Decorating a dining room is a difficult task especially because all the furniture in the dining room is routine and predetermined because of the purpose they need to serve in the dining room such as a table, a few chairs, a cabinet to place the crockery, and a picture on the wall. Many people prefer a very casual setting for their dining room which provides a relaxed dining environment. Others prefer a more formal look. Here are some decorating ideas to take the boredom out of the monotonous style of decorating your dining room.Add life to the dining room by painting the walls in your favourite color. For a more formal look, you can go for dark rich colors like red or dark blue, but if you prefer a casual look, paint your walls in light pastel shades or bright airy colors like light yellow, or light green.the type of window treatment in your home speaks volumes about your tastes. For a more formal look, you can consider using a multiple layered window panel consisting of tiebacks and tassels. However, for a more casual look, you need to use a whimsical rod instead of a cornice board and simplify your multilayered formal window treatment by removing some of the layers. You can just retain a single layer, like the sheer translucent curtain, shades, or blinds.Consider using a false ceiling in the dining room with embedded mirrors for a different look. The kind of lighting you use in your dining room makes a lot of difference in the look and feel of the room. You can either go for a chandelier or use a low hanging bulb with wicker shade. For a more aesthetic appeal, you can use rustic, bronze and copper shades and dim lighting.There are many other alterations that you can try with paint and fabric of your choice to give a new look to the dining room.
