Face-lift your dining room post covid-19
With so many dining rooms being transformed into part of the living room or kitchen these days, dining room designs have kind of fallen by the wayside. But if you’re one of those lucky homeowners to have hung on to a formal dining space, you’ve got an opportunity to make some optimum modern updates. Here are 7 affordable ways to change the face of your dining space:
#1 Spark things up with paint.
Are your dining room wall's still the same color they were when you moved into your house ages ago? If so, there’s a good chance the color’s a little beyond its days. It may also be demeaning to your furniture and the updates you’ve made in adjacent rooms as well. Refresh the walls with a paint shade that makes you feel relaxed and cozy. The room should reflect that feeling.
#2 Update the lighting.
Are old chandeliers and lamps gathering dust in your dining room? Consider sending them packing and installing some recycled lighting and pendants in their place. Pendant lights, come in a wide range of styles and colors that are sure to add some new vibes to your space.
#3 Repurpose another room.
If your dining room is placed in an undefined space — a cramped corner of the house away from the kitchen, for example — pick a new place for your dining table. Put them in the kitchen, if you have space. Or, place the dining table somewhere right in your living room, where there’s easy access to the entertainment. You should always feel relaxed during a meal, and being confined to an area you don’t enjoy doesn’t give to that feeling.
#4 Add some aesthetic appeal.
Visual appeal doesn’t stop at just paint and lighting. It’s also important to consider how the wall decor may increase the appeal and comfort of the room. Blank walls may make it easy to focus and concentrate on your meals, but your guests will surely enjoy looking at something a little more eye-catching. Depending on your budget and the size of your dining room, consider hanging potted plants and vibrant pieces of art. Just be sure to balance wall decor with other elements in the room so your space doesn’t feel like it’s cluttered with stuff.
#5 Throw in a rug.
One of the worst sounds to hear is a chair scraping against the floor as you go to get up from the dining table. To fix the issue, add a rug or a carpet underneath the table and chairs to make things soft and cozy. Pick a rug that isn’t too thick with fibers. Otherwise, your chairs can get stuck and twisted. Of course, you’ll also want to make sure that the style and color of your rug complement the rest of the space.
#6 Use dividers.
Many newer homes combine kitchen and dining spaces. If you want to create a dedicated dining space, think about incorporating a room divider. It’s much cheaper than erecting a wall — and you can add ledges, plants, or a sliding door to further divide the two spaces. Plus, the flexibility of the divider allows reverting to the bigger space any time you like.
#7 Build in.
How’s your dining room planned? Do you have a table that sits in the middle with four chairs surrounding it? If you want to make the room more user-friendly — and create more storage in the process — think about ditching the bulky furniture and opting instead for built-ins like bench seating, china cabinets, and buffets. A pro can create custom built-ins to suit any style.
