Dining Room Design And Iron Dining Table Dcor A Guide

By:


September/October is the most popular time of year for a dining room re-vamps. Although you make not like to admit it, youre probably already thinking about Christmas, hosting the biggest meal of the year, lots of entertaining and receiving your fair share of friends and relatives. And what youll need is a fabulous dining room thatll enhance the occasion!

There are 5 types of dining space you could have in your home, which will determine styling. For example, if you have a kitchen/diner then a formal arrangement will not necessarily suit the rest of the room. Or, you may be lucky enough to have a separate formal dining room and a conservatory; each room must serve its own purpose. You may wish to use the conservatory for relaxed family dining and the formal area especially to entertain guests.

So, this article is broken down into 5 diner types. Weve chosen the versatile iron dining table to illustrate new dining room styles as it can be suited to all 5 spaces and can fit in with a variety of dcor themes.

Harmonious - Lounge/Diner

A dining room off the lounge must tie in and flow-through, normally achieved with matching walls and floor coverings. Furniture must be in keeping with your existing lounge, in other words, dont try to go shabby chic if you have a modern, minimalistic lounge. Instead choose a contemporary iron dining table with sleek, clean lines and a glass top. Lounge/diners are the most difficult to decorate, get it wrong and youve compromised your main living room too. You must find the perfect balance that maintains the flow and also makes the rooms appear separate. For instance, its better not to match colours identically but use complementary colours instead. If the colour scheme in your lounge is based around neutral olive green, perhaps go for dark red accents in your dining room.

Light & Airy - Conservatory Dining Room

Styling a conservatory is all about bringing the outdoors inside. Youll have fantastic natural light and will overlook your garden. Choose a traditional style iron dining table for vintage, afternoon teas, with an antique lace table cloth and pretty table ware. Or, go for nature-inspired look. As wrought iron is a natural looking material, itll look great surrounded by huge house plants and rattan or wicker accessories.

Versatile - Kitchen/Diner

Kitchen/diners tend to offer the smallest amount of space so it makes sense to have a smaller table. A bistro style iron dining table and chairs will tie it in with most kitchens; sets can be contemporary or antique. It can be relaxed and friendly for breakfast time but then quickly styled up for an intimate, romantic dinner for two.

Formal - Separate Dining Room

When styling your separate dining space, youve got a blank canvass to work with. First consider how youll use it; generally this room would be reserved for formal dining but if this isnt your style, you can easily make the room more relaxed so it serves multiple purposes. A formal iron dining table is the height of elegance; use plenty of candles for soft lighting, a crisp white table cloth and introduce hints of colour with a feature vase, wall art and table ware. You should also base choices around the existing features in the room. If you have a fireplace or beamed ceiling; work with this. Perhaps create a more dramatic space, an iron dining table with wrought iron wall sconces and candelabras and a rich colour scheme.

Inspiring - Al Fresco Dining Area

If you dine outside often, the chances are youve got a covered area or perhaps a 2nd home in Spain. Obviously, when decorating this space, youll try to match the rest of the gardens theme, whether thats country cottage or contemporary. A traditional curved design wrought iron dining table will look great in an elegant English country garden or a metal dining table with a glass top in a simple design will complement a minimalistic patio.

Finally

To conclude, here are 3 dining room styling tips, applicable to every interior design. Bear these points in mind and you cant go wrong!

1.The dining table should be the focal point of the room it ought to be in a central position, then make it stand out by putting a rug that contrasts with the flooring underneath.

2.Every dining room needs a talking point, something for your guests to look at or talk about while you're busy in the kitchen. Perhaps invest in an unusual print or an ornate chandelier, or a collection of family photos with do the job just as well.

3.Create a formal space with a rectangular table, high backed chairs and a cohesive arrangement. The opposite applies for a more relaxed space, a round table with low-backed chairs.
