Enjoying a meal with your friends and loved ones is much more fun
when you have a dining room design that fits your life style. As a room
that gets more use than most of the rooms in the home your dining room
will need extra attention when it comes to design. The more you plan on
doing to your space the more time it will take to design it. If all you
need is a fresh coat of paint and hang a few paintings then you'll not
need to take a lot of time, but before you decide that is all you'll
need think about everything you could do to it then decide.
Creating
an attractive dining room is more a work of art than a science. Using a
bit of creativity and a little bit of imagination you can make a really
nice looking space with very little money. Start on one side and work
your way across the room changing things as you go.
A new dining
set can become quite costly. Decide if you really need one. Maybe a new
table cloth and some slip covers is all you need to spruce them up, if
they are not too badly worn and uncomfortable you could save yourself a
lot of money.
A vase of fresh cut flowers always looks good either
on the table as a center piece or on a side table up against one wall.
These types of decorations look great without causing the room to look
cluttered. Quite often candles make a real romantic atmosphere for that
special night.
Keep in mind any new dining room furniture you add should always compliment the other colors in the room.
Don't
forget about the floor it plays a big part in how the room looks. There
are a lot of options available now days that are relatively inexpensive
to buy, but look and feel really good. Quality and price vary a lot
between the different types. From hard wood and cork down to cheap
laminates, tile or vinyl I'm sure you'll find something within your
budget that you like. You may even like the idea of placing a rug under
your table and chairs. It has a really classy look and can save your
floor from any scuff marks when people move the chairs around.
The
biggest thing to remember when making your design plans is to set up a
budget and plan for everything you are going to do. And don't forget to
have fun with it.
