• Size of the Room
Sometimes the minor details go a long way when it comes to interior designing. When looking to redecorate your dining room, pick a table size that is in proportion to your room, and gives enough space for movement.

• The Material
The material of the furniture plays an important role in determining the quality and look of your room as well. For example, having a high-end wood or marble table means it will accentuate the elegance of your dining room, as well as guarantee unmatched longevity.

• The shape of the Furniture
i. Something as simple as having a round dining table can make it easy to have a conversation over a meal. However, make sure that the diameter of the table does not exceed over 50 inches.

ii. On the other hand, if you are planning to have a large number of guests at your place, then you may want to choose a rectangular or oval table.

• Comfort
The design may be important, but you must not compromise on comfort. It is always a good idea to plan the layout of the tabletop before purchasing tables and chairs. Make sure to check up on the legs and support of this furniture with respect to the seating arrangement.
Don’t Hesitate to Experiment
Interior designing can be a trial-and-error method. Do not be afraid to try out new things constantly till you feel it is the right decoration for your dining room.
• Experiment with Colours
Using strong colours on the wall that matches with the upholstery of your furnishing can make your dining room really stand out.
Of course, if this is too bold for you, then opting for neutral colour patterns is a good choice.
You can also take inspiration from a painting or wall hanging to choose the colour of the wall.
• Have Enough Lighting

From chandeliers to lamps and pendants, you get quite a number of options when it comes to lighting fixtures for your room nowadays. Along with these, keeping some basic alternatives, such as candles can be a good idea to alter the ambience once in a while.
When it comes to finding the best place to hang a chandelier, the dining room can be considered one of the best choices. Place the beautiful crystal antique right above the dining table.
A smart decorating tip is to get a chandelier with a dimmer. That way, you can brighten up or dim it down according to your preference and control the ambience.

Hopefully, you are going to love the results when you decorate your dining room according to above-listed ideas. Remember to combine different patterns, textures, and colours when decorating for the perfect dining experience.
