THREE ELEMENTS OF AN ELEGANT DINING ROOM

THREE ELEMENTS OF AN ELEGANT DINING ROOM

There’s more to the dining room than meets the eye. It’s where your family meets for dinner and to catch up with each other. It’s where you host lunchtime gatherings or dinner parties for friends and loved ones on special occasions, too. So you have to put a lot of thought into its design.

If you’re thinking of transforming your dining room into a more elegant setting, you have to pay attention to the smallest details. It’s through those small details that you can pull off a timeless interior.

Take a look at these elements of an elegant dining room.

1. GET STARTED WITH THE FLOORING.

If we’re talking about practicality, rugs protect the floors of your dining room from wear and tear, and the occasional food spills. This is especially important when you have natural stone floors, mosaic tiles, or exotic hardwood flooring. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that the flooring remains smooth when family and friends come over for simple get-togethers and special occasions.

In terms of interior design, rugs can extend up to 6 feet on every side of the dining table, so there’s no question that they set the tone for the entire room. Be mindful when choosing a modern rug for your dining room. An elegant design is bright and ornate but not blindingly colorful or over-the-top.

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT LIGHTING.

Your choice of lighting creates the mood that encourages your household or your guests to settle in and enjoy good food over engaging conversations. If you want to set an elegant tone in the dining room, the go-to choice of lighting is a chandelier. Match it with table lamps for accent lighting.

Chandeliers and table lamps add an air of drama to any room. But keep in mind that elegance is balancing minimalism with opulence. A room can feel relaxed without being too stiff when you install dimmer switches to adjust the brightness of your dining room lights.

3. ACCESSORIZE ACCORDINGLY.

With an eye-catching rug under your dining table and an elegant chandelier over it, you’re halfway done with decorating your dining room. The rest is in the details. It’s in the centerpiece of your long table, the artwork hung up on one wall, the vases that hold fresh flowers, the candle holders that add a touch of luxury to the room, and your choice of plates and silverware during meals.

Mismatched plates are OK for breakfast in the kitchen or a casual patio lunch. But when you’re serving meals in the dining room, every little detail has to follow the elegant theme and color scheme. Choose accessories and dinnerware that look like they’re all custom designed to match.

CREATE A TIMELESS DESIGN FOR YOUR FORMAL DINING ROOM

Good food and an inviting ambiance always go hand in hand, which is why you have to pay close attention to the details that make up your dining room.
