No matter how much money you have, you can get a formal theme in your dining room by altering simple things such as adding a wallpaper border and coordinating your tableware and serving dishes to incorporate some formality to the room. When comeing up with a new design you must contemplate lighting fixtures, floor coverings, wall color and decorative accessories along with your table and chair set and sideboard. Accessories are vital to pulling your formal look together. You can dramatically alter the style of your room just by replacing the accessories! Concentrate on selecting tableware, serving dishes and table cloths and runners, in colors and patterns that match your formal design theme. You'll be surprised at how simple and cheap it is, and what an incredible difference these changes make! Make sure to add in loads of antiques along with figurines and you can even try a few tea caddies, clocks and nick nacks to really spruce up your dining room. Incorporating additional touches such as alabaster or bronze statues can help setup your room with a professional decorator appeal. How you dress your windows are important to your formal look. For a great design in your dining room you might try having velvet drapery with sheer curtains or formal valance. There are a few window treatments that you can match up to this style, particularly if you match them to other elements in the room, but you want to avoid curtains that are too funky or cutesy. Flooring can make or break your decor, but if you can not buy new floors in your dining room then work with what you have by covering them with area rugs that have a formal look. If you do want to go with new floors, try using wall to wall carpet or hardwood floors. Lighting is critical in your home and the dining room is no exception. To compliment your formal decor, you should keep in mind the style of light fixtures and also the type. Most dining rooms can utilize a chandelier as well as accent lighting. While you are decorating with a formal look, you might want to think about having a brass or crystal chandelier with matching table lamps but Remember to stay away from anything that is overly fancy or too rustic looking. It's not necessary that you coordinate your table and chair set, sideboard, and hutch but the dining room should have lots of traditional upholstered items. To really enhance the formal style, try furnishings that have an antique look. A critical change to think about changing when decorating your dining room with a formal design style is what you put on the walls. For this style the colors are important - contemplate having blues and greens and golds either as wallpaper or paint. Try using a traditional wallpaper on the walls, or you might try paint with a chair rail or wallpaper border. You don't have to get too fancy or spend a lot of money and if you are afraid of a bit of color, simply cover the walls in a neutral shade and let the accents in the room do the decorating. One area that is regularly overlooked when redecorating is the wall space. Even the plainest walls can be made to look good by using great wall art and decorative accessories. Try adding antique style oil paintings or watercolors in vintage frames to your dining room walls to enhance the elegance of your formal design style. Getting a fantastic formal look in your dining room can be as simple or involved as you want it to be. Either way, attention to the fine details and making sure you match your decorative items and furniture will help you accomplish a fantastic new formal theme that you'll have fun showing off to your friends! |
