Dine In Style In Your Stylish Dining Room!

Much like the kitchen is said to be the warm heart of a home, we could say that the dining room is its hungry belly! This is an important room in any family home, it’s the space where everyone gathers to eat, especially on special occasions like holidays and birthday parties! Considering its central place, it is surprisingly often a room that doesn’t get the kind of loving attention and detailed decoration it deserves! Let’s take a minute to rectify that situation by giving your dining room a quick makeover so it can feel full of the love it craves!
Overhead Lighting – While the kitchen is the place for warm and casual intimacy, the dining room takes a step back from that and retains a bit of a formal air that lends itself well to large gatherings and traditional dinners. Because it’s so important that the people arranged around the table can see the delicious food they have been served, having the proper overhead lighting is a must. We love the 5 chandelier light because it not only casts a bright, but never glaring, even light across the table’s surface, it also adds a touch of posh elegance with its gorgeous, sparkling design!
Dining Room Table – There are a wide variety of style options for this, from the classic heavy oak of yesteryear to the ultramodern chic of thin steel legs and a marble top. Whatever you choose, make sure that it fits in with the rest of the room’s basic decor. Lately a lot of homes are opting for a round table, but the problem is that unless you have a vast banquet hall like Camelot Castle, a round table large enough to seat more than six isn’t going to be a good fit in a room that is almost always built as a rectangle! If you have a very small family and don’t host big family events that might be fine, round certainly looks elegant, but if you are putting on a major holiday dinner then you need a big, rectangular table, ideally one that can be extended with table leaves to accommodate your crowd!
Dining Room Chairs – Once again the style will depend on the room’s decor, the important thing being that the chairs match the table, and look good placed around it. Our caveat is that style does not trump comfort! Nobody is going to enjoy your sumptuous meal much if they have a sore bottom from sitting on a hard plank of a chair seat!
Enjoy dining in style in your stylish dining room!
