Consider the way you use the space

Do you eat at your dining table every night, or only on special occasions? With many of us opting for dinner in front of the television nowadays, our dining rooms may not get used as much as they used to. How often you spend at the dining table should have an impact on how you decorate. If the dining table is reserved for more formal dinners or big family meals, you should give the surroundings a little pizzazz to match the experience. If eating dinner at the table is an everyday routine, opt for more simplistic decor.

Patterns are a great way to give your dining room a traditional, homely touch. Although patterning may seem cheesy, you could find yourself spoilt for choice at the diversity in the market nowadays—it’s not all corn cobs and tartan anymore! Whether you want some funky curtains or a feature wall, adding an interesting pattern is a sure-fire way to inject your own personality into the room.

Add some fancy lighting

Because your dining room doesn’t call for the functionality that your kitchen does, you can add a beautiful pendant light that’ll be sure to make dinner time more ambient. Lights tend to be a popular first choice for dining room additions, as they create a focal point that can be as simple or as opulent as you like. However, don’t feel restricted to hanging a chandelier over your table! Jazz up the room with some softer wall lights or standing lamps to create the best feel for your room.
