Can you give mesome tips on Dining Room decoration?
http://www.betterhomesandgardens.com or http://www.betterhomes%26amp;gardens.com
Try them both to see which one gets you there.
White isn't a good color for a dining room.
A big boquet of flowers is pretty as a centerpiece, if moved before you all sit down to eat so you can see each other.
A beautiful chandalier isn't a bad idea, just so long as it's light is cast just on the food and on the faces of the guests and isn't too high or too low from the cieling.
Use rich colors for the dining room that spark conversation and appetite.
Such colors are reds, oranges and yellows. Anything around those colors. Rich, deep and bold colors and designs.
A mirror, very big or medium big also is nice to make it appear like more guests and food are in the dining room than really are and also reflects the lighting. Creates a great illusion.
A fireplace is nice in a dining room as well.
Pictures of food and tables and eateries or diners or cafes also are cute in a dining room, or just pictures of flowers and food.
Don't put pictures of people on the walls though cuz it'll give the feeling that you're being rudely stared at while you eat. :)
Have soft chairs without arms to sit on, (except at the head and foot of the table, these can have arms on the chairs), and have very minimal decoration. Keep the floor clear and clutter free, and no other distractions to take your focus from the food and the others eating with you. (i.e. TV's, radios, a gaucky picture, etc).
Big and luscious drapes are really neat in a dining room to put around or over the window(s).
Reply:You can Bistro style, Italian, it depends on your taste and mood. If you enjoy wine, put in a small wine cellar in one corner, pedestal with a large vase of grapes hanging out, on the dining room table you can add a couple of settings, just like you would see at a nice restaurant with a small/.medium glass votive vase with flowers, so you can see over from all ends. Also theres nothing wrong with a country but classy theme either, a little shabby chic for dainty person. You can use a chandelier any where if that's what you want depending on your taste again.
Reply:Personally I like bold colours in the diningroom. Red stimualtes the appetite and looks particularly good in a room that is only used occasionally. Could also use it as a feature wall.
White would be very sterile. But a chandelier over your table is a definite do. They come in many styles from very modern chrome and glass to traditional brass with shades.
Flower pots can be a nice accent if your style of decoration fits in with that earthy look.
Reply:flower pots might be good with some decor and not with others, white is just stark, red increases appetite, gold is bright and formal, ivory is formal and warmer than white, blue is cool and can be formal or informal really, chandeliers are nice but not always room for them. there are tons of magazines and lots of sites im sure with photos, try the furniture companies in a web search, you might find some really good things there, and better homes and garden network and discovery home network. good luck
