There are so many luxurious new homes in the Chesterfield community. These homes offer lovely formal dining rooms. Often homeowners feel a bit overwhelmed when thinking about how to decorate this space. Here are some ideas to make your formal dining area a beautifully inviting space with a personal touch. Black Beauty Throw is a little animal print like zebra stripes and fringed curtains. This combination can be playful yet sophisticated. Pair this combo with rich cream color wallpaper or even a gold-toned palette. Mix and Match Don’t be afraid to mix materials like; dark and light woods, gold and silver fixtures, wood and plastic chairs. Believe it or not you can still have a pulled-together look. Pattern that Pops Incorporate a pattern like a soft floral pattern. It can be feminine and pretty. Use a handsome stripe to balance out the room. A couple of oversized candelabras can be a simple centerpiece in your dining room.  A Bit of Sunshine Adding yellow accents to a gray and white palette can be a happy surprise. Using modern furniture with clean lines will make your room feel clean and bright. French Influence Traditional Louis-style chairs trimmed in white around a table is a good way to add a bit of French influence to your room.  Using various neutrals like creams, whites and a sage green on the walls and accent pieces will give a fresh and inviting feel. Statement Color One bold color like a deep emerald green can give your dining room a dramatic feel. When using a bold color on your walls stick to a single two-toned fabric on your drapes and chairs. This will make the effect very pleasing to the eyes. If you have purchased or are purchasing one of the new homes in Chesterfield keep some of the ideas in mind while you are decorating your dining room.
