La dining area is a must see in our home. In the dining room we meet family and friends, so it becomes one of the central points in our home. That is why we always think about the design of this space, to make it more welcoming and stylish.
Let's see some of the keys that we must take into account when decorating the dining room. There are many ideas and styles available, so the variety can be overwhelming. But if we follow some guidelines, it will be much easier for us to do so.
The size of the furniture
This is something that we must choose well because otherwise we will find a dining room that is not comfortable or functional. We must measure the distance between walls in the area where we are going to place the dining room in order to have an idea of how big the table can be. If you like meetings and need capacity, you can always opt for tables that are extendable, so that the rest of the time they don't take up so much space. If the table is large, we can afford chairs that occupy more, with high backs and arms. Otherwise it is better to opt for light pieces.
Choose the design of the chairs well
Chairs are a very important part in this type of space. Choosing a good design makes our dining room have much more style and don't go unnoticed. We even like the trend whereby chairs of different shapes and sizes are chosen, in an eclectic and original way. Materials in this case are important, since wood can be a classic and warm choice at the same time, which does not go out of style, while plastics are ideal for the freshest and most modern dining rooms.
Provides color with textiles
The textiles can be a good addition to give color to spaces. A dining room will always need good textiles such as a carpet that is beautiful with which we can give color. Care must be taken when choosing tablecloths and rugs, since if they do not combine they can spoil the effect of the dining room. If we hesitate when buying, it is always better to opt for those that are simple and basic, that is, a carpet in beige or gray tones and white tablecloths or plain tones.
A well-placed lamp
The dining room should also have good lighting and we come across many ideas when we should light it. The dining room lamps that we like the most hang over the table, to give this area a lot of style. The industrial spotlights are one of our favorite lamps although there are many other designs that can be perfect for the dining room. With a lamp on the table we will add a lot of style to everything.
Support and storage furniture
In the dining room we will not only need a table and chairs, but we also usually have to add some storage furniture to help us. In these cases, a dresser or taller furniture is usually chosen, but we like dressers because they do not occupy so much with their presence and are ideal for creating a good style. In these dressers we can store everything we need for the dining room, from the tablecloths to the cutlery we need.
How to decorate the walls
The walls of the dining room can also be decorated so that we have a nice style. We like simple paintings, which add an elegant touch to everything, with black and white prints for example or in shades that match the textiles.
