also, the dining room gives extra space to store many items not in use daily.\u00a0 Whether you plan to renovate or convert an existing room into a dining room, do your research and design your dining room carefully to get the most out of your space. \u00a0Here are tips that may help you make better use of your dining room.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Consider buying an expanding dining room table.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0 By adding table leaves, you can accommodate as many people as necessary.\u00a0 Allow a minimum of 32 inches between the edge of your dining room table and the nearest wall or another piece of furniture.\u00a0 This gives enough room for people to move the chair back, an important consideration in dining room design plans.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Install built-in sideboard.\u00a0 A combination of china cabinets, open shelves, and drawers can house a range of accessories for the table.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Fine china can be displayed in a glass-front china cabinet as a decorative showpiece.\u00a0 Objects that are displayed in a dining room should be appropriate to the general style of the room:\u00a0 If you have a formal dining room, keep everyday dishes, flatware, holiday dinnerware, serving utensils, and linen concealed in cabinets, drawers, or a sideboard.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Install a dimmer switch in the dining room.\u00a0 A very bright light in the dining room may make guests feel uncomfortable.\u00a0 With a dimmer switch, you can control the lighting for each occasion with a turn of a knob.
