Dining Room Window

If your dining room has a window, you may want to place the table near the window area to add more light that is directed toward the dining room furniture. You can also place a window seat by the window and flank it with the table and chairs on the opposite side of the window.

Open Space

If your dining room is basically a blank slate, you can use this to your advantage. A large area rug can be placed over the center of the dining room and your table can be set upon it. You may also want to add a banquette table to a wall to free up space for entertaining and storage.

The architecture of your dining room will also help you decide the best layout for your space.  After determining the best layout for your dining room, you can add the necessary furniture pieces to add storage, function and design to your space.

Functionality First

A beautiful dining table that looks great but is not large enough for the family is not a good thing. The first consideration when remodeling this room would be the needs of the family and how the room is used. If the extended family is often entertained here, a larger table or one that has add in leaves may be necessary. If storage space is an option, furniture for the dining room needs to be well designed to hold everything neatly.

Design of the Furniture

After the needs of the family are considered, the beauty and the overall design of the furniture can be looked at for the dining room. For a room that opens up to another room or is an open floor plan, the furniture should complement other pieces nearby.

Dining room furniture can be elegant and ornate, but it first needs to be able to meet the demands of the family. With these things met, the furniture will sure to be used well for years to come.

Area Rugs

Area rugs protect wood floors from some damage, although they are typically not large enough to cover an entire room. Protect your floors from heavy traffic by placing throw rugs and floor runners near doorways and anywhere there is a lot of foot traffic. Avoid rugs with rubber, as they may discolor the floors.

Felt Pads to Prevent Floor Scratching

Felt pads are another option for protecting wood floors from scratching and gouging. Place them under the feet of any furniture that may scratch the floor, particularly dining room chairs. They are moved back and forth so often that the finish can become worn and scratched in very little time.

Protect your hardwood flooring from damage with the use of area rugs, throw rugs, and felt pads. Other ways you can keep them from becoming worn and scratched include: sweeping the floors often, so debris cannot scratch the finish, and asking guests to remove their shoes at the door.

Save To Replace

Replacing all of your worn or obsolete furnishings can be very costly and probably would not be a good idea in these times of economic insecurity. But investing a few dollars a month in a small account that is designated especially for a new couch, and then for a new dining room set, and then for a new bureau for the bedroom, etc, could be the solution to updating tired looking furnishings.

Incentive To Save

To give you a bit of incentive to carry on with this project, why not immediately invest in a small item such as a bookcase or a comfortable chair for the most lived in room in your house and imagine how good the room will look when everything in the room has been replaced, and then start saving for the next piece of furniture.

Memories are made and remembered over the dining room table. Doesn’t the dining room deserve the best in dining room furniture?

Goodbye Old Furniture

You have probably had that old dining room set so long it seems like an old friend and it has been through every occasion, happy or sad, your family has experienced. Perhaps you can donate you furniture to another less fortunate family who will continue the memory making process around it.

Unless it is unrepairable, donate it or even try to have a yard sale.  You just never know what is another man’s treasure.

Hello New Furniture

Now, it is time to choose a new dining set. One that will seat everyone comfortably on a holiday and that can be made smaller for just the family. Tables are available that open in the center and reveal a leaf that is stored beneath the table when it is not needed. And just think how elegant that one will look in your dining room.  Adding a sideboard against a blank will bring a sense of style and dimension to the room.

Choose Whimsical Furniture

All too often people choose dining room sets which are beautiful, but too formal for their lifestyle. You don’t want a bunch of forbidding pieces you’re afraid to use.

Consider buying sturdy chairs and a table in an unusual material, like molded rubber or plastic. Modern design makes amazing use of recycled materials, and they are so much more durable than traditional dining room furniture. Spills are easier to clean up with wipe-clean surfaces, and you’ll have a fun, relaxed look you and your kids will enjoy.

Bright, Fun Artwork

Another great way to add some spontaneity to your dining area is to use bold artwork. Hanging one large, vibrant piece center stage above your table and chairs will instantly draw the eye to the room, and makes a great conversation piece.

Try incorporating your favorite colors from the artwork into the table display, too. For example, if your art piece has bits of pink in it; consider playing a bowl of pale pink flowers, like fresh peonies, on your table. This is such a simple trick, but it harmonizes the room to a marvelous degree.

Whatever you decide to use in your dining room, remember to have fun with the process. Remember, decorating is all about expressing yourself. It’s okay to play!

1. Be Practical – If you have a large family over for Thanksgiving or Christmas every year, be sure to find dining room furniture that can accommodate a large group. If space is an issue, consider looking for a narrower table that will allow people to sit on both sides without taking up a lot of extra room in the middle. Buying a table with leaves is also a great way to save space when you’re not at capacity!  Select the right style and size.
2. Consider aesthetics -Though it is important for all the furniture to sit well together, it is easier to get away with buying chairs separately, as the dining room table will most likely have a tablecloth covering it most of the time. Still, try to find tables and chairs in a set to avoid glaring mismatches.
3. Dining room color -Some studies have shown that colors between red and orange promote hunger, so it is recommended that your paint your dining room a warm color.  Regardless of the wall color, select furniture that coordinates with the overall color scheme of the room.

The dining room is a place for family and friends to sit together and eat and share experiences. You want your furniture to portray a cozy, welcoming environment for your guests. These simple guidelines will help you make the most of your dining room area.
