Although the look of a stark dining room table can show off the lines of the original design, most tables are decorated or dressed with a tablecloth when in use. It's a good idea to audition any table you have in mind to see how it will look when decorated. For example, features like legs will be minimized, while the design of the chairs will be front and center.
White furnishings are ideal if you are looking to create a coastal style in your home. A white kitchen table, glass fronted dresser, painted wooden chairs or a bed side table will all contribute to the light, airy and spacious feel that goes with this much loved look.
Because every piece of wood is unique, there will be variation in wood grain and stain coloration. Make sure to keep furniture out of direct sunlight to avoid damage and color bleaching.
Like the loose and flowing look of "shabby chic" in your couch and chair pieces? Transform a traditional dining chair with a tied, elegant cover up. The dressy finish will create an integrated look that will conceal mismatched chairs.
Before trying any fabric cleaners on your upholstery, test the product on an inconspicuous section of the sofa. Also, find out if the fabric requires a water-based or solvent-based cleaner. Once you have the right cleaner, apply it to the sofa with a soft brush using gentle circular motions to work it into the fibers.
If you choose a round table that is 60 to 72 inches in diameter, add the convenience of a lazy susan (or spinning center). Though the round table provides a great dining setup, the larger the table gets, the harder it is to reach the food.
