3 Ways to Jazz Up Your Dining Room for the Holidays
Your dining room may have been pretty quiet during the year, but come the holidays, it will be the most popular place in the house. Because food. Whether you’re hosting cocktail parties, a cookie exchange or full-on Christmas dinner, you want your dining room to look good. With a few eye-catching statement pieces and an extra dose of sparkle, you can quickly jazz up your dining room to look extra festive. This week’s edition of Decor Resolutions will show you how to style your dining room for the holidays, whether you’re decorating a boho-chic space, a minimalist abode or a preppy home.
Warm browns, orange and red are a dreamy color combo for any boho-lover’s dining room. Start with a tasseled rug, rustic wood table and colorful dining chairs — complete with a faux fur cushion, in case those dinner convos go a little long. Set up a snazzy table centerpiece with copper candlesticks, white bottle brush trees and mini copper “cabins” full of flowers or LED lights.
