Dining out for reunion dinner may not be a good idea when you anticipate a large crowd every year. Restaurants are also offering delicious menu sets for delivery and takeaway<\/a> to customers who want to have a hassle-free family reunion meal. Whether you wish to cook or have your food delivered, how about getting your home ready with these dining room makeover tips to keep the festive joy alive?<\/p>\n

Dress Up Your Wall<\/h2>\n

\"Three-generation<\/p>\n

The colour of your wall can instantly spruce up your dining room. This is the most common dining room makeover tip.<\/p>\n

There are 4 simple ways to dress up your wall: a fresh coat of paint, wallpaper, wall d\u00e9cor and artwork.<\/p>\n

Depending on the mood you want to project, a cheerful colour will enhance the festive vibe during the dining experience.<\/p>\n

But what if you like your elegant dark walls? Then, try brightening the area with vibrant artwork. A pop of colour with statement art pieces will certainly get the conversation rolling.<\/p>\n

Add a Rug<\/h2>\n

\"Geometric<\/p>\n

What if your dining room is just an open area between the living room and the kitchen? In such an instance, having a feature wall especially for your dining area may not be viable.<\/p>\n

So, what do you do? Roll out the rug.<\/p>\n

Besides subtly demarcating the dining area, a rug will instantly elevate the dining room with posh vibes.<\/p>\n

This is the least elaborate dining room makeover tip that yields surprising results.<\/p>\n

Lighting<\/h2>\n

Lighting can create different moods and enhance the look and feel of the dining room. Create a warm ambience with pendant lighting.<\/p>\n

Depending on the size of your dining table, you can opt for a stylish single pendant light to multiple pendant lights.<\/p>\n

Good lighting not only sets the tone of the dining room, it brings out the colours of your d\u00e9cor and makes the food look more tantalising.<\/p>\n

Red and Gold Colour-Themed D\u00e9cor<\/h2>\n

Since it is a Chinese New Year reunion dinner, decorate your dining room with red and gold accents. This can range from the dinnerware to the table runner that you use.<\/p>\n

Do you have very plain looking dining chairs? Dress them up with comfy red chair pads<\/a> to complete the festive look.<\/p>\n

Hang Out by the Kitchen Island<\/h2>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

A kitchen island is a great addition to the home as you can use it for food prep and dining. Modern dining rooms now incorporate a dining table extension to the kitchen island.<\/p>\n

It could be in a contrasting material (stone countertop and wooden table) or just one material such quartz<\/a> in varying heights for a sleek look. Quartz countertops are also easy to maintain and clean up<\/a> after a meal.<\/p>\n

Create an Eye-Catching Centrepiece<\/h2>\n

We love pretty centrepieces. The most common centrepieces are flower arrangements. However, this may not be suitable if you\u2019re having a traditional Chinese reunion dinner.<\/p>\n

If flowers aren\u2019t practical, how about a luscious fruit centrepiece? After the meal, you can have some fruits for dessert. It makes a pretty awesome zero-waste centrepiece.<\/p>\n

Mix and Match Seating Furniture<\/h2>\n

\"Quirky<\/p>\n

If buying matching furniture is a strain to your budget, try this cool tip: Mismatched chairs.<\/p>\n

Now, we aren\u2019t talking about buying just any chair. Even mismatched furniture needs to complement each other without looking like a design disaster.<\/p>\n

You can select a combination of the following characteristics to achieve an eclectic look that creates a statement:<\/p>\n
