Adding the Right Furniture
Making a perfect dining room starts with the right dining room furniture choices. Your dining table is the centrepiece of furniture in your dining room and it’s important that you take time to select it and consider the room’s size and purpose. Rectangular dining tables are not only timeless but they are excellent for hosting large gatherings. Round dining tables, on the other hand encourage closeness. Oval and square tables are ideal for a more contemporary look.
Liven Up With a Chandelier
Dining rooms are the perfect place for little drama. Since lighting fixtures are the centerpiece of this space, make sure that you choose a chandelier that is an extension of your style. Just ensure that the light is proportionate to the size of your room. Adding accessories such as vases, a beautiful flower arrangement in the center and an artistic gallery wall can speak oodles about your personality.
Adding a Stylish Coffee Bar
If you are like many people who can’t complete the day without sipping a cup of coffee, add fun to your dining area by adding a DIY coffee bar. Repurpose a cabinet or a shelf and place it against the wall with a nearby outlet to hold your coffee maker. If you wish to add a more authentic café feel, a chalkboard wall paint behind it is just as fun.
Putting Up the Perfect Wallpaper
Wallpaper is often considered as outdated, but that is simply not the case. When done the right way, a perfect wallpaper can work for either a traditional, modern or a trendy home décor. In addition, a stylish wallpaper also gives texture to your walls without having to hand-paint patterns and designs. You can opt to wallpaper one of the walls or even the ceiling.
Creating Perfect Drama with Curtains
Regardless of the height of your windows, the curtains should ideally start close to the ceiling and end at the floor; this gives an illusion of taller ceilings. Depending on how formal you want your dining space to look, there are basically three length options:
- Pooling: If you wish to create drama, you’ll want to choose pooling. This perfectly brings your curtains four inches on the floor giving off a sense of elegance and style.
- Floating: When curtains end just half to one inch above the floor, the room looks more personalized and chic.
- Breaking: Curtains that extend one to three inches beyond the floor, gives a more relaxed look and is a great option to hide uneven floors.
Wrapping Up
Everyone has a unique hosting style, and your dining space should ideally mirror the same feel. Don’t let clutter obstruct the way of creating a stylish and perfect dining space. Break the monotony and let creativity take over. Compared to your living room, designing the dining space is a little trickier, but the above-stated tips can inspire you to make this space unique and elegant.
