Don't want to replace your dining furniture but want to give the space a new look? We share easy and affordable updates.
Add a Mirror
Enhance the spaciousness and luxury of your dining area by incorporating a large-scale mirror. Choose a mirror as large as your room allows to maximize light reflection and create the illusion of a larger space. Opt for a mirror with a striking shape or frame to add visual interest and elegance, or hang a matching pair for symmetry.
Update the Lighting
Elevate the atmosphere of your dining area by updating the lighting. Consider swapping out your current lighting fixtures for a single statement chandelier or a collection of pendant lights. Add a dimmer control to adjust the lighting intensity for different occasions and moods, creating the perfect ambiance for dining and entertaining.
Decorate One of the Walls
Transform a wall in your dining area into a focal point with on-trend paint colors, statement wallpaper, or oversized art. Experiment with bold paint colors or eye-catching wallpaper patterns to create a visually striking feature wall. Alternatively, create a gallery wall with a curated collection of wall art or family photos for a personal touch.
Lay Down a Rug
Ground and define your dining space while adding color, pattern, texture, and warmth with a large area rug. Choose a rug that complements your dining area's design scheme and adds visual interest to the floor. Opt for a low pile, heat-set synthetic rug or wool rug that is stain-resistant, soft, and durable, especially in a high-traffic dining area prone to spills.
Add a Sideboard
Define your dining space and create extra storage and serving options with a sideboard or buffet. Use a sideboard to section off your dining space within a large open-plan area, creating a more intimate feel. Utilize the sideboard for storing large platters, servingware, and table linens, keeping your dining area organized and clutter-free.
Add a Dining Bench
Maximize seating and add a casual vibe to your dining area with a dining bench. Easily accommodate extra guests without investing in a new dining table by adding a dining bench. Create a less formal look and feel in your dining area with a mix of dining chairs and a bench, and have fun mixing and matching seating styles to personalize your space.
Update Your Table Setting
Refresh your table accessories to instantly elevate your dining space. Add a pop of color and pattern with a stylish tablecloth that complements your dining area's decor. Upgrade your table setting with a set of linen napkins for a touch of elegance and sophistication. Bring sparkle and opulence to your meals with gold cutlery, and add a simple yet elegant touch with fresh flowers in a beautiful vase.
