From Furniture to Lighting, Here is Your Dining Room Inspiration
With Thanksgiving and the holiday hosting season right around the corner, menus and guest lists are at top of mind. Follow this no-fail recipe to create the perfect dining room that serves everyone and guarantees compliments to the chef.
From tables for two to 10, there are options for dining spaces and gatherings of every size. Round, oval, square, and rectangular tables in styles from farmhouse to modern invite everyone to sit and stay awhile. (Can't decide? Our dining table size guide can help.)
Make sure everyone has the best seat in the house. Consider a dining set—a matching suite of chairs and table. Mix things up or add additional seating with individual dining chairs or a versatile bench.
Don't forget the mood lighting. Chandeliers, pendants, flush mounts, even floor lamps or sconces—all practical pieces that provide light but also the simplest ways to create instant ambiance. (Bonus points for a dimmer switch.) Light a few candles for extra sparkle.
The right rug adds a layer of color and texture and creates a cozy, grounded space. A buffet or china cabinet provides storage and style. Wall art and accessories add personality and interest.
Create a tablescape that's the center of attention. Try fall florals, evergreen branches or garlands, or a seasonal centerpiece.
Mix well and enjoy!
