CREATE A SPACE THAT YOUR GUESTS WILL NEVER WANT TO LEAVE!

Stanley Furniture    

Could your dining room use a little extra pizzazz, but you don't want to redecorate the entire room and start from scratch? We've got some ideas to liven things up, and give meal times a little more oomph.

-          Enlist your dining room to serve double duty. Select a table and chairs that are casual enough for everyday activities - breakfast, doing homework, or putting together puzzles - but can be easily dressed up for entertaining.

-          You may have a set of dining chairs right now that all match. Change up the end chairs a bit – Adding two upholstered chairs to your set can make a drastic difference to the room. Choose a fun whimsical fabric that makes them more interesting and playful.

-          Happy with your dining set but need something more? Mix styles with a mod, multifunctional sideboard or make a statement with a graphic rug or piece of artwork. Incorporate a transitional light fixture that becomes the focal point of the space.
