Since we moved into our new home in February, we have been navigating different ways we can spruce up the spaces that aren’t on the top of our priority list with renovations. One of those is certainly our dining room.
Dining rooms can quickly become outdated, especially when we eat the majority of our meals at the kitchen table. This space can be easily overlooked when renovating. Luckily, you do not need a huge budget to update and add some changes to the dining room. Below are three easy ways to spruce up a dining room and have your guests enjoy their time being entertained in this space when they come to visit.
Add an accent wall in
Whether you decide on painting a wall a bold new colour, or opt for some wallpaper, adding an accent wall will instantly refresh the dining room. Plus, both paint and wallpaper are quite affordable, and application is easy to complete. This is a simple way to create a focal point without undertaking major renovations to do the job.
The colour in this room feels quite cold in comparison to our individual styles so this space will have some colour soon, we’re thinking of wallpaper one wall to really brighten it up. I’ve been looking for accent wallpaper that includes some geometric shapes. Accent walls are a great way of playing with creating gallery walls using family photos too.
Consider statement lighting
The simplest way to spruce up your dining room on a budget is to trade out your basic light fixture for a statement lighting feature. From large pendants to unique chandeliers, there’s no wrong aesthetic. We recently bought a lampshade from the closing down sale at Debenhams, it fits into our style and what we’d like to create in the dining room perfectly well.
Our table in the middle of the dining room makes a huge statement so we wanted to incorporate this with the lighting. We also have a lamp in this room that helps to build warmth in the room.
Don’t forget accessories
Accessorizing a room makes all the difference and is the icing on the cake when it comes to transforming a room on a budget. There’s absolutely no need to go crazy, since the goal is still to update your dining room on a budget, but adding a few finishing touches goes a long way.
We’ve added a few plants, a couple of bookshelves, some prints and candles. I feel like they’ve really helped to make our dining room feel comfortable and inviting. We also recently got some new dining chairs from Lakeland Furniture and I feel like they’ve really elevated the space. Our Dove Dining Chair’s in Light Grey Velvet has really changed the dining table. By adding a grey runner in the middle, along with our gold tray and small plant it has really supported the idea of making the dining table our centrepiece within this room. The chairs are incredibly comfortable too which is great when enjoying our mealtimes in the dining room.
