The dining room is the ultimate gathering spot with family and friends for breaking bread and chit-chatting about the day’s adventure. So it is essential to select the right furniture, furnishings, upholstery and the décor items and place them in the right place.  We have to select all these items based on our aesthetic sense, but sometimes our plans are failed and we end up killing the entire look that we wanted to make in your dining room. So to offer the best dining experiences to your family, relatives, and friends, here are some things you have to avoid in your dining area designing process. 

Not having enough space - One of the biggest mistakes in designing the dining space is not enough space to comfortably accommodate everyone. Furniture should fill your space and make a space that is both appealing as well as functional. Do not over furnish your room. There should be enough space in the room to generate easy movement and flow.

Lack of proper lighting -   Sometimes the dining area is displaced to a place without enough natural light. As we know that food not only taste delicious but also looks delicious too. So for this having the dining area well lit.   Ensure that focus lights are rightly placed on the dining table top, which not only throws a beautiful visual impact over the space but also makes sure that lights spread evenly throughout the room.  

Uncomfortable seating - In the dining area you can expect all types of people under various age groups. So when it comes to select the piece of furniture, kept seating comfort as your top priority.  That is when you pick a plastic made dining table that matches with your contemporary home, it definitely get uncomfortable to sit on for your elders.  Conversely, if you have kids at your home, try to avoid using sharp edges or designs that could hurt them.   Usually, many of them make mistakes on buying furniture in the dining area that looks beautiful but it is really not much comfortable.   That is someone that has hard to enjoy the meal if it is forced stand to sit longer than 15 minutes.  So be make sure to select comfortable pieces of chairs that are suitable for the height of the table.  The size and shape of your dining table should be proportional to the size and shape of your dining space.

Wrong sized table -   The shape and the size of your dining table should be proportional to the shape and size of your dining area.  Most of the common mistakes made by people are choosing inappropriately sized or shaped dining tables in their dining spaces, which destroy the whole beauty of the space.  Choosing a circular table for a square room and rectangular table in rectangular rooms may the best choices.  So always pick a table based on your dining spaces and your comfort.

Mix 'n' match - When you select furniture and other decorative items for your dining spaces, ensure that all these are in sync with the entire theme of your home.  Never end up by mixing and matching the things. This could not make space stand out instead it would make it look mismatch.  The correct synchronize room will enhance the overall décor of your home.
