Designing Dining Rooms

October 20, 2017

Dining rooms seem to be the one room in the house that goes in and out of fashion. Having a separate dining room used to be something special in a home. Now the open plan dining area seems to be the fashion. I suppose it means that you can move the furniture around with much more ease. It is more difficult to change a dining room into a living room for example.

The dining room basically consists of a dining table and chairs. Depending on the space available, a sideboard or some sort of serving table is often also included.

So how do you decorate a dining room? Some people love to have an area rug under the table to define the dining space, this works well when you have an open plan dining space, others love the presence of an elaborate chandelier at the center of the table or other subtler lighting. Add an artistic touch to your home decor with a beautiful chandelier from our Iron & Onyx Lighting Collection. The many hanging lights and thick black iron of the large Castillo chandelier adds to its artistic old-world feel. The light shades are made of hand-cut yellow onyx and perfectly accentuate the hand-forged iron work. Such a chandelier is destined to serve as the focal point of any room it adorns.

Of course, one of the most important elements to the dining room is the table. We offer a wide variety of different shapes and sizes plus customized furniture options available by special order. If your dining room is used multi-functionally then you may enjoy picturing yourself and your friends drinking cold margaritas around our Hacienda Counter-Height Table. Match it with a set of rustic barstools for a complete southwestern feel. Up to six can sit and eat or drink at this affordable table, with up to eight around the large size. It's also a great workspace for jobs or table games that require a higher than normal table. The fact it is made in Mexico just adds to its appeal!

Whatever type of dining room you currently have, or dream about having, La Fuente Imports can provide you with the furniture and home accessories to decorate it.
