Tips For Elevating Your Dining Room
The dining room is one of the main areas in your home that needs to look fabulous. It is somewhere you can relax and enjoy meals with friends and family after a long and busy week. In my latest article, I suggest several ways to boost the overall decor of this space. Carry on reading for more.
If you are considering renovating your existing dining room (or a first-time installation), there are plenty of different ways to transform the area into something truly special, somewhere you will want to spend time (not just at mealtimes).
Mix And Match Your Furniture
One of the key points of creating a stunning dining room is to avoid furniture that is uniform (as this can make the area feel small and uninspired).
Don’t be afraid to mix and match, as different colours and textures can work fantastic together. For example, black dining chairs with a contrasting wooden sideboard and a large vase of flowers can create a lovely visual effect. Incorporating different colours and materials can take the space up a notch.
Consider Artwork For Wall Decoration
An often underestimated aspect is the inclusion of art, which can boost the visual appeal. Make sure to choose artwork that speaks to you, and remember that it is subjective to the owner of the house (and even the guests)—always opt for art that you enjoy looking at (rather than something that is trending).
Aim for larger pieces, as small artwork can be swallowed up on a large wall, bringing down the tone of the whole room. For extra inspiration, check out hotels, art galleries, and large department stores, which often have beautiful pieces on display.
Think About Statement Lighting
Lighting can totally change the appearance of a room, bringing it all together as a cohesive whole. Instead of a spotlight (or something similar), install a unique light that can be a huge talking point in the dining room. Additionally, consider lights that can sit on the walls and opt for dimmer switches or smart bulbs (so you can adjust the brightness depending on your mood or the occasion).
Alternatively, add extra lamps to the area, which allow for softer and more controlled light while also elevating the overall decor.
Summary
By following the tips in my latest guide, you can totally elevate the design of your dining room, creating a stunning space you will want to spend time in. The dining room is a place to enjoy meals with friends and family and general socialising. It offers sophistication with a cosy touch, refined yet welcoming. So what are you waiting for?
