Dining Room Redesign Ideas

Whenever you set aside some modest funds for a remodel, the bathroom, kitchen and living room are usually at the very top of the priorities list. Needless to say, this is only logical, seeing as how these rooms A) benefit the most from a remodel, B) add the most to the resale value of the place and C) are the rooms where you spend the most of your day. Still, for those who wish to make the remodel as thorough and as holistic as possible, the dining room is probably the next item on the list. With this in mind and without further ado, here are several dining room ideas you might want to consider.

Start from the dinnerware

Unlike with the rest of your home, where you need to invest in expensive construction upgrades or purchase new appliances, you can give your dining room a facelift by just getting new dinnerware. This, however, needs to be done after you decide on the style of the room. For instance, gray, square dinnerware is ideal for both a contemporary and industrial look, while those willing to go with vintage, might look for a more rustic option. As for those a bit more conservative who loathe the idea of changing too much, white textured dinnerware might be the right choice, seeing as how it introduces a positive change, without having an overwhelming influence on the room.

Custom-made dining table

One of the problems with finding the right dining table for your home lies in the fact that most of them are, more or less, the same. This means that they are either too small or too big for your dining room; too small or too big for your family. Therefore, the safest choice might be to go with a custom-made dining table that suits both you and your home in every way possible. Some companies like Fancy Homes, specialize in customization of your furniture. This means that you could, at the same time, order a set of chairs to go along with the table, as long as your budget allows it.

Find the right chairs

Now, we come to one of the most interesting parts of the remodeling, getting the right chairs. As we suggested in the previous paragraph, those who can afford such a commodity could order chairs and the table at the same time and, in this way, ensure that they are a part of the same homogenous unit. On the other hand, if this is not the case, you can hunt for the appropriate chairs online, in your local furniture salons or even garage sales nearby. You would be surprised just how many useful items you can find this way.

Pleasant dining atmosphere

Finally, you need to focus on creating a pleasant eating atmosphere. You should start by choosing the right hues for the walls and, here, it is advised to look a bit closer into the psychology of colors. You see, some colors influence appetite and you can use this knowledge to your benefit. For instance, gray, black and brown tend to diminish it, while yellow, red, orange and green tend to make you want to eat more. With this mind, it is up to you to set the palette that suits your dietary habits the most. Aside from this, you need to provide enough light, with the option to dim it according to need, and even throw a pot plant or two into the mix, just for the ambiance.

At the end of the day, there are so many great dining room ideas for you to explore, while the above-listed four cover most of the basic work. Once you’re done dealing with them, you will have enough time to choose whether to add an area rug beneath the table and the seating, as well as to decide what to do with the wall accessories. Overall, once you get to these two decisions, your work will be nearly done.
