Now that dining room furniture buying season is almost upon
us, your design-maven friends at Jerusalem Furniture are giving you a quick
overview of what’s hot in home dining decor for 2019 in this first fall blog post
for the year. It’s natural as shadows lengthen and there’s a hint of cold in
the breeze to think of homecoming, gathering for meals. That’s a big part of
the holidays next to presents and seeing loved ones, right? That’s why beautiful,
elegant dining room furniture is much in demand during the cooler autumn
months. Let’s look at a few trends to make choosing your dining table and
chairs FUN!
Mix’n’Match Dining Tables and Chairs
A continuing trend over recent years in cool dining room furniture
is to just say NO to matchy-matchy! The idea is to creatively break design
rules by artfully mismatching your dining table and seating. One way to pull
off this look is to use a matching color scheme. The only hard and fast rule
to make this mismatch game work is to make sure all your dining chairs are the
same height and of course fit under the table you’ve chosen!
The Word for Dining Furniture This Fall: Eclectic!
If you’re redoing your dining room furniture this autumn,
think eclectic, even employing styles you think would clash! The trick is to find
styles that cleverly complement each other and DON’T really clash. For example,
a sleek ultramodern metal dining table with Victorian-style dining armchairs or
even rough-hewn wood dining benches that kids love. Other design ideas for this
approach include glam-meets-industrial or Queen Anne dining chairs paired with
a tempered-glass dining table. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination!
Funky Dining Room Lighting
Once you’ve got your dining table and complementary,
non-matching dining chairs picked out, rethink the traditional dining room chandelier
for something like pendant lighting or a cool retro atomic starburst look for
modern decor. In this fall are unusual, even asymmetrical light shapes and odd
textures. Wicker lighting is also popular.
Be it a kitchen dinette with fun pub-height tables and stools
or an extension table for your grand holiday gatherings, you’ll always find quality
top brands for ultra-low prices at our Bensalem, PA store showroom and other
Jerusalem Furniture locations!
