Dining in Style

Hello, darlings! Creating a glamorous dining room is all about creating an atmosphere that exudes luxury, elegance, and sophistication. It's about creating a space that is not only functional but also visually stunning. If you're looking to create a dazzling dining room, then you're in luck because Sparkles Home has just the things you need to make your dining room shine. Let’s grab a glass of bubbly and get started!

First things first, let's talk about the foundation of any glamorous dining room: the table. When it comes to choosing the perfect dining table, there are a few things to keep in mind. As everyone knows, size matters. You want to make sure that your table is large enough to comfortably seat all of your guests or family, but not so large that it overwhelms the room. You will want to have at least four to five feet around each end of the table so that if the chairs are occupied there is still enough room for others to walk behind them. Consider the shape of your table; round tables are great for creating an intimate atmosphere, while rectangular tables are perfect for larger gatherings. Choose a piece that you will love in your home and that will work for you for years to come. 

With chairs, comfort is key. Wide seats and supportive backs will give your guests permission to relax and enjoy their meal without feeling cramped or awkward. However, that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice form for function. Look for chairs with interesting details, like tufted backs, metallic accents, or unique colors to draw the eye. If the chairs have arms, measure to make sure they won’t hit the edge of your table which could damage the chair or the table. 

Table runners and placemats are fantastic tools for decorators of any level. You can find a single stunning set that speaks to you and use it as a staple to dress up your family gatherings and holidays. If you enjoy switching things up regularly, you can mix and match table runners, placemats, and napkins and napkin rings through the different holidays and seasons without having to replace your entire dining set.  

The ultimate upscale addition to your dining table will be charger plates. Chargers are placed under your dinner plates and they add an elegant and formal feeling. They can be used with or without placemats as they also serve to protect your table from hot dishes or scratches. Using chargers can also be a perfect solution if you have a round table and need a more flexible place setting. Paired with placemats, they create a rich, layered look that elevates your tablescape to the next level.

When it comes to entertaining in your glamorous dining room, it's important to remember that the key is to make your guests feel comfortable and welcome. Make sure that there is plenty of seating available and that the lighting is just right. Add a mix of unscented candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Use fresh or dried flowers and greenery for a centerpiece. Tablescapes can be made into works of art with the right mindset.
