Decorating Your Dining Room This Season
The holidays are coming, which means it's finally time for all the fall and festive things! With this joyous holiday season moving into full swing, you're probably preparing to bring all your hosting gear out, from cozy throw blankets to table scape fixings. During this festive time of the year, the home area where you dine becomes the most important room in your home, so your whole dining room furniture and decoration must be spot-on to enjoy the holiday spirit and essence to its fullest.
It doesn't really matter if it's a large dining table where you can sit with your whole family and friends or a most exclusive cabinet where your most beautiful tableware is safely kept; everything on this holiday season needs to be prepared beforehand.
Read on for a few ideas that will help you in your dining room decoration to shine as the hostess with your guests!
Choosing Your Dining Table
When it comes to decoration for holidays, the significance of a dining table and other dining furniture is amicable. Select your dining table according to your dining room's size. If you have a spacious dining room, opt for a sizable table. On the other hand, a small dining room space accommodates a round dining table, where five people can sit and chat comfortably. Some tables like the Adinton dining table by Ashley Furniture can serve as an oval and a round table courtesy of a removable table leaf.

The material of your table is also worth considering. Usually, a rustic wood table has an uneven surface, while a glass surfaced table can make for a loud dinner without proper placemats or tablecloth, and other material may not be as easy to clean. Find something that suits both your style and needs.
Chairs and Benches
A trendy approach in your dining room's seating is to have mixed chairs or to even incorporate a bench. Like many designers, you can create variety by using chairs on the dining table ends to designate the head. You can create a more open space by adding benches in the seating; it will also help fit more people in the area.

We often find ourselves running a lot between the kitchen and dining room during holidays, consider adding a server or a hutch in the dining area. Use it to store your best dinnerware, glasses, and extra napkins. This way, you can stay more focused on guests and less on hosting.
Dress up Your Table
Whether you're preparing to host a Thanksgiving party for a group of people or an intimate Valentine's Day dinner for two persons, a carefully designed table is always memorable. Channel the holiday season colors and select a combination of your favorite three to guide the palette. Mix-and-match table linens, including table napkins, cloth, and more, to add some color to your dining tablescape.
Accentuate the Table
Now it's time to personalize your space by accessorizing with some vases, centerpieces, and decorative objects. Just be careful about adding too much of this "stuff" around your dining table because then it can make your room feel cluttered. Focus on a few pieces that work well with your table's overall style, shape, and color scheme. Use a single centerpiece to decorate a small round table, where a large, rectangular table may hold two or three beautifully placed decorative objects.
Layer Some Lighting
The next essential thing in a dining room decoration is the perfectly placed lighting. Hang a beautiful chandelier as a stunning statement to upscale the look. There should be a gap of 30-36 inches between the tabletop and the chandelier. This will keep the direct light away from your guest's face. Also, add some layered lighting like wall scones, with dimmer switches to create a romantic ambiance. For a more customized lighting option, add a buffet or a table lamp.
