Ways To Update Your Dining Room

What are some updates you can do to your dining room?

Add a modern or vintage chandelier
Add vintage chairs
Add a garden-inspired tablecloth
Add a built-in breakfast bench
Add a reclaimed wood table

A great easy and inexpensive way to create a new look in a room is to upcycle. Upcycling has become a popular trend where you use unwanted products and use them to create a new product for your space. Instagram shared five upcycling projects that are perfect for a dining room transformation.

1. Modern linear chandelier

A new light fixture is a perfect touch to brighten up the space. There are many DIY chandelier projects that are easy and inexpensive. “Midcentury modern design is back in a big way for furniture and lighting alike,” says Adriene Ged, lead interior designer for Edge Interiors. “This linear light fixture is no exception. The clear round globes and metal and wood make this one a definite throwback piece that dresses up a space.”

2. Vintage cantilever chairs

When you think of cantilever chairs, you think of the 70’s and 80’s but they can be a great recycled item for your current dining room. “These are Italian vintage dining chairs from the ’70s,” explains designer Amy Youngblood. “I love the retro look and use of the rattan back and aged brass frame. It’s a very fun look and great for small spaces, as seen in this small dining area. These chairs are vintage, so the best way to source them is through an online search or vintage furniture dealer.”

3. Garden-inspired tablecloth

An upcycled tablecloth can transform a dining room table and space. Instagram gives an example of a nice garden-inspired theme. “This tight, small floral-printed tablecloth is tipping its hat to the vintage vibe,” says Ged. “Tablecloths like these will come in handy at summer activities such as outdoor barbecue and pool parties.”

4. Built-in breakfast bench

“Built-in banquettes are a popular seating option because they provide ample room for guests and kids to sit, eat, play, read, etc.,” says Ged. “But the real benefit here is that they also serve as extra storage in many cases. Built-ins also provide a custom aesthetic that you wouldn’t achieve as easily if you opted for a free-standing dining table and chairs.”

5. Reclaimed wood table

Reclaimed wood furniture is a perfect addition to almost any space. “Custom-made wood slab tables are super popular right now,” says Youngblood. “They work with many different styles, including farmhouse to contemporary. These tables are made with interesting woods and various styles of bases. My team’s currently having one made for a client that will be 12 feet long in walnut with beautiful brass bases.”
