Dining room decorating is easy and can be inexpensive when you know my decorating secrets. My video gives you great decorating ideas and shows you how to decorate your dining room table in ten minutes or less. The room is in a 1200 square foot apartment and demonstrates how any dining room, whether in an apartment or house can be transformed into a beautiful and comfortable designer showcase.
The design starts with a wrought iron base table with round glass top sitting on an artsy accent rug over hardwood flooring. The table is surrounded with four beautiful salmon-colored armless dining chairs covered in what looks to be suede but it’s not… it’s microfiber which is an inexpensive alternative.
Decorations include cut-glass charger plates topped with gold-lacquered dinner plates, silk embroidered napkins in bronze napkin rings, olive stir sticks in martini glasses, and tall ceramic glass vase with silk gladiola flowers. Check out this decorating video and get some decorating ideas for your dining room table. You’ll find this video on my blog below. Share the video with a friend who may need some help with their dining room. I also share my decorating secrets in my book and you can get it at:
