Buying a beautiful dining room table and chairs that go perfectly together is the easy part of decorating your dining room. All you have to do is browse through the furniture collections from nationally known manufacturers and choose the dining room set that enhances your decor. The real fun is individualizing the room to make a personal statement of your sense of style to achieve a stunning look.
That is where accent furniture comes in. Unlike occasional furniture designed to match and blend seamlessly with the existing furniture in a room, accent furniture is intended to provide the wow factor you are looking for. An accent piece often becomes the focal point of a room because of its dramatic styling, striking color, unusual materials or unique finishing. Choosing just the right accent piece for your dining room from a company like Butler Specialty Company, Pulaski Furniture or Coaster Furniture can make all the difference for a unique dining room.
Choosing an Accent Piece
Discovering just the right accent piece for your dining room may take a little time but it is a pleasurable experience. Look for a dramatic piece with bold design that commands attention. A hand painted chest, a console made of rattan, a glass and wood curio cabinet with back lighting and an interesting metal wine rack are just some of the accent furniture items you will find to enhance your dining room.
- Accent Chests and Consoles: Find an unusual chest or console to use as a sideboard. An accent piece can also store dining room tablecloths, dishes and silverware while providing a dramatic focal point for the room.
- Curio Cabinets: Beautifully crafted curio cabinets can add an outstanding component to a lovely but ordinary dining room. Use the curio cabinet to display a treasured collection or to show off dining room items like special platters, cups and saucers and other meal related items.
- Bars and Wine Storage Units: A meticulously crafted bar is a functional and interesting addition to a dining room. Wine cabinets and racks provide storage space while adding an appealing visual element.
- Accent Chairs: Displaying extra chairs in your dining room can become an opportunity to add excitement while having the advantage of additional seating right at your fingertips. Choose a chair with interesting styling and an unusual fabric. Textures, patterns and colors work well. Just make sure they are stain resistant!
