Create the Desired Ambience in your Dining Room
Use interesting accessories for the
dining room to complement the furniture and to create an appealing ambience.
Pick a few good items of furniture and arrange in a balanced rather than
cluttered fashion. Create visual impact by making a clever use of contrasting
colors and smart lighting.
Research has shown that where and how
you eat is very important; perhaps as much as what you eat. Your dining room
does not consist of only dining chairs and dining room table; it is also about
ambience, about a welcoming and warm look. The dining room should be a place
that you enjoy being in, not just a place to sit and eat your meals.
Accessories: Collect interesting dining
room accessories, such an unusual cake platter, Pasta containers, Spice
Bottles, Handmade or hand painted pitcher or vase etc. A beautiful vase for the
center of the dining table or to place on your dining room hutch, makes an
interesting focal point and adds a lovely decorating accent for the room. A
cake platter or a decorative salver can be both functional as well as good to
look at. It can be used to serve a dessert like a cake or to serve hors
d’ouvres or other snacks. Decorative elements such as wall art, photo frames or
curios can be used, to create some appealing accents but do not use too many;
the drawing room is a better place for displaying those.
Arranging the Furniture: Clutter is
never attractive, so try not to crowd too many pieces of dining room furniture
into your dining space. Pick a few well matched pieces of furniture; perhaps
even a , a light and airy look usually works
better for this space.
