Odds are you’ll want to establish the dining table as the focal point of the room. It can feel empty with the table alone, however, so add a rug for color and texture. Make sure it is at least 24 inches wider than the table on each side to allow room for the chairs to easily slide out without going over the edge of the rug. In addition to grounding the space, having a rug in the dining room will infuse it with a sense of warmth and comfort, especially if you have wood flooring. The extra padding also will make guests more comfortable, and the rug can act as a stain barrier in the event of accidental spills.

Using two or more light or track lighting in your dining room will not only create a beautiful visual effect over the table, but also ensure that light spreads evenly throughout the room (as opposed to casting light from a single source). This look also functions particularly well when paired with recessed lighting to illuminate the corners. When purchasing lighting for your dining room, choose two or three matching fixtures that can be spaced evenly over the length of the table. Look for fixtures that come equipped (or can be used) with dimmers so that you can set a sense of ambiance, whether you’re hosting a romantic dinner or just finishing up homework.

Since the table is arguably the most important piece of furniture in the space, it can be tempting to choose something that will make a statement. But rather than choosing an ornate design, we recommend keeping the table neutral so that it will remain timeless despite passing trends. When choosing your dining table, it’s important to focus on the quality of construction. Consider using natural materials — such as wood, glass or even stone — that will give you the flexibility to change up the design of the rest of the room in the future.

Since your dining room holds so many special memories, it deserves an equally special design. Fortunately, we have some dining room ideas to help you create the best space possible.
