Planning to purchase a one-of-a-kind dining-room table and transform the dining area?
Since the dining room is the heart of a home where the family congregates, guests are entertained, deep discussions are held and ideas take birth, it is a space to be treated with utmost respect and consideration while designing. Duvall & Co suggests considering the following factors before the big decision:
The function: Is the intention of the dining space to host a casual or a formal affair? Will the usual get-togethers involve small or large groups? Perhaps a dining-room table and a kitchen table, both, are required? Is storage and serving of formal dinnerware a requirement? The answers to these questions will lay the foundation of an aesthetically appealing as well as a functional dining room.
The focal point: A unique, custom-wood table proves to be the usual focal point in a dining area. This piece of furniture defines the essence of the space and helps choose the supporting furniture, art pieces, and colors that will complement it. From rectangular and square tables to circular and oval shapes, Duvall & Co handcrafts dining-room tables made with solid furniture-grade maple as well as other wood species a client requests. How about a rare live-edge table that is nothing short of a masterpiece?
Personal style: Every house is a celebration of its inhabitants -- their taste, their hobbies, and their roots. Whether the look chosen is classic, modern, minimalistic or eclectic, it must be relatable and inviting for both the residents and the guests. Accessorize with beautiful mirrors, rare pieces of art, family photographs, colorful masks, and greenery. Adorn the dining table with fragrant candles and a floral centerpiece. Every accessory must represent the personality of the owner and complement the overall look of the space.
Lighting: Choosing the right height, right shape, and right intensity of the lighting in a dining area is crucial to defining the atmosphere. Additionally, positioning wall washers to highlight an art piece or a creative corner can elevate a guest experience significantly.
Colors and textures: A sophisticated look is complemented by deeper colors on walls with light-colored furniture and furnishings. A soothing ambiance can be created with beige walls while a pale yellow with white can make the room cheerful. Bold colors and unique textures can set apart the dining space from the usual run-of-the-mill looks. Even a quirky mix and match of furnishings can bring a zing into an otherwise ordinary ambiance. Customized flooring can accentuate the look of the dining-room table and the ambiance. If chosen well, the right colors can make the dining area the most inviting and inhabited space in the house.
Understandably, all these considerations may seem daunting while choosing a dining table or designing a dining room. Therefore, Duvall & Co is pleased to offer its complimentary, interior design services for the dining space along with the purchase of its custom-built, dining-room table.
