How to update your dining room in a few simple steps


Add a centerpiece. Give your table an instant update with a trendy centerpiece like a decorative bowl, a candle arrangement, or even a vintage tray. If you wish, you could also opt for something seasonal like fresh flowers for spring and holiday decorations in the fall. A centerpiece is the perfect design idea for decorating on a budget because it can be inexpensive and possibly something you make yourself!

Display your belongings. A great way to update your dining room is to display some of your personal items like special china, family photos, and trinkets collected from trips. A china cabinet is one great way to do this but you could also add some shelves to one wall. 

Mirror, mirror. A mirror is another good way to give your dining room a boost. Try hanging a framed mirror or collection of mirrors in place of wall art. This will help make your dining room look bigger and add additional light to the space.

Re-cover your chairs. If purchasing all new furniture for your dining room is out of the question, opt for a new dining room table and then redo the chairs you already have. If they have fabric seat cushions or seat backs, take a trip to your local fabric store and pick out a new fabric to replace the old. If your chairs are wood, then pick up a can of paint and paint away!
