Medal Paints celebrate moms yearning for a dining space that exudes a sense of calm and understated elegance. The round table serves as a central focal point, its smooth surface and cylindrical, possibly fluted, base creating a modern yet soft silhouette. The chairs feature warm wooden frames contrasting beautifully with the textured, light grey upholstery, offering both comfort and visual interest.
The colour palette is deliberately neutral and soothing, dominated by the off-white of the walls and table, and the soft grey of the chairs. The subtle variations in tone create depth without being visually overwhelming. The minimalist styling is evident in the lack of clutter and the carefully chosen decorative elements: two simple ceramic vases, one with delicate dried stems, placed centrally on the table.
Natural light likely plays a significant role in enhancing the airy feel of the space, further emphasised by the light wall colours Nobokwe and White by Medal Paints in its Walls & Ceilings range. The overall impression is one of serenity, sophistication, and quiet comfort.

Recreate this look for mom:
To recreate this “Soft Minimalist Serenity” in your dining space:
- Embrace a Neutral Palette: Start with light and airy wall colours like the Nobokwe (a soft grey) and White available in Medal’s Walls & Ceilings Range. These provide a versatile backdrop. Keep larger furniture pieces in neutral tones like white, light grey, or natural wood.
- Choose a Round Dining Table: A round table encourages conversation and creates a softer flow in the space, which can be particularly appealing in a family setting. Look for one with a simple, modern base.
- Opt for Comfortable and Stylish Chairs: Select chairs with clean lines and comfortable upholstery in a neutral but textured fabric like the light grey shown. Wooden frames add warmth and a touch of organic appeal. Ensure they are practical and easy to clean.
- Keep Decor Minimal and Intentional: Avoid clutter. Choose a few well-selected decorative items. Simple ceramic vases with natural elements like dried flowers or greenery work well. A single, understated pendant light above the table could also enhance the look.
- Focus on Texture: Introduce subtle textures through upholstery, rugs (if you add one), and even the finish of the table and chairs. This adds depth and interest to a neutral colour scheme.
- Maximise Natural Light: Keep window treatments simple and allow as much natural light as possible to flood the space. This will enhance the feeling of airiness and calm.
- Prioritise Functionality: While the look is stylish, ensure it remains practical for everyday use. Choose durable materials that are easy to clean, especially if you have young children.
By focusing on a neutral palette, clean lines, comfortable furniture, and minimal yet thoughtful decor, mothers can create a dining space that is both aesthetically pleasing and a peaceful haven for family meals. For more information, visit www.medalpaints.co.za
