If you love French countryside dining areas, you will absolutely need French Country kitchen tables to achieve the rustic and charming look

Many people own a traditional dining room furniture set that is dull and boring.  Here are a few ways to modernize that traditional dining room furniture set to make it more interesting and up to date.   UpholsteryMost dining room chairs are sold with basic white upholstery that is covered in plastic.  To modernize your chairs and make them more unique, reupholster them in a fabric that coordinates with your decor.  Changing out the fabric on dining chair seats is a rather quick and easy DIY project, however reupholstering the backs takes a bit more effort and may require a professional.  Instead of using one fabric on the seat, front of the back, and back of the back, consider using 3 different fabrics to make your chairs truly custom.  Do not use any fancy or intricate fringe on your upholstery that tends to look very traditional.   Photo by Nate Fischer Interiors - Look for dining room design inspiration SeparateMatching furniture sets are no longer in fashion.  Instead of keeping all of your dining room furniture pieces in the dining room, consider moving them around throughout your home.  You can swap your breakfast room table with your dining room table.  Your china hutch can be either a display cabinet or a bookcase in your living room.  Your sideboard can be an entry table or console table behind your sofa.   Photo by Artistic Designs for Living, Tineke Triggs - Browse dining room photos PaintSo many people are afraid to paint stained wood, but you should not be afraid.  If you dislike your dining room furniture, leaving it alone will not help.  Consider painting the pieces in a fun color, or even a metallic color, for a more modern look.  While you are painting, also paint your walls either a bold color or a pure white.   Photo by Vendome Press - Discover dining room design ideas AccessoriesUsing modern accessories in your dining room will make the furniture also feel more modern.  Select a modern graphic rug, interesting curtains, a unique chandelier, bold artwork, and other one of a kind accessories to make your dining room less traditional looking.
