Kitchen Dining Décor Ideas for Timeless Spaces

Creating an inviting and a cohesive kitchen & dining area not only enhances the overall ambiance but functionality too. 
The first step is to choose a unified color scheme. One can go for soft neutrals such as light gray, beige, white, etc. These shades allow for a clean backdrop so as to add accents in a variety of colors and shades. Colors such as terracotta, olive green and navy add personality and warmth. 
Lighting is yet another essential element for kitchen & dining. Layered lighting works wonders when it comes to these areas. Overhead pendants over the breakfast counters and chandeliers above the dining tables bring instant charm. Add task lighting such as cabinet lights for better visibility and accent lighting for open shelves or art work. 
Adopt open shelving as it can bring a decorative charm combined with practicality. These areas can be used to display glass jars, small potted herbs, dishware, dry goods, etc. It also creates balance between closed cabinetry and open shelves to avoid clutter.
Add timeless dining tables with comfortable seating in the dining area. Soft cushions and upholstered chairs can be added for warmth. A centerpiece such as a vase with fresh flowers, a glass bowl with seasonal fruits or a set of scented candles are a perfect addition without overwhelming the overall space. 
Kitchen & dining areas too can be personalized. Those who have space can add stylish bar carts and display their favorite wines and drinks. Those who love having guests over, can display their favorite crockery in glass units. Wall art, decorative clocks and mirrors too will do the trick. 
Do not forget the flooring. What ties a kitchen and dining together is the floor furnishings. Don’t hesitate to add a rug or a carpet to bring in some character to the room. 
Combine personal touches with practical choices to make these areas functional and beautiful whilst making memories
