Since the dining room is where you share intimate meals with your family during the week and where you host your dinner party is essential for this area to be inviting and full of warmth. Is it time to breathe a new life into your dining room? Then you’ll likely have to consider several factors such as color, style, and function.
Below are some tips that can give you inspiration.
Lighting Scheme
Modernize the dining area by updating the lighting scheme. If you’re interested in trying something edgy try installing industrial style lighting. You can then balance the look by using furnishing that embraces natural materials such as a distressed wooden dining table combined with wicker chairs.
On the other hand, if you’re set on embracing a more classical look then it’s time to go chandelier shopping. Yes, chandeliers are a great way to create an area of interest. The width of the chandelier should be approximately ½ to ⅔ the width of the table and at least 30 -34 inches above the table.
Chairs
If you already have a set of chairs then you can simply freshen them up by applying slipcovers to them. Chair slipcovers allow you to easily change the look of a chair. If you want to get fancy you can custom slipcovers made with monograms on them. You can purchase standard slipcovers in all kinds of styles from popular furniture shops such as Wayfair and Ikea.
Add Just A Pop of Pattern
A touch of a pattern is great for brightening up dull spaces. You can add a bit of pattern to the windows with some modern Roman shades that feature a modest pattern. You can also opt to add pattern to the walls with a striped paint treatment. Consider installing a wallpaper. Today’s wallpaper is a far cry from your grandmother’s dull wallpaper. These days they are manufactured in fun graphics and geometric patterns.
Colors
Don’t be afraid to use bold colors. In fact, by doing so you can make a big statement. You can use complementary colors such as lime green or pink with your chairs and drapes. Stick with a neutral color table.
