Dining rooms in any household should be warm and welcoming places where people gather to dine and discuss. With a few simple add-ons, you can easily create a congenial ambience that makes mealtimes with friends and family a pleasant affair. Here are some dining room decorating ideas that can instantly up the ante.
Statement Lighting
While chandeliers have always been used to decorate dining areas, a more contemporary design can be achieved with sleek lighting options like lanterns, pendant lights or cascading bulbs. There are a variety of styles to choose from and the soft light emitted by them makes them a beautiful focal point.
Wall Art
Choose artwork that speaks to you. This way you can easily lend a personal touch to your dining room. Series paintings like the one shown above are trending right now. Hang a quirky painting or an illustration or even a framed photograph to elevate the decor.
Rugs
Rugs are the easiest way to style a dining room. Most homes today have an open layout and rugs are the best way to demarcate the dining space from the adjoining kitchen or living area. Wood finishes are popular materials used for dining furniture and that leaves us with plenty of rug colors, prints and patterns which can be paired with a versatile color like brown.
Indoor Plants
Nothing works better than incorporating some natural elements in the room. Put plants and flowers in the corners to lend a positive and fresh spin to the ambience. You can use them as centerpieces. They cost next to nothing and brighten up the place beautifully.
