Tips To Optimize Your Dining Room

A dining room is about fashion and function.  Function is key, but at the same time the dining room is about so much more than just eating a meal.  It’s about the experience and the ambiance people feel when they dine in your home.

Think about whether you need a table with leaves if you plan to entertain a crowd

Make sure the chairs are comfortable (we can help with that) and the right height for the table

Change the look of your table with linens and table settings, and the look of your chairs with slipcovers (we can help with that)

Add interest to your walls with wallpaper, an accent painted wall or wainscoting

Use mirrors to make the room seem larger

Plan for beautiful lighting, including a chandelier, and even wall sconces or buffet lamps

Add window coverings that provide both beauty and function, especially when the late afternoon sun is streaming in (we can help with that)

And, of course, decorate your dining room for the holidays for added cheer
