Not Relishing your Dinner? Here is How to Change That

Too busy to spend time with your family and the only time you spend is on the dining table while having meals together. But what happened? You are not enjoying? The food is good, you love your family then where lies the problem? Yes! You are right – the culprit is your dining room. Change the ambience of your dining room and then see the difference.

You modify your drawing room, your bedroom and even your bathroom often but then you ignore one of the most vital parts of the house – your dining room. This is the place where the furniture generally isn’t given its due. Here is why, and how to make it better.

Most people tend to miss this most essential part of the home. People overlook the fact that the dining room furniture is perhaps responsible for creating the pious ambience for the eating rituals of the family. And when you notice sometimes that the appetite of some guests has diminished, perhaps it is time to change the decor of your dining room.

The attraction of a dining room is enhanced by stylish and elegant dining furniture. The dining furniture includes the dining table and the dining chairs, not to forget those stylish and always useful sideboards, dining hutch, cabinets and the bar stools.

Dining tables which are the most important piece of the furniture, come in a variety of shapes – simple, square, circular, ovals, single podium, double podium etc. Whatever base you choose, the tops also give you further choice between wooden, glass and other materials.

So instead of using the dining room table merely to wipe those hunger pangs, you should also use it to emit some positive vibes and of course reveal some class associated with your social status. The dining chairs where you are going to sit for at least half an hour at a time should be very comfortable. The height of the chair and the table should be comfortable enough for a person with an average build to enjoy his meals. The dining table is not the be all and end all as far as dining room furniture is concerned, but it definitely holds the centre stage of elegance.

Here are few things to keep in mind while designing your dining room:

1. The architecture of the room needs to be done up in a way that it is free from pollutants.

2. The shape of the table should be according to the shape of your room.

3. The height of the chairs and the table should be proportionate.

4. The design of the table and the chair should not be too intricate as that welcomes dust to stick to it, involving the requirement of more than just regular cleaning.

5. Paintings or accessories on the walls should match the dining theme.

6. Carpets preferably should not be placed in the dining room as they attract dust.

7. The sideboards should be spacious enough to place all your crockery inside it and well designed so that the microwaves, toasters and other gadgets are quite handy while having meals.

In the end, I would say that the dining room is the most important part of your home. Beautiful furniture is available in the market, but don’t go by the price and buy the furniture which suits best to your room.

What kind of paint is used on crockery?

I want to paint on terracotta.
Would I need a non-toxic type of gloss paint?
It is going to be sold so it has to be safe with no chance of the paint running, especially because it is crockery and going to be eaten out of.

I just use acrylic paint and then a coat of polyurethane to seal it. It last outdoors for a couple of years and by then I’m ready to paint something different on it anyway. I guess it depends on what you plan to do with the item after you have painted it.

One last hope – Hercules
