Stylish Ideas for Creating a Unique Dining Room
When furnishing a house, we tend to leave the dining room until the very end. After all, it’s an easy decorating project considering how it only requires two pieces of furniture – a dining room table and chairs. But aren’t you tired of seeing this kind of standard dining room scheme? Don’t you just want to rebel a little in a unique but tasteful way? Then this is just the guide for you. Here are some ways you can bring some refreshing variety into your dining room.
Bring in a Bench
Sometimes the simple addition of a bench can be just what your dining room needs to be instantly uplifted. A bench can be integrated into any dining room scheme, but in order to make it work, you need to pick one that matches the space of the room. For instance, if your dining room calls for a traditional or Scandinavian bench wood is a great choice. What’s more, if you want a durable bench wood like oak and walnut can withstand the wear with grace.
Besides being a great way to bring some variety into a dining room, benches are also an efficient solution where space is considered a premium. If you have no room for as many chairs as you want to, a single bench is much easier to squeeze in next to a wall. It takes up less space than chairs do, and it can still accommodate several people. Plus, purchasing a single bench usually costs less than it would to buy several chairs.
Mismatched Chairs
Mismatched chairs are a thousand times more interesting than a standard matched set. There are two ways you can achieve a mismatched effect. For one, you can pick the same type of chairs but painted in different colours. Of course, the colours should work together in harmony, so make sure to check how to combine them.
However, if you’re not a fan of a colourful dining room look, you can achieve a more diverse feel with chairs in the same colour that have a different design. This is a beautiful combination that reminds of bridesmaids dresses – each chair belongs to a group but is unique enough. When combining chairs like that, it’s important to choose the same materials and never mix wood with plastic.
Pops of Colour
It’s not just the furniture that defines a space, sometimes the accessories can have more influence than you think. For instance, colourful and fuzzy pillows can bring more interest to a bench while also making it a lot more comfy to sit on. And just like in any other room, vibrant wall prints, paintings, or pictures can give the space another dimension and make it more personal. There’s also the floors to think about, which you can make more attractive with the addition of a stylish rug. Just dare to be bold, and you’ll see how easy it is to turn a dining room completely around.
