Urban Loft Pairings: Extendable Dining Tables and Wall Art

Urban lofts reward bold choices, but their tall walls, open plan layouts and hard industrial surfaces can make a dining area feel lost or echoey. Pairing the right extendable dining table with wall art solves much of that. Here we explain what makes loft dining spaces different, and how to choose a table in dark timber, metal or stone effect that belongs alongside exposed brick and steel framed windows. We then focus on scale, showing how to size a single statement piece, a pair, a triptych or a gallery wall in proportion to the table rather than the wall. You will find advice on which kinds of art suit industrial interiors, from large abstract canvases and sculptural metal pieces to black and white photography and textile hangings, plus the right hanging height above a dining table, how to fix art to brick, how to light both table and artwork in the evening, and finishing touches with chairs and rugs....
