Why designer dining rooms ?
I read an interior design book last night. Since I
can't recommend it to you, I won't reveal the name. What I saw was a group
of photographs asking the reader to choose her favorite dining room. After
studying the rooms carefully, I decided that not one room presented good
design for eating and conversing!
Several of the dining rooms used wallpaper in bold
patterns that compete with nonexistent diners. Most of these rooms offered
uncomfortable seating, either too big for intimate conversation or too
little for personal comfort. The "cozy" dining rooms were cluttered with too
many accessories; the "formal" and "elegant" rooms were too stiff and cold.
This is how I labeled the dining rooms:
1. Cluttered Country
2. Bleak Stiff Modern
3. Wallpaper Madness Traditional
4. Cold Contemporary
5. Stark Shaker
6. Bland Eclectic
7. Pretty for Parties with Misguided Colors
8. Governor’s Mansion for Once a Year
If you want to makeover your dining room for good
conversations and dining pleasure, here are a few new interior design tips
from Design Psychology strategies:

1. Focus on how you and your dining partners will
look in the space. Don't overdo the accessories.
2. Use colors to enhance the appearance of people and fabrics to soften the
space.
3. Choose wallpaper with patterns smaller than your palm so the pattern
doesn't compete with faces.
4. Add flowers and soft -- not spiky -- houseplants to bring nature indoors.
5. Provide cushioned chairs for relaxed and extended conversations.
6. Establish a theme or style that reinforces your personal design
statement.
7. Color your walls to complement food and enhance taste.
8. Relax formal dining rooms with rough textures and houseplants.
Make your guests and family feel honored with a
dining room designed to support conversations and enjoy eating your shared
dinners.
