5 design ideas for an inviting dining room
Whether it’s a bit of gossip over coffee or an animated debate over dinner, the best dining rooms have staying power - here’s how to get it
Focus your lighting
An overhead lamp above the table creates a warm ambience, while letting you see your food more clearly.
Get a Buffet
So you don’t have to keep running to the kitchen for dining essentials. Sit plants and decor on it to liven things up.
Stick to a style
Whether sleek and modern, with glass and metal, or rustic and homely, with wood and upholstery, create a unifying theme.
Expand with mirrors
Add depth to the room with a large mirror that’ll make your room appear more spacious. It’s great for checking your teeth, too.
Get a tablecloth
In the old days, tablecloths screamed special occasion. Go retro and impress your guests with some sweet prints.
