Too often are dining rooms neglected and left to formal occasions and holidays. Start using your dining room by enhancing its look and feel with a brand new luxury table from La Maison. Choose from contemporary tables topped in marble to intimate round tables fit for smaller spaces—no matter your taste. Designing your home is all about your taste and personality so let it shine and demand a great first time impression with all the right luxury furniture at La Maison Interiors.
If you decide to keep with a more formal aesthetic make an impression at your next dinner party with two host and hostess chairs at either end of the dining room table. Choose a statement piece for a bold impression. Ensure the chairs compliment the overall design, as you want them to be visually engaging, but not an eyesore. This year, drama and glamour are in. Mirrored table tops or an oversized mirrors effortlessly leaning against the wall in the dining room can make a room feel larger for an opulent atmosphere.
If you are working a smaller space, round tables work best in square rooms for an intimate ambiance, and most people prefer a round table—as its better for conversation. With no formal “head” of the table there is a constant flow of energy around the table. Always pair a square rug with a round table to balance the space. When placing a rug on the floor, make sure the rug is a minimum of 22’ beyond the edge of the table to guarantee chairs will not move off the rug when moved away from the table.
The dining room is a place to spend time with friends and family, eat long meals and carry on conversation. Choosing the right table is very important and will dictate the overall mood of the room. Implement a marble, glass or quartzite tabletop for a more contemporary look or stick with a wood-hewn tabletop for a rustic and relaxed vibe. Benches are making a comeback in the formal dining room, as communal seating is more popular in luxury dining rooms now, more than ever. This keeps the space from feeling too formal as tall and ornate dining room chairs crowd the space. If you need additional seating opt for a table that comes with self-storing leaves so you always have the option to lengthen the table if need be for easy storage and less occupied space in your closet.
Always remember to implement the ideas you love in your home. Design is all about your personality and how you want to successfully create an extension of your taste in living color at home. Stick with a neutral base this year because you can continue to accent with different colors, patterns and textures when you feel you’ve grown tired of a certain look. Dining rooms have the possibility to change more often than other rooms as accessorizing with lighting, different chairs, seating arrangements and even a different finish on the tabletop can add an entirely different aesthetic with a few simple changes.
