1) The easiest way to add style to your dining table is to add a tablecloth. Some tablecloths are very expensive, but it is not that difficult to find inexpensive ones at discount or departmental stores. You may also buy a fabric and stitch your customized table cloth. The fabric of the table cloth shall decide the style for the table. If you desire something simple and lustrous then go for plain colored fabrics. For special occasions, invest in silk, organza or organdy table cloths. Prints and designs are perfect for daily use.

2) If you have a glass table top then, never cover it up with a tablecloth. Instead use table mats. Table mats are available in an array of materials, designs and styles. For daily use, plastic tablemats are the best option as they are easy to clean. For special occasions, you may use cotton, jute or linen.

3) Explore the nature for decorating items for your dining table as they are free of cost. A vase of fresh picked flowers not only smell good but also attracts attention as a centerpiece. A bowl filled with dried flowers and pinecones also look exquisite.

4) You may also place a glass bowl in the center of the table, place some rocks at the bottom, fill it up with water and float some leaves and flowers. Alternatively, fruits such as apples, lemons and lime placed in a bowl also look attractive.

5) Another creative idea to a romantic touch to the dining table is to place candles on the dining table. Place the center candles few inches below the eye level. For informal dining, use short pillar candles and for an elegant and formal dining, use tall tapering candles. You may also float candles in a bowl and decorate it as a center piece.

How to Choose the Right Dining Room Table

A dining room table is most likely to be the focal point of your dining room or dining area, making it the main item of dining furniture. This is the reason that you should give a lot of thought to the kind of dining room table that you get for your dining room. The points to ponder are size, shape, material used, design, whether or not you need a table pad, whether you want to opt for a dining room set or mix and match separates; you need to examine all these points before deciding what is right for you.

Size: The size of the dining table is of course one of the most crucial factors to consider when choosing a dining room table. Too big and it can make the room look small and cluttered; too small and it can look rather lost in a large room. So when you go shopping for a dining table, remember to take along the size, measurements and proportions of the dining area. Ideally, I dining table should be big enough for the size of the room but it should also leave enough room around the sides for easy movement and also leave space for any additional pieces of furniture that you may want to add, such as a hutch or a sideboard or buffet or even a mini bar or drinks trolley.

Shape: The rule of thumb is that if you have a square shaped room, a square dining table may be a good idea and if your dining area is rectangular in shape, the more conventional rectangular one will be a good bet. Also a very good option is the circular or round dining room table. This is the shape to go for when the proportions of your dining area are small and space is a constraint. Round dining tables are great space savers. Also consider the number of chairs that you want for the dining room: if all you need are 4 chairs it does not make sense to choose a rectangular table, because 4 chairs placed at a rectangular table can look pretty odd.

Material: Another thing to consider is what is the dining table to be made of? Glass topped tables are very attractive, wood is durable, wrought iron can also be an option but is not always practical. If you like glass topped tables but are afraid of wear and tear, you can opt for a table pad that will protect the table from heat, humidity, stains, spills and scratches. Custom table pads are available for any kind of dining table.

Design: Your dining room should form a harmonious whole with the rest of the house so if your drawing room is minimalist or starkly modern, so should be your dining room furniture. There are some wonderful contemporary designs available these days, such as pedestal dining tables, modern or contemporary shapes, tables with fold away portions, two tiered dining tables, tables with a rotating center, the options are practically limitless!
