A Tuscan Style Dining Room

Tags: Decorating, Home and Decor, Home With Lisa Quinn

Stay at home mom, Brooke and her husband Kevin, recently moved into a beautiful ranch-style home. They have a large entryway that also serves as their dining room. It's an odd space and they have been stumped with how to make it functional. Lisa Quinn checks it out and develops her plan of action.

Dining Room Decor Tips:

Mix vintage finds with modern furniture to give a room character.
Use candles for instant atmosphere.
If you use seat covers make sure they are durable and washable.
Help a small dining space appear bigger by using armless dining chairs.

Finding the Perfect Dining Room Table:

When picking a dining room table, make sure you take into account its shape and your lifestyle. A round table is great for conversation, but isn't great for accommodating lots of guests. A large rectangular table is great for entertaining.
Keep in mind the table's material. A glass table is nice for a small space. Glass tables make a space appear bigger.
Hardwood tables are more durable and long lasting.
