Tips To Furnish A Small Dining Room

Your dining room is a place where you enjoy get-togethers and invite your friends over lunch or dinner. In order to ensure that you set the right impression on your guests, here are a few tips that can help you furnish a small dining room:

• Table: Your dining room is incomplete without a good quality dining table. They come in different shapes, sizes and designs. You can place either a pedestal, round or square dining table in your room. A round table looks good inside a small dining room and it helps distribute the space proportionately. If you have a narrow dining room, a rectangular table will leave some space for people to walk and move around without any obstruction.

• Matching chairs: Dining chairs, when matched with dining table, color, walls and the interiors of your room, can make for a great combination. Armless chairs are a better option for a smaller dining room as they do not acquire much room space.

• Transparent furniture: The idea is to make your small dining room look bigger.  Furniture made up of glass or acrylic does not completely cover and block your view of the floor or walls. It will also give you more ‘visual space’ and make the room look spacious, fresh and beautiful.

• Right mix of colors: Your dining hall should look warm and welcoming. The color on the walls of the room should match with the furniture placed in there. Usually neutral and light colors in the dining hall make it look airy and spacious.

• Placing mirrors: Placing mirrors in a small room opens space for light and makes it look bigger than it actually is. Mirrors help to increase one’s perception of space.

• Keep it simple: If you have excess furniture in your small room, try to disperse it and shift to some other place. It congests the visual view and makes the room look smaller besides reducing walking space. Place as less furniture as possible in your dining room.

• Use chandelier: Putting up a chandelier right above the table will not only add to the aesthetics of your dining room but also make the entire space appear larger.

• Sliding Pocket Door: A sliding pocket door does not take up any extra space and it is easy to use. It looks good and you can use it to hide your kitchen too.
