How to Make Your Dining Room Look Luxurious

What is the difference between a dining room that is purely utilitarian and one that makes you want to stay and enjoy a good meal? It’s all in the details. The style of your dining area can influence the tone and the ambience of any breakfast, lunch, or dinner merely by presenting a backdrop that is meant to evoke pleasant, relaxed feelings and encourage diners to savor each and every bite. If your home dining room could use a bit of a modern luxury design lift, review these ideas for how to make your dining room look luxurious – and be a place where you are proud to entertain guests.

 

Show Off Serving Pieces

 

 

If you have a collection of fabulous dinnerware, wineglasses, bowls, plates, or cups don’t keep them hidden away where they can’t be enjoyed. A luxurious dining room China cabinet or hutch such as the one pictured above gives them all a place where they are readily visible and easily accessible. This design idea is casual yet lovely and works really well in a home with industrial chic or modern rustic décor.

 

Add the Perfect Rug

A rug that resides in the dining room must be exactly the right shape and size to avoid it looking like an island upon which the furniture sits. Pictured here is the Remi wood extension table and matching chairs with a perfectly proportioned rug anchoring the space. The colors are a soft accompaniment to the gray walls and blue-toned upholstery on the chairs. The right rug is a great way to make your dining room luxurious with little effort.

 

A Statement Piece
