How to Create an Elegant Dining Room
An elegant dining room is a perfect place to entertain in style with the latest furniture trends. Contemporary furniture from IQ Furniture can help you create an elegant dining room using our new showroom at Sky House Design Centre so you can see the products first.
The room itself is very important, so if you are lucky enough to have grand proportions, large windows or authentic period features such as an original fireplace make the most of them and build the scheme around them, enhancing the natural character of the room.

FOCAL POINT
The dining table and chairs are also very important, so choose carefully, making sure they do not dominate the room, but at the same time make a focal point. A dark wood table and chairs will add a traditional period feel to the room, but to stop it from being too overwhelming introduce pops of colour with cushions, table linen and accessories.

CLASSIC LOOK
Lighter wood or painted finishes can still add a classic touch, which can be enhanced with soft textiles or linen to create a different feel to your elegant dining room.

PRACTICAL DESIGN
Add a contemporary stylish sideboard into your elegant dining room to house your dinnerware and glasses. Sideboards don’t have to be the same colour or even material as the dining table, it just needs to compliment space well.

STATEMENT PIECE
Add a statement light fitting such as a crystal chandelier or decorative pendant above the table to draw attention to the middle of the room and continue the elegant feel. Silver or glass candelabras also make a wonderful centrepiece on the table adding to the sense of grandeur. Continue this theme with silver cutlery, crystal glassware and delicate china, adding elegant finishing touches to the table setting and leaving you ready to be the perfect host.
