Interior Design Ideas to Perk-up Your Dining Room

I'm sure I'm not the only person who quickly tires of a colour scheme or the way furniture is arranged. I'm one of those people who twiddle, adjust and re-adjust until the room is just right! There are some easy ways your can perk-up a room without having to go the trouble and expense of completely decorating – my kind of budget interior design!

Large rugs have to be the first way to bring colour and texture into any room and this includes the dining room. Even though the rug may be virtually covered by the table we don't look at our homes with a bird's eye view and therefore the colour can be seen peeking out each time we walk into the room.

As summer's not too far away it's a great time of year to add bold colours, they'll cheer you and your dining room up! Bright, bold colours – with or without a pattern can transform the whole dynamics of a dining room. You can even colour clash – for example using hot pink with lipstick red – to really bring the room alive. Mix patterned fabric with plain and if you're feeling really flamboyant you can also revive tired looking furniture with a lick of bright pink paint!
