The dining room isn’t just a spot for your holiday events! It should be a room you can gather in all year round for everything from dinner parties to everyday meals. We’re here to help you create the space of your dreams, with dining room decorating ideas, furniture picks, and more.

A few things are essential for a well-executed dining room. First (and most obvious), you need a dining set! You could go with a matching set or mix it up with a table and chairs of your choosing. Then you’ll want to layer in extras like accent cabinets that can store hosting essentials or extra dinnerware, or even bookshelves that can display conversation starters.  A chandelier makes for excellent dining room lighting and an area rug can tie the whole look together. (Though we might encourage you to consider washable rugs to save yourself a headache.)

Dining room design is also a great time to bring in a bit more fun. You could install a bold wallpaper like Jonathan and Zooey, or display thoughtful touches that’ll make any meal more special, like a pretty centerpiece or simple candelabra. We can even walk you through how to set a table for any gathering.

If space is tight, you can still squeeze a dining table in, too. There are great options for small-space dining tables that will allow you to carve out an area in a corner or other tricky layout. Let’s get that dining space decorated!
