The meeting point in your home for both your family members
and your guests is the dining room. It’s where you gather to eat and to
entertain. It’s important to create an atmosphere in your dining room that is
casual, yet intimate. Spector Furniture offers all the dining room furniture
you need to build a great meeting place for your family and guests. In order to
create the best possible dining room in your home, be sure to keep the
following factors in mind.
The first thing you should do to create a beautiful space is
to choose the best color for the room. Since the dining room is intended to be
a gathering place full of conversation and interaction, warm colors like red,
orange, yellow, tan and light green are encouraged. These tones are said to be
more engaging for guests. The idea is that these warm colors are intimate and
comfortable, the perfect setting for your dining room.
When selecting furniture for your dining room, make sure to consider
both the color of the rest of the room and the size of the room. You’ll want
furniture that can fill the space, but not too overwhelming. You’ll want plenty
of room to move around and to pull chairs out without hitting anything. Measure
the space so you know you have plenty of room to move about.
The furniture you select should also match the color of the
rest of the room. Warm-colored walls should complement a warm-colored dining
room table. Red or tan wood and oak tables and chairs are popular choices. The
table should also match the shape of your dining room. In smaller rooms, a
round or square table will work best. At the other end of the spectrum, bigger
rooms call for a longer, rectangular table to fill the space. One way to
compromise would be to purchase a smaller table that includes extension leaves.
This way, you can maximize the open space in your dining room throughout the
year, but fill the space with adequate table space and seating when guests are
over.
Choose chairs that match the color of your dining room
table. Wood, oak and leather chairs often work best. Bar stools also work if
you have a taller table or a countertop in your dining room that faces the
kitchen. The idea is to keep your guests at eye level when they are having a
conversation.
Once you have the table and chairs set in place, you can
fill out your dining room with a number of accessories. These include benches,
cabinets, chests, servers and hutches. Make sure these accessories match the
color and style of your table, chairs and walls. You can continue to decorate
with matching tablecloths and centerpieces like flowers, candles, sculptures
and glassware. You can also find a chandelier to hang over the table that
matches the aesthetics of the room.
