Dining Room Design Tips this Holiday Season
Party Away with These Dining Room Design Tips
The holiday season is here, and we bet you are planning to usher in the New Year with a bang! With occasions such as Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day calling for gleeful celebrations with family and friends, hosting get-togethers and dinner parties is a must. With restrictions slowly being eased and larger social gatherings being allowed, how can you revamp your living space to cater to your guests this holiday season?
Well, when we think of the holiday season, it is inevitable that Christmas decorations and gatherings around a dining room table for a scrumptious feast come to mind. This, in and of itself, showcases the importance of your dining space when hosting guests. From space restrictions and seating solutions to the visual appeal of seasonal Christmas home decor, we cover the pain points of gathering a crowd in your dining room and possible design solutions to ensure your holiday celebrations are one for the books!
Home Furniture that Facilitates Space
There can never be enough space when it comes to hosting guests – this is especially so in the dining room. Dining tables and chairs of varying designs and styles are available aplenty in most home furniture stores in Singapore. But of all the options, how do you choose the perfect dining table? Though extendable dining tables are a great option, rectangular tables are just as handy when going for a pretty buffet setup. For a little extra space, multi-functional coffee tables that provide extra built-in storage are always a convenient addition.
Max Dining Bench
Dining room tables aside, it is crucial to never forget about where your guests are going to sit. A dining table can only fit in so many chairs. So, when in need of more seating space, use a dining bench instead. A practical alternative to the standard dining chairs, benches are space-saving but also versatile and multi-functional. Need some extra space for the dishes you’ve whipped up? Pull out a dining bench and have it serve double duty as a table.
Tis’ the Season to Feel Connected
As mentioned, rectangular dining tables support easy display of items – have Christmas decorations that you would like to display without occupying much space? An oblong table is the solution. However, if rectangular tables do not complement your space, round tables are the next best thing. Encouraging conversation and injecting a warm atmosphere into the area, round dining tables, or even coffee tables facilitate the creation of a communal space with ease.
Ho Ho Home Decor that Outlasts Christmas
Every Christmas, we pull out our home decor essentials – a Christmas tree, dining table decor, rope lights – it’s part of the tradition. Whether you have your festive decorations up on your display cabinets or dining tables, sooner or later, these seasonal decorations are going to be out of style. There are, however, certain elements that you could incorporate into your dining space and not worry about it being “out of season”. These include:
1. Metallic Touches
The holiday season is all about bright lights, sparkles, and shiny ornaments, but there is a fine line between being tasteful and overly decorated. Set the right mood in your dining room by going easy on the decorations. Instead, add metallic touches through your furniture choices. This will make your space feel trendier and more unique.
2. Textures
Mastering the subtle art of playing with textures allows you to add a little dramatic flair to your dining space. Simply layering textures, materials, and colours, elevates the appeal of your home. The Charles dining bench and dining chairs, designed with woven fabric, steel frames, and white piping details, is a standalone art piece. Such home furniture imbues your dining room with luxury without you spending extra on decorative elements.
3. Versatile Themes & Everlasting Durability
Lastly, to ensure your design scheme is evergreen, it is best to follow a theme throughout your abode – and most obviously ensure that your furniture and decorative elements are ones to stand the test of time. If you are going to have guests over, instead of only decorating your dining space, revamp your entire home. Take this as an opportunity for a little home makeover to usher in the New Year! Also, to make sure you’re not stuck in the endless cycle of purchasing furniture annually, opt for pieces that deliver durability unlike any other. We all know how parties can get a little crazy, with spills and stains being a standard occurrence. If you’re no stranger to accidents in your home, the BOLDA Quartz top dining table is one worth considering. Stain and heat-resistant, the pristine beauty of this dining table matches its durability that can handle spills and even the heat of the ultimate party crowd favourite – hot pots!
