This Is How You Can Style Your Dining Room Table To Make A Real Statement In Your Space
When you purchase or rent a home, as you spend more time in it, you’ll realize there are so many small ways to improve it and make it more inviting through a few small decorative changes.
For instance, have you thought about styling your dining room table?
Selecting and purchasing a nice dining room table can be a complicated task in and of itself, and by the time you’re done, you may think there’s nothing left to do with it. While a great table can stand out on its own, it can look even better when you add a bit of decor to it.
I’m not talking about cheesy holiday decor or obnoxious tablecloths; I mean small, everyday items you can add to your dining table to bring it to life and make your space more inviting.
Overhead lighting
If you don’t have great lighting in your home, consider installing some great overhead lights above your dining table.
A nice light fixture can add so much great energy and style to an area of your home and will make your dining room look complete.
A statement vase
While you could put a simple vase in the center of your dining table that looks great with the flowers you put in, a more decorative, bold vase is great because it may not need flowers to stand out.

See if you can find a vase with a gorgeous color or print and place it in the center of your dining table to fill some empty space.
Fresh flowers
Along with your vase, you can spend a few extra bucks a week to keep fresh flowers on your dining table. This is a great idea if you really feel like your dining space is a bit dull.
Plus, if you love gardening and working with plants but don’t have a yard, then maintaining your weekly dining room bouquet can scratch that itch. Select fresh seasonal flowers and use them to freshen up your table.
A fruit bowl
One of my favorite scenes in the rom-com film “The Break Up” is when Jennifer Anniston’s character gets mad at Vince Vaughn’s character because he only bought her three lemons from the store instead of 12, which ruined her ’12 lemon centerpiece’ for their dinner party.
A fruit bowl does look nice in the center of a dining room table. It’s bright and makes your home feel lived in versus staged. However, be sure to select fruits you will actually use so that nothing goes to waste!
A dining vignette
A dining vignette means a carefully set up dining set on your table. So you could set up a dining place setting at each seat at your table! You select great basics like nice placemats, your favorite china, utensils, glasses, and napkins, and carefully place them at each seat.
This is great because it’s another decor choice that makes your home feel ‘lived in’ and more homey. Plus, your dining set is already there when it’s time to eat. No need to set the table!
All these things are really easy to have in your home; it’s simply up to you which one you choose. Which dining room style tip are you leaning toward?
