Smart Tips for increasing the space of a Small Dining Room
- Hits: 13054
If you got a small dinning room and looking for some ideas to make it seem larger, you'll undoubtedly have to make some compromises in your decorating, get really organized, and make some adjustments to your lifestyle in order to live efficiently.
With color, strategic furniture buying, space planning and interesting lighting, your place will show comfort with all the space you need. Small is beautiful, easy, and practical, too.
You can easily turn a small dining room into a focal point of your house with tips and tricks. Simple style and design elements will make the room look larger, help the free-flow of traffic and make your dining room a space you want to be in.
Keep the palette light and limited; use contrasting color as an accent in order to bring specific elements in focus.
Use a modest chandelier; it will make the table seem larger.
Mirrors increase the perception of space; use them on at least two walls.
Choose a round table. The perimeter of the room will seem larger. Plus, you can always squeeze in an extra place setting, especially if the table has a pedestal base.
When quarters are tight, opt for extra comfort. While most banquettes provide seat cushions, this space takes comfort to the next level by boasting back cushions mounted to the wall. Drawers in the base of the banquette provide extra storage space while the three-sided wrap-around bench provides plentiful seating. The nook sits right inside the back door, and a slim white bench tucks in close to the table and doesn't jut out into the adjacent walkway.
