Entertain in Style – Styling Your Dining Room

By Darlings Of Chelsea

A dining room is a wonderful place to bring people together to enjoy good times. Dining room interiors should be carefully created to suit the home and the owner. For instance you could opt for a traditional or wholly modern look. Alternatively you could choose a bright and colourful room design or a subtle natural one in even tones. Think about your dining room and what would appeal to you the most.

Choosing your Dining Room Furniture

A dining room may not simply be used for meals. It could double as an office during the day, or even a playroom. Bear these other uses in mind as you plan your dining room layout. A hidden bureau or some toy boxes designed to fit in with the design and finish of the table could solve the problem of multiple uses.

Your penchant for modern or traditional design will help you choose your furniture and select the right finish too. A traditional wooden table may look delightful in an older property, but a new build might demand a striking glass table. What would suit your property?

How to dress the table for success

You can dress your table differently according to the season or occasion. A simple but elegant look would be to use a white tablecloth with coloured napkins to complement the colour of the walls. A simple floral display can act as a centrepiece; perhaps you could choose flowers appropriate to the time of year.

It helps to be influenced by special occasions too when it comes to dressing your table. For example, greens and reds always look stunning at Christmas. If you are planning a Halloween party, think of a striking black tablecloth coupled with orange napkins. This will instantly bring a seasonal theme to the table.

It’s easy to create several nice themes to complete your dining room when it comes to dressing the table. Even when the table is not in use you can add a centrepiece to it, perhaps with flowers or alternatively with candles. The more confidence you gain, the easier it becomes to have a stunning dining room.
