Dress Up Walls

Dressing up the dining room walls is the basic step to make it more attractive and there is a bundle of options to decorate it.

Consider Lighting

You have probably watched fancy and expensive lights and chandeliers in dining halls at different places. Purchasing expensive lights might be sometimes going out of the budget, so you don’t need to buy expensive pendants for your dining room. What you need to do is to choose something different and unique and you can also create sometimes extraordinary at home as well which shows the sense of your style.

You need to use one pendant in the center of the table if it is of 4 or 6 people but if it is of 8 or 10 person table then better install three small pendants in a row above the table. Light is the key to create the ambiance just like you want. You can make the ambiance romantic, elegant or antique with the techniques of lighting. However, don’t just rely on table light only but to consider the whole place lighting so no other place would get dark after using one light. LED strips and bulbs can also be used under the floating shelves or in the showcase of the dining room.

Dining Table Accessories

Don’t put too many things on to the dinning just because you have the big table and you put all the unnecessary stuff on it, don’t overcrowd it. Use the matching table runner or it might be of opposite color. A fancy tray can be used and add smaller accessories like a flower pot, metal ball, blue pottery or any other decoration piece. Candles are one of the main objects for dining tables. You can use fancy candle stands and decorate some bottles with string and place them in the center of the table along with scented candles.
While serving, roll the napkins in a different style so it gives the formal look to your dining table. You can also make the chairs cozy by fixing fur on to the chairs and in the center of the table as well.
