Hello World! Welcome Friends! In 2023, home decor seems to be focused on 2 rooms in the home: the living room and the kitchen. While the reasoning may not seem obvious, it is because with modern designs and open plans to many homes, a lot of the other associated rooms that a home has or had, like a dining room, has seemingly vanished. What does this mean for decor? Well, if you have a dining room, chances are, you may be a bit stuck on how to decorate it!
So, if you’re looking for a simple way to makeover your dining room without breaking the bank, there are plenty of affordable options to add a touch of class to the space. This article explores 5 simple ideas to get you started. Enjoy!
1. A Statement Light Fixture
In a larger dining room, a dramatic light fixture can automatically elevate the look and feel of the space. Look for a fixture with interesting lines or a unique shape to make a statement. You can find affordable options at home decor stores or online retailers. If you are looking for a more modern-themed piece, why not try one that is made of glass? Or alternatively, if you want a more classical look, a light fixture that is made of metal can definitely do the trick without breaking the bank.
2. Artwork
Adding some artwork to your dining room walls can bring color and personality to the space. Look for art pieces that complement your existing decor or add a pop of contrast. You can find affordable prints or even create your own DIY artwork to save money. If you want to help aspiring artists, you can find some great pieces for sale on websites like Etsy. However, if you really want to ensure that it works with your space and ties it all together, you might be better seeking out some of the exceptionally talented interior designers in Mayfair, Paris, or Beverly Hills for inspiration, as their portfolios will show you what kind of artwork is in Vogue. Plus, they will be able to position them perfectly around the dining room.
3. Fresh Flowers
Nothing adds life and freshness to a room like a vase of beautiful flowers. Look for seasonal blooms, or choose a color scheme that complements your decor. You can find affordable flowers at your local grocery store or farmer’s market. Or interestingly, there are now some websites that offer floral subscriptions, meaning that once a week or once every 2 weeks, you will receive a hand-picked bouquet delivered straight to your door. This has the advantage of being more in theme with current florals, as these options usually use the flowers that are available in each season, adding a touch of seasonal beauty to the space.
4. Table Linens
A beautiful tablecloth or set of placemats can instantly make your dining room feel more elegant. Look for options with interesting textures or patterns to add visual interest. You can find affordable linens at home decor stores or online retailers. Of course, it is worth noting that you will have to clean the tablecloth at some point, so don’t aim for one that is made from an unwashable or dry-clean fabric if you are looking to save money.
5. Decorative Accents
Adding a few decorative accents to your dining room can give it a polished and finished look. Look for items like candlesticks, vases, or decorative bowls that complement your existing decor. Depending on the look you are going for, you can either match them all based on color or material or have a veritable mix-and-match, which will give a more modern look.
