This rustic dining setup is part of a kitchen diner layout. The dining area is anchored in front of a beautiful architectural alcove with the help of an oversized rattan pendant light. The woven shade complements the style of the six dining chairs that encompass a glass topped table.

Sitting beneath another rattan shade (though this one being of a smaller scale), a chunky wooden dining table looks the part with a beautiful live edge.

An eclectic mix of colourful rattan dining chairs and an upholstered banquette bench seat sets this dining suite apart from the rest.

This mediterranean rustic chic decor scheme has a wonderful sense of sophisticated refinement about it. The roaring fireplace set atop a large store of cut logs makes the perfect accompaniment. The modern dining chairs surprisingly meld well with the overall scheme.

Rustic decor is mixed with coastal flavour here. Driftwood artwork is mounted on one wall, and two mother-of-pearl chandeliers shimmer over the elegant dining table.

Three simple white dining room pendant lights with rustic style light up a wooden dining table. Beneath a raw wood dining surface, the legs have been painted white to give a clean and fresh modern finish.

Rustic and industrial are two aesthetics that meld perfectly together. Here a set of stools have been teamed with a long tressle table. A concrete and metal planter decorates one end.

This rustic industrial dining room uses a mixed bag of dining chairs and stools, each with their own patina.

Faux fur throws give this dining room a cosy rustic flourish, and softens hard wooden seats. Over at the other end of the room, a daybed receives the same treatment. Festoon string lights zigzag across a glass panelled ceiling, all set to add twinkling light overhead during late evening meals and nighttime festivities. A natural weave rug keeps things a little toastier underfoot by creating a barrier over a cold stone floor.

Unique rattan basket chairs surround a whitewashed tressel table. A large geometric pendant light adds a contemporary edge.

This dining space has a tribal influence, brought in the form of a monochrome tribal print wall hanging and matching cloth napkins. A set of four chairs are made up from two black painted wooden seats and two in natural rattan. The slight mismatch brings a good dose of personality and individuality.

In this space, a sleek dining table and geo dining chairs look particularly modern, but teamed with a distressed wooden feature wall and a steampunk clock the suite settles into a rustic vibe.

A dining table with drawers provides perfect on-hand storage for cutlery, placemats and napkins. The basket of fruit and vases full of garden flowers make a particularly sweet rustic centrepiece.

These sleek modern dining chairs work brilliantly with the shape and colour of the industrial style lighting.

Rustic wood and metal shelving units provide a great backdrop to this refined dining table set.

A large wall clock can also fill up an empty dining room wall. This colourful one looks great beside the authentic barn door and cluster pendant lights.

This small scale rustic dining room ensemble sits atop a bold geometric tile floor.

Amazing exposed wooden rafters do all the talking in this lofty rustic interior. In the centre of a long wooden table, two tall candlesticks are almost tall enough to touch the trio of slim pendant lights.

Rustic dining benches are a great way to go if you have a very large family or a fluctuating number of guests - there’s always room for one more when you can shuffle up a little closer! Dining benches offer a laid-back minimalist look, with no chair backs or a multitude of legs to clutter up the visual.

A pretty tablecloth adds an unexpected pop of delicate colour over an industrial dining set.

More dining benches, but this time rather than just two extra long seats we have four smaller pieces.

Classically upholstered chairs bring a touch of tradition to a rustic space.

This vibrant area rug steals the spotlight beneath a pale dining set.

The dining set in this home would fit in with many different styles of interior decor but the towering cut log feature wall positively screams rustic. The logs, teamed with two huge rattan lampshades and a red accent dining chair, really warm up a cold white kitchen diner space. The tribal print rug finishes off the tiny but tenacious dining spot.

This modern tribal chic home has a pale wood dining bench tucked neatly behind a sofa, coupled with contrasting black bar stools.

Metal chairs work well alongside wooden ones.

Exposed bulb pendants on extendable wires can be spread as far and wide as needed.

Consider opting for brightly coloured wiring for an extra eye-catching lighting installation.
