It's not really that hard to convert your dining room from a dull and boring area of your home into a classy and elegant space. Although it serves a single purpose, it doesn't have to look solitary, monotone, and simple. With the right creativity in mind, some high level of commitment, and tons of effort, you'll be transforming the space into something that will warrant positive feedback from your visitors. Here's out set of tips on how to do dining room improvement: First off, let's begin with a bunch of tips from Garden and Home, in an article titled "5 Tips for Improving Your Dining Room."

1. Use artwork as a focal point If there’s no fireplace or obvious fireplace, invest in a striking artwork to do the job instead. The oversized black and white photographic print seen below almost fills the entire wall; as its colouring echoes the other shades used throughout the space, it creates just the right sense of drama, arresting the eye without being overbearing. 2. Use mirrors to enlarge Mirrors are the answer to making compact or dark areas look and feel larger and brighter than they are in real life. This oversized mirror (covering the right hand side wall) opens up the room to create a magical sense of infinite space; note how it not only balances the artwork in terms of scale, but how both frames are also beautifully balanced, dark on light and vice versa. 3. Use a rug as a base Introducing a rug that’s a contrasting colour to the rest of your flooring is an easy way to draw attention to your dining table and chairs. The almost grey/gold art silk rug in the above image was laid over the travertine tiles to anchor the table and chairs in the middle of the room; its plush pile also allows the chairs to be moved back and forth softly and easily. Table 4. Highlight the table Another way to ensure your dining table takes centre stage is to highlight it with a chandelier or pendant light. Hanging from the ceiling as if by magic, these black metal tubular light fittings from Foresight Design certainly make a statement; they’ve been arranged in a pleasing cluster of seven and are hung at varying heights over the table. 5. Display complementary flowers For a harmonious feel, ensure that your flower arrangements complement the styling of your revamped dining room. There are no blurred edges here; everything is sharply etched and neatly done. Source: http://www.gardenandhome.co.za/decor/makeovers/5-tips-for-improving-your-dining-room

You already have a dining table that you can use as center stage, you can get flowers from your garden, and even get one of the many artwork you have in other parts of the home to place in the dining area. So the only thing you need to invest in is your creative mind. The way you ideally place and position your stuff in the dining space will make a huge improvement on how it'll look. Furthermore, here is another bunch of tips, this time from the article "7 Easy Ways to Update Your Dining Room" courtesy of Vogue.com:

1. Update your tablescape Draw your attention to your table and create a beautiful moment. From fresh new table linens to a large vessel filled with fruit for a centerpiece, the options are endless and can be easily updated with objects already in your home. 2. Add a statement piece Making a bold statement in your room is not limited to a large chandelier. Instead, try swapping out the chairs at the head of the table for ones with a bit more personality—the mix of styles and patterns make for texture and visual interest. 3. Use the ceiling as your fifth wall Don’t forget to look up! The ceiling is a great place to explore a bold paint color or a bit of wallpaper, or for adding an element of architecture like ceiling medallions. In addition to dressing up the space, a darker color can create the sense of depth, making the room appear larger. 4. Make the most of your bar cart While your bar cart is predominately to show off your favorite bottles, it is also a place to add some unique accent pieces. Style it with beautiful glasses, vintage stemware, and brass accessories for a bit of flair. 5. Set the mood Nothing kills a mood more than a bright, blaring light, so go ahead and add a dimmer to the light source in your dining room. Matched with a few candles, the soft light will have you glowing in no time. 6. Bring in a mirror Place a large, unique mirror above the console, buffet, or bar cart in your dining room. In addition to making the space feel much bigger, it adds a touch of luxury. 7. Dress up the floor Don’t make the mistake of sizing the rug too small. If you pull out the chair from the table and it slips off the edge of the carpet, it’s too small. This makes the table feel like an island, compartmentalizing the room. Try going oversize and having the edge of the rug come closer to the wall. See the original article by visiting this link.

In the end, you don't make your dining room just a place for comfort and feast; you also can transform it into something that's a beauty to look at. It won't make any sense at all if your living room, patio, and other parts of the home are decorated very well while your dining looks out of place.
