Revamp your Dining Room

-

Does your dining room decor date back to the dark ages? The outdated colours and accessorie­s are no longer appealing or appetizing? Make the most of the winter months to breathe new life into this room. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to do so.

The walls

Get out your brushes and rollers and give a boost to your gloomy looking walls. Be daring and paint them a bright colour to liven up your decor. Not sure which colour to choose? Consult a profession­al decorator.

Textured coatings

If your walls are damaged, look into the amazing properties of textured coatings. Besides giving a distinctiv­e look to your walls, they conceal small imperfecti­ons. Apply them with a plastic tool, which is easier to handle than a metal one.

The light fixtures

If your dining room doesn’t have dimmers on the light fixtures, invest in some as soon as possible — you won’t regret it. You’d like an original light fixture? Go wild! Warning: for any electrical work, call in a profession­al.

The furniture

The fabric seats of your chairs are damaged? Buy some pretty fabric that is water- and stain resistant. Using a screwdrive­r, a good pair of scissors and a stapler, you’ll be able to give new life to your entire dining room set. One question remains: who will you invite to help you inaugurate your revamped dining room?
