And guess what?? Your Dining table can very easily look like this. You need not buy designer, and hence overtly expensive dining tables to have them looking refined and attractive. Just follow some simple steps to make your ordinary dining table look like the ones in the pictures I have shown above.
The first thing I would like you to do is remove all the stuff from your Dining table. That’s right, ALL THE STUFF, and that means your table covers go as well. Now if your table looks decent without the cover, that means if it is in good shape and without visible scratches and marks, and also if you do not have toddlers in your house then I would tell you to get rid of the Table Cover. But if you find your table unsuitable to be without a cover then do use a Dining table cover but it has to be in a single colour depending on the colour scheme of the room. DO NOT GET TABLE COVERS IN PRINTS. The next step is to follow the principles of Minimalism. ‘Less is More’ is so true in this case. Get a nice vase with some flowers or attractive candles as centre pieces for your table. Some other Accessories, though totally optional, for your Dining table would be a chic napkin holder and a set of salt and pepper cellar. You can also use a cloth runner for adding character to your Dining table. Some examples for these Accessories are shown in the following pictures.
After you are done with these steps, I would advise you to stop right there. No more stuff on the Dining table. Accessories like toothpick holder, coasters, cutlery stand, placemats, etc. can be placed inside your crockery cabinet (or storage of the dining table) and can be taken out when required. Hence these accessories need not be permanent fixtures on the Dining table. You can also have an interesting ceiling-mounted lamp above your Dining table for a luxurious feeling.
Another thing you need to remember is the most important rule for maintaining the sophisticated look of your Dining table. The word ‘Replace’ says it all. There are so many attractive things in the market that you want for your Dining table. Do buy them if you want to, but before placing it on the Dining table remove one thing that was already on it. If it’s a centre piece then remove the previous one. That’s easy to do and keeps your Dream Dining table clutter free.
Remember to follow these simple steps and I am sure you will ‘Dine in style’ every time.

ReplyDeleteHi Daisy, I agree with your point but would like to add that one should not overdo the effect.
