Set the stage for a memorable upcoming season of soirees and family get togethers with our top tips and favourite finds for your dining room.
The dining room is the space where family and friends gather, so naturally it should be the room where your signature style sines through.
Changing your table decor is an easy and inexpensive way to give your dining space a quick makeover. Whether it's changing vases, getting a new array of fresh flowers or finding visually interesting pieces such as lanterns, table linens or candlesticks to showcase, decorating your dining room space will create a cosy place for gatherings. Here are 5 easy decorating ideas to make it happen in no time.
1. Silver and glass always looks impressive. Use candlesticks, hurricanes or candleabras to add glamour.
2. Fresh is best. Use fresh flowers that contrast with table linens for a simple yet striking centrepiece. For a more subtle and elegant look, use blooms in a softer shade of the colour palette your using.
3. Table linen is your friend. Use a tablecloth with a pattern or stripe for a fresh preppy look, or opt for plain linens if using bright napery. For something different try using table runners horizontally across the table to act like placemats for placesettings across from each other.
4. Place fruit in a large bowl or vessel to add colour, shape and texture.
5. If your are running short on time, a bunch of faux florals can look the real deal in a beautiful vase, champagne or wine bucket.
