[H1007]How To Decorate Dining Room
by Tuchchai Suwanawong, Tuc

Dining room is one of the important rooms that require good design and decoration in order to build good atmosphere during the meal. We can see the important of design and decoration by notice from many good restaurant use design and decoration to attract people to come in, apart from quality and taste of the food they offer.

Now we will start to improve dining room atmosphere by using colours. You should you light tone colour with your dining room or colour that has more brightness to make your dining room looks wider, clear and clean. The colour that you should use is white, light yellow, light orange, light brown. For small dining room, you can also use mirror to decorate to make the room looks wider and clear.

Let's move to the floor, ca we change anything to the floor to make the room more attractive? Firstly, you should consider that which style that you want the room to look like as well as furniture that you are going to use. If you plan to use wooden furniture, so you should use parquet for floor covering or if you wish to decorate the room in European style, you should use ceramic tiles or mosaic for floor covering instead.

After you consider about major factors, then you should consider about lighting. Installing one light tube in the middle of the room on the ceiling will make the room brighter so people can see the food clearly and feeling want to eat. On the other hand, using dark light tube probably make people do not want to eat as they can not see the food clearly. However, you should also consider about the reflection of the light that may reflect directly to the face of people who are sitting. You should be careful to not let this happened, which will make people feel uncomfortable during the meal.

You should use dining table that large enough to put all of the food, but not too large which will generate uncomfortable atmosphere and not convenient to walk. Apart form size, you should consider about the material that dining table made from. If you have little children in your family, you should buy wooden dining table in stead of using glass table or metal table, because glass will be very harmful to children when broken and metal surface is more slippery, so it will be very easy to fall or collapse

Table coversheet also important, you should use table cover sheet that made from the material that easy to clean such as polymer, avoid using cotton sheet that difficult to clean. You may interested to add flower vessel or fruit basket on the table to increase freshness during the meal.

Another good way to create good and fresh atmosphere is you should locate dining room near the garden. You can use glass partition to separate your dining room and garden area. In case you do not have garden in your house, you may decorate you dining room by add flower or plant pots into the room.


Refurbishing your dining room can be a unique task that not too many people consider on undertaking. But it doesn't always have to be looked at as a task; think of it as a makeover for your dining room. Like redecorating your living room, I can tell you that refurbishing your dining room and adding that contemporary flair is going to be a lot more affordable than buying a new lot. Think of it this way: redecorating your dining nook will make your home look fresher and newer, and most of the time all it takes is just investing in some new dining room furniture.

Usually evoking a sense of togetherness, warmth and heartiness, dining room furniture isn't something that you usually just purchase, use for five years and then throw out. With that said, you should invest in something that has a contemporary edge but will last for at least ten years. So, let's start with the most obvious piece of dining room furniture, the dining table.

Really quite versatile, dining tables come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, finishes, and even heights. Since we're looking to give your dining room a contemporary element of style, I suggest sticking with dark finished wooden dining tables and dining chairs. If you remember in my previous installment, How to Contemporize Your Living Room, I mentioned that dark wood can be a tricky but sophisticated style to work with because it might darken the room too much. I still hold true to what I said earlier and in fact, you have my blessing if you decide to go with a darker finished dining table and matching chairs. My reason is because the only essentials you truly need in any dining room are just the dining table and chairs. If you are adding extra case goods such as a buffet and hutch or perhaps even a server, try not to go overboard with the same dark finish.

Speaking of dining room case goods, it may not be a bad idea to invest in something like a buffet or server, but only if space permits. Most traditional dining rooms, and perhaps even your parents' dining room, may include a traditionally styled china display hutch. While these pieces of furniture are beautifully designed and do serve a purpose, they really do take up a lot of room. A server takes up less space, usually has enough room to keep your dishes and silverware and can serve as the right-hand man when you have large dinner parties - it is a server after all.

Creating a contemporary atmosphere for your dining room can be an interesting, but fun challenge. But let me reiterate once more, just because it's contemporary doesn't necessarily mean it has to be minimal in style! Think of it this way, if you're planning on updating the look of your home, you want to give it a contemporary style - fresh, new, and sophisticated. Keep this in mind and you're sure to do a terrific job!
