Whether you have a formal dining room or an every day dining room, it is where everyone gathers for holiday meals. You can create an appealing atmosphere with just a few inexpensive changes.
Instructions
1. Add wine racks. If you don’t have a lot of floor space in your dining room, you can add wall wine racks. Wall wine racks give a bit more décor to the walls with tastefully done grapevines and clusters of grapes. If you have the space, you can put two wall wine racks on the wall. Hang them diagonally across from each other.
2. Paint the dining room. It will give it a fresh new look. Make sure you have the rest of the dining room as you want it, so you can match the paint with the current décor, new or old. Pick a color that already exists on the current décor.
3. Add crown molding. Caulk and stick crown molding makes it possible to easily install the crown molding. The ends are already cut for you, so you don’t have to worry about wasting a piece because you cut it wrong. If you are adept with cutting angles, by all means, cut your own crown molding!
4. Add wrought iron décor. If you can find your wine racks in wrought iron, this is perfect. Add other wall pieces, stands or side tables created with wrought iron. Look for pieces that are rich in the colors of your current décor.
5. Create a focal point. If you have another bare wall, put a large wall hanging, mirror, clock, or anything that suits your fancy on the wall. If you can find matching smaller pieces, you can make a very nice focal point on the wall.
6. Add plants or silk flowers to the side tables. If you have a green thumb, add some colorful plants. If not, or if you do not want to be bothered with taking care of live plants, you can add silk plants to the area to brighten it up.
