Different ways to create a distinct dining room

A dining room is not only a space where meals are served but it is a place for endless conversations and making treasured memories. As they say, a family that eats together, stays together, the dining area is where we foster the bonds with our loved ones. So, the dining area must be given more efforts and attention while designing. Here are a few stunning tips to make an aesthetic and inviting dining area.

The right furniture

When beginning the design process, the functionality of the space should be kept in mind. As per that, selecting the right furniture is very important. The dining table is the heart of the dining room so the right size, form, and material should be picked. If there is space constraint, one must go for a round table to create an intimate ambience. Else, rectangular tables suit every family size and gatherings. The material also can enhance the overall design style of the space and the entire interior theme. Once the dining is finalized, choose the right cupboard for holding the cutlery. Also, the chair one invests in should be comfortable, cozy and chic because the area can be used not only for casual family gatherings but also as a formal dining room, entertainment space, lounge or even library.

Lighting is Key

Lighting also plays a crucial role in enhancing the ambience of a space. The perfect lighting can create a mood and emotion also. The right pendant light above the dining table not only looks beautiful but it can be the design statement. The space can be layered with a mix of pendant lights, cluster lights, overhead lights. Also, dimmer switches can also be included for adjusting the lighting for different occasions.

 Color and Pattern

The color scheme of the dining room should also be given due consideration. Since the dining room is an integral space in a house for socializing and bonding, it must be given some character with a striking wall paint or a bold wallpaper. Art, artefacts, murals, elements of nature like planters, etc. can add freshness to the space and inject some colors to liven the atmosphere. 

Materiality

Using different materials and textures like wood, metal, glass etc. can help add warmth to the dining room. The décor, art, any statement Centre piece, candle stands, upholsteries like rugs, accessories reflecting your personal style can add visual aesthetic and comfort to the space making it suitable for gatherings and get-togethers.

 Personal Touches

Personalized accessories like family heirlooms, artwork and decor pieces can enhance your dining room’s interiors. One can incorporate personal touches reflecting their unique style and interests. Whether its a heirloom converted into a cupboard or a bar or semi-precious stones added on furniture to give more detail, the personalized elements add depth making an intimate atmosphere.

 To intensify the aesthetic and ambience of the space, establish a sense of focal point by adding a standout feature such as a chandelier or a feature wall. Decorative accents like beautiful table linens, tableware, curtains, or plush rugs also add an oomph to the place.
