In many ways, the dining room is the heart of the home - a space where we nourish ourselves, share company, eat good meals, and have great conversations. All of which can be tricky, which is why we put together this complete guide that is right for you.

CHOOSING A PERFECT SET OF DINING CHAIRS
Of course, ‘perfect’ here means a few different things: comfort is key, as is getting dining chairs that add visual style and panache to the home, to create an inviting space for family and friends. If you’re going for an airy, lighter space, simple wooden chairs with clean lines and open backs might suit, and this would also work beautifully for rooms that are smaller.
On the other hand, if you plan to use your dining room for socialising, or even to work, then upholstered chairs may be more comfortable to sit in for longer periods of time.

TIP:
Don’t be afraid to mix and match for a more eclectic approach. The table will serve as an anchor for your space anyway, so start from there and work outwards.
CENTREPIECES TO WOW YOUR GUESTS
A Bowl with Seasonal Fruits for Functional Decor
A great way to combine style and function is to use a bowl with seasonal fruits. Not only does it add a burst of color, but it also provides a healthy snack option for your guests.
TIP:
Choose fruits that are in season for the best quality and appearance. Arrange them in a decorative bowl and add a few springs of herbs like mint or rosemary for extra flair.
EMBRACE ORGANIC VIBES WITH A WOVEN TRAY CENTERPIECE
A woven tray can be the base for a beautiful, organic centerpiece. Fill it with a mix of elements like small vases, candles, and greenery to create a cohesive and natural look.
VASES WITH FRESH FLOWERS STEMS
An eye-catching vase can serve as a beautiful and simplistic centerpiece. Whether it’s a bold, colorful vase or a more understated, elegant one, the key is to choose a piece that stands out and complements your dining table. Fill the vase with fresh flowers, a dried bouquet, or leave it empty as a statement piece.
Vases come in a wide range of designs, hues, materials, and textures, and when added to a dining table, they instantly uplift it. Styling vases is a fun and creative way to add personality and visual interest to your decor. With a little creativity and attention to detail, you can create beautiful vase arrangements that will enhance the beauty of your dining space.
LAYER WITH PLACEMATS
Placemats not only protect your table but also add an extra layer of style. Choose placemats that complement your dinnerware and overall theme. They can be woven, fabric, or even playful shapes to add a fun element.

Now, it’s time to set the table. Use a large dinner plate as the base, and add a smaller plate on top for appetizers or desserts. This layered look is not only functional but also visually appealing.
ENJOY THE TRANSFORMATION
