It’s November – it’s the start of the holiday season. This month is when family and friends begin to gather to stuff their faces full of big meals and delicious desserts. During this time, people spend a lot of time together in the dining room. Dining rooms are an ideal space to bring together a larger group of people to enjoy each other’s company. Since many people will be in and out of this room throughout the holiday season, it’s essential this room is built and decorated to fit your needs and tastes.

Lots of memories and special moments occur in dining rooms as loved ones gather around the table, so it’s essential to have this room for you to bond with the closest people to you. If you like hosting Thanksgiving or throwing holiday parties throughout the season, it’s even more important to have a good dining space to entertain people.

Whether you’re looking to build a new home or just want to renovate your dining room, Luxury Home Solutions (LHS) will work side-by-side with you every step of the way to design you a custom luxury dining room. Our design team has years of experience and will work to make your dream dining room a reality.

When you work with a custom home builder, you can throw us any concept at all, and we will work with you to make that idea happen. Below, we’ve listed some creative dining room ideas and tips that can really create a stunning space for you and your loved ones to enjoy during this holiday season.

• Purchase a round or oval table. Conversation is easier around these shapes, because everyone can see everyone without having to move much.
• Built-in seats (banquettes) are popular right now. They are a great space saver, and can be used for extra storage.
• Since you’ll most likely be popping open a bottle during dinner, install a recessed built-in wine rack into one of the walls. Not only is it convenient, but it’s also aesthetically pleasing.
• Build your dining room in a place with a view. Whether it’s overlooking water, a wooded area, your garden, or your pool, it’s nice to have a great view while eating. Install large or bay windows for an ideal viewing spot.
• Open-space floor plans are more popular these days. With this type of floor plan, your dining room easily flows into the kitchen so you can converse with loved ones as you finish cooking up the meal.
• A mirrored-wall can bring a lot of drama into the dining room, while making the room appear bigger.
• Purchase large wall art (2D and 3D) that will really pop and enhance the room.
• Be creative with your lighting and chandelier choices. This is your opportunity to choose something unique that can be a conversation piece in the room. For example: pendant lighting at different heights is a very bold, fun look.
• Since you’re gathering in the room to sit at the table, choose a material that really stands out. Why not have your table be the center of attention? Marble is a great material to use to draw people’s attention.

Dining rooms can be fun to decorate. Use this room like a black canvas. Your options for colors, materials, table shape, windows, doorways, rugs, decorations are endless! Have fun with this room!
