Contrary to popular belief, enhancing your dining room does not require a big budget or great effort. In fact, you can do all your enhancements in a single day, if you get all the family members to participate.
Without constructing anything, you can turn a small dining space into a large room. All you need to do are little proven techniques on space management. Here are five tips and tricks to get you started.
1. Deep Contrasting Colors
Neutral colors and a combination of textures make your dining room seem cozier. Using deep contrasting colors for accents and luxe details add a touch of contemporary chic to an otherwise ordinary looking dining space.
2. Window
Large windows give the illusion of bigger space because it extends the width of the room. They also flood the area with natural lighting, which would save you a lot of money on energy bills.
3. Lighting
While chandelieres have always served their purpose in dining rooms, you can get a little more creative by considering other options. Try using small lamp sconces. They are not only energy efficient, they also create the mood. And particularly with stylish sconces, they add eye-catching details to your dining room.
4. Curtains
Sometimes, you don’t actually have to enlarge your windows. A great trick to adding height to your dining room would be to focus on the installation of curtains. Instead of installing the curtain rod close to the window, raise it higher to create floor to ceiling curtains.
5. Furniture
If you’re confused about the shape of your table, go with round tables. A round table paired with armless dining chairs is more space efficient. Also, round tables encourage more intimate conversations.
