Feast Your Eyes: Gorgeous Dining Room Decorating Ideas

This home has two distinct dining spaces, with one area for eating and one for entertaining. This separation makes it easier to enjoy each space to the fullest.

A brightly colored rug is a great way to liven up your dining space without having to break out a paintbrush. Adding a rug can also dramatically delineate the dining area in open-plan homes.

The neutral furniture and jute area rugs enhance the dining area without overwhelming it with patterns. The understated design also showcases the bright green plants and copper accent bar stools.

If you're really happy with your dining room decor but simply want to make it more inviting for guests, try adding a curated bar cart. You can opt for a cheap (but gorgeous) DIY cart like this one, or spring for something a little fancier.

The bright-red chairs in this room make a bold statement that really draws your attention to the table.

These wall-mounted plant brackets are a customizable and unexpected way to add color and greenery to your walls. Try this with succulents or sprawling bouquets for a modern look.

A statement vase or low-hanging chandelier can add instant impact to your tablescape.

High contrasts -- such as black art on white walls -- will immediately draw your eye in! Align your chandelier and centerpiece with this in mind and you will create a dramatic focal point in your dining room.
