How to Transform Your Dining Room for Summer Gatherings

One of the best parts about summer is being able to enjoy delicious grilled meals with friends and family! It is time to transform your dining area for summer gatherings and we have some great tips for you to do this. Here at Eldon Furniture, we have a great selection of dining room tables for you to choose from! 

Choosing Furniture for Your Perfect Summer Dining Room

We recommend using a bench so extra people aren’t limited to chairs. This creates a welcoming and picnic vibe that everyone can enjoy. If you can find a bench with storage, that is even better! This will allow you to store cushions for more luxurious seating. Opt for furniture that is light and airy, this screams summer picnic gatherings. 


Chairs

A fun element to choosing dining room furniture is to play with the chairs! As shown below, the chairs on the longer side perfectly complement the accent chairs on the head of the table. Using a different pair of chairs made from a weave material is great for summer! Also notice the color choices and how the table and the chair cushions perfectly match, using the frame of the chairs to add some color and much-needed texture!


Storage Shelves

If you want to make life even easier for yourself, why not install some shelving units for dishes, glasses, cutlery, napkins, and anything else you might need? You can also use it to store some basic snacks and condiments, such as salt, ketchup, cookies, peanuts, potato chips, etc. That way, you won’t have to keep making trips to and from the kitchen.


Decorating

The best part after choosing your furniture is decorating your table! There are so many ways to do this. Make sure you have the theme in mind first! A great way to brainstorm is searching on Pinterest. For summer we would suggest using light colors with pastel accents. The below photo perfectly displays how you could do this. The light base of the placemats brings in the light while balancing the color with bluish-grey ceramic plates that mimic the blue summer sky or clouds. We love the wood table that brings in the earthy tones. 

Center Pieces are also a wonderful way to add character to your table setting. This can be done with a freshly picked arrangement of flowers, small sculptures or functional pieces. We always love using flowers or greenery during the summer months. Plus, the smell of fresh real flowers gives off the best floral aroma.


Final Details

Pick out a bright, colorful summer tablecloth, and decorate your table with fruit, flowers, and essential oils. Choose napkins with a beautiful design on them. And don’t forget to place jugs of fresh water and other drinks on the table!
