Add Interesting Lighting
Go Rustic
When you think rustic, do you think, “roughing it?” Think that no more — a rough-hewn wood table adds a relaxed vibe to an otherwise formal dining room, creating an inviting and warm space that encourages gatherings
Stuffy No More
Gone are the days of the requisite dining room set consisting of a perfectly matched table and chairs. Instead, mix furniture styles, fabrics and finishes for a look that is less contrived and more welcoming. Blending seating gives the room a comfortable, lived-in look and relaxed sense of style.
Replace Chairs With Benches
Benches haven’t traditionally been associated with formal dining rooms but communal seating is making a big splash in the design world. A space-saving option, benches are a convenient alternative to individual chairs, making the dining experience more intimate without compromising seating capacity.
Add a Glam Touch
Think mirrors are only for walls? Not these days. Mirrored furniture adds drama to any dining room. Although primarily found on the table, mirrored buffets or sideboards are also hot. Antiqued mirror works especially well because the worn, mottled finish disguises the inevitable stains and wear.
Accessories Go Big
