Choose a particular theme for your dining room, which in effect will be based on whether it is an open space or a separate room. In any case, it is important for a particular theme to run through the house so that it looks unified. So if the basic design theme of your house focuses on modern furniture, then a modern dining room will be perfect. This will include glass tables, sleek chairs, and a sleek cabinet. Of course, it will be enhanced with the right dining room décor and accessories such as special light fixtures. Similarly, if you decide to use antique furniture based on a rustic or traditional theme, the remaining furniture will follow suit. You may decide to have a romantic dining room, with a small nook that allows you to enjoy a sensuous candlelight dinner too.
