interior design and decorating

If your dining room gives off a dull and boring feel, it might be time to change the room’s style. You can do plenty of things to bring more life to the dining room, tie the room together and make it more stylish. These are great tips that will help you style any dining room.

1.The dining room should have an area rug that pulls all the colors together. Your table and chairs should be able to fit on the area rug. There should be space between the rug and walls, so your area rug shouldn’t be too big.

As a rule, you should probably measure the perimeter of the table and then add about four feet in each direction for your rug. If you are going for a totally new look go for something different with your rug and redecorate the room based on the new rug.

2. Include a centerpiece on your dining room table. Using a flower arrangement will add some color to the room. You can add light to the room with candles, while using a glass bowl or vase filled with fruit will add an earthy atmosphere to the room. When it comes to your centerpieces get creative. Depending on the season, or just your mood, you should change the centerpiece.

3. A new piece of artwork or set of shelves can add style to the room. Look around the walls to check if you have nothing on the walls. You can go with one large piece of artwork or multiple smaller pieces of artwork that you can hang on the walls that are tied together. You can also choose to decorate your walls with pictures, candles and other items if you hang on or two shelves on the wall.

4. Add style to the room with the dining room table. China sets, along with a placemat or stylish tablecloth set out on the table, will add a finished look to the room. It helps to make the room feel inviting instead of cold and uninviting to guests.

Changing things up a bit is as easy as changing the place settings on the table, that way you can keep your main setting without having to grow tired of your table’s look.

5. Go with a new light fixture to further add new style to the room. Add new lighting to the room with chandeliers above the table or tall standing lights in the corners of the room. The style of the room and the chandelier should fit together. You can give the room the right amount of light by simply adjusting the height of the chandelier.

There are other ways to add style to your dining room, these are just some of the many choices. When it comes to your dining room be creative, think about what you want and make just make it happen.

Celebrities are undeniable fashion and style icons, and this spills over into interior design as well. In actual fact, a survey was recently done by the Better Home Exhibition that revealed celebrities were among the top sources of inspiration for people updating their own homes. In reality of course, most celebrities employ professional designers to consult on the hottest trends and rarely do the work themselves.

An interior designer to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars has told one newspaper that people wanting to create an impressive room can structure their design around a centerpiece, such as a piece of white  bedroom furniture. Usually this is quite a large piece such as big white wardrobes, and it can afford to be as it is a neutral colour. The same cannot be said for other colours in the spectrum, which, when used on a grand scale tend to dominate a room and leave very little room for maneuver in terms of colour.

Kelly Wearstler told the Daily Mail that a big, bold centrepiece can provide inspiration and ideas for the rest of a room’s design, such as the bedside table or curtain design, and said that she loves the use of white and black to create contrast.  She is not the only one to adopt the contrasting of black and white in design as many professionals in New York have been using this in client’s homes for years.

She reportedly stated “the universal qualities of black and white make them my two favorite colours to use. It’s the textures and materials that make it interesting.” She noted that a number of her clients have been amazed at just how much more they got from a once ‘nothing’ room, just by using simple contrasting black and whites.

Lastly the designer said that combining black and white with other colors gives a crisp look and makes a room feel organised. “It’s not a simple thing to get right, but if you’re strict with the colors you use, you can pull off a very sleek look”.
