Statement Dining Table
The dining table, it can mean so many different things for lots of different families. For some it’s the only place they can get the full family to gather for one hour a day, for others it’s the place where homework gets done, sometimes it’s where date nights occur and for many, it’s the place they sit to enjoy some really good food. Whatever it means to you, in terms of your dining room decor, the dining table is usually the room’s centrepiece. If you continue to keep your dining table the statement of your full room, it can be much easier to save money on everything else. Choose a statement table that fills the centre of the room, which exudes the main decor style you’re hoping to achieve and draws everyone eyes to it. Whether you’ve got a big family and need a 6-seater or need a smaller table for your smaller family, by focusing your budget on your dining table you can save money on the rest of the room’s decorations as it draws in everyone’s attention.
Bold Lighting
If you’re already happy with your dining table another investment for a budget-friendly dining room revamp could be into a bold lampshade or light fitting. If your dining table is central to your room then installing low-hanging, industrial-style fittings often make a bold statement and also look amazing! If not, then a wide, open light fitting or a modern spotlight fitting can both help illuminate the room and can tie together the rest of the room’s decor. Choose a fitting that is going to catch people’s eyes and draw attention from the rest of the room. This means you can invest in your fitting and save the rest of your pennies on the room surrounding it.
Accent Wall
If you’re wanting to completely revamp and redecorate your dining space without spending much money, then an accent wall can be the best way – especially if you’re starting with a blank canvas. Choose a nice bold paint colour for your accent wall or even a beautifully decorated wallpaper that you can find at a good price across a range of shops, and you’ll find one wall changing the whole feel of the room. Accent walls allow you to make the impact with your room’s decoration without the cost of four walls, making them a very budget-friendly decorating tactic that also looks good.
Declutter
One of the least expensive ways of altering the way your dining room looks is to declutter it. Remove unnecessary accessories, take out the extra furniture that’s taking up space, reduce the amount of wall art and leave only the already-done decor and the dining table. Not only will the room look and feel completely different, decluttering can be very therapeutic and will feel like a huge change! Decluttering your dining room changes the decor style to a more minimalistic one that is easier on the eye and can feel much more calming. Without clutter, you can ensure your dining room’s interior serves a purpose, feels much more refreshed and it will instantly feel brand new without having to spend a penny!
Wall Art
If you’ve already got a minimal-looking dining room decor and want to add more to the room rather than decluttering it then a good piece of wall art can do the trick. Whether this is one focal piece of art in the centre of a wall, a nice, huge mirror to create the illusion of a much bigger room or a rustic looking clock, whatever decor theme you’ve chosen for you can easily find a stunning piece of wall art that will make a big difference without stretching your budget. If funds are low, try looking for second-hand bargains and make a project out of refurbishing them!
