Decorating Ideas for
Dining Room Glamour
|
It's the eternal questions--how to achieve dining room
glamour on a budget? There are basic decorating ideas that
will impart beauty and glamour to your dining room, which
you can create yourself, even on a small budget. Here are
the glamour decorating ideas I implemented in my dining
room.
#1. Glamorous Dining Room Fabrics
Elegant fabric will cost the same as casual fabric,
offering you an easy, affordable way to add glamour to your
dining room. Begin by buying slipcovers for your old dining
room chairs, which will save money over reupholstering them.
Take slipcover with you to the fabric
and enjoy finding a matching, elegant dining room fabric from which to
sew glamour dining room drapes, a table runner, or place
setting squares. Edge fabrics with fringes or tassels for
added glamour, and be sure to make the valances on your
curtains long and ornamental.
Complete this capsule of
glamour by choosing an elegant rug for your dining room.
Once more choose from the same color palette, until your
curtains, chairs and rug all blend into a rich array of
dining room decorating.

#2. Glamorous Dining Room Colors
Purple was once the color of emperors, and for a good
reason. Purples and crimsons will imbue your dining room
with elegance and glamour. Paint or wallpaper your dining
room walls with dramatic colors. Or, better yet, use this
simple faux
painting technique to impart glamorous texture to your
dining room walls.
Then treat your windowpanes to a little glamour by covering
them with white, see-through fabrics, ornamented with a
lattice of silk purple ribbons.
#3. Glamorous Dining Room Lighting
Lighting will affect the beauty of your dining room. Always
choose elegant lighting, like crystal chandeliers, or
charming shabby chic lighting, and add a cheap dimmer to the
light switch to give you full control of the amount of
lighting you shine in your glamorous dining room. And be
sure to capitalize on outdoor lighting, position your dining
room table in the path of the sun, for cozy weekend
breakfasts or romantic sunset dinners.
