There are a few important things to remember when Decorating a Contemporary Dining Room.
For the new homer buyer and existing home owner decorating the dining room space will be a task that can not be avoided. Here are just a few quick tips to help make this experience a bit more enjoyable and hopefully will be reflected in your new home or existing home designs
- Establish the focal point of the dinning room and coordinate dining room furniture, wall color, dining room table pads, the seat covers/ chair cushions around it. In some dining rooms the focal point will be an existing feature such as a chandelier, window space and in some it will be something you bring in to the room such as a table center piece or wall décor or complete dining room set.
- Being selective with your color scheme will path the way to tying it all together from light fixtures to floor coverings. A dining room rug even it is layers is great way to enhance the room with new color and life when it compliments or contrasts with the overall decorative sequence. Keep in mind that color and textures does matter and with these two decorating items one can change the world quickly easily and relatively in expensively.
- Don’t forget about traffic flow. Leave enough room for people to walk around the dining room area tables and chairs so they can easily get from one side of the room to the other without disrupting the dining experience.
- Be careful to pull the other furniture in the dining area away from the walls. Having all the furniture backs touching the walls is one of the biggest mistakes people make in the dining room. Keeping these pieces six or more inches from the walls pushes them more into the center of the dining room and everything else closer together. If balanced well you will create a more intimate setting. Utilizing floor boards along the base of the floors and wall will prevent furniture from being pushed against the walls. As long as the backs of the pieces are finished, there’s no reason why they can’t be slightly exposed.
