Just about now you're trying to decide on a new look for your dining table area.With all the Spring festivities like holidays, barbecues and also birthdays, your table will be the center of attention.
Maybe your table needs a little accessorizing. Like jewelry, it's the little things that pull an 'outfit' together.
Where do you start? What can you add that doesn't 'break the bank' or require major overhaul?
Here's what interior designers do that you can do today to change out and create a beautiful dining area:
- First - take a photo of the dining area. It's a great way to see how the space looks so you can focus on the area in question. Is the table bare? Could you add some perky candlesticks and/or a centerpiece to add interest?
- Look at the area in the photo. Do you need a more interesting chandelier? Would a touch of glamour, a touch of sparkle or a hint of industrial chic create focus with a new chandelier?
- Add color! Use a bright color for placemats or a runner. Or add a pale shade for placemats in a color to contrast with the table top. It's contrast that makes a table interesting.
It's all about layering, adding contrasts, color and sometimes some whimsy. I know you can do it!
