Want to transform your dining room into a classy haven for the whole family? Read on to find out how.
- Paint your ceiling and walls
First of all, it doesn’t matter how nice your furniture and soft furnishings are if your walls and ceiling look dirty and worn. That is why you need to paint your dining room as a first step.
Be sure to do a bit of research before you get your brush and ladder out. Then you will be able to enhance the layout of your room with paint. Indeed, there are some methods of painting only specific walls that can make a larger room seem smaller, and vice versa so be sure to consider this carefully as you plan.
- Invest in some heavy curtains
Nothing says class and elegance like heavy curtains and drapery in the dining room. The good news is that by choosing heavy curtains that keep the warm air from escaping from your space you can save energy and some money as well.
Just be sure to pick a colour and design that works in harmony with your newly painted walls. If in doubt cream can always be a good choice. Although cream curtains can be the hardest to keep clean, especially if you have a young family.
- Transform you table
The dining table is the centre point of any classy dining room, and as such you need to pay it special attention. The good news is, that you might not have to replace your table which can be costly. Instead, you can create a whole new look by simply covering the tabletop with a new cloth. In this way, you can add more colour and pattern to your room and even change it up when you get bored.
Another option is to paint your dining room table. The best approach for this is to use chalk paint as you will not need to fully strip all the varnish from your table to get it to stick. Instead, a light sanding will be enough to get a smooth finish in any colour you choose.
- Replace your chairs
New chairs can truly transform a dining space, and there is nothing more classy than these gorgeous velvet dining chairs, which look incredibly comfortable as well. Indeed, providing comfortable as well as great-looking chairs is crucial for a dining space because it will encourage people to spend longer at the table engaging in social and family time.
- Add a rug
Rugs, especially thick luxurious ones can be a very classy addition to your dining room. They can also serve a very practical purpose as they protect the flooring underneath your table from spills and crumbs. Indeed, it’s much easier to just take up a rug and clean it, than having to deep clean an entire carpet.

To get the most out of your dining room rug, you need to make sure that you position it correctly. The best position is underneath the table and chairs. Leaving the edges of the room clear. You will, of course, need to find a rug big enough for this, and a great option is to look in second-hand stores if you want to keep your spending low.
