3 Ways to Redecorate Your Dining Room for Spring
Your dining room may not be used on a daily basis, but when it is used, you want it look good for all those brunches and cocktail parties you’re famous for. But just because you want to make a good impression on your guests, doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune on sprucing up the space. With a few well-chosen, eye-catching (and affordable!) statement pieces, you can make your dining room look *v* expensive. This week’s edition of Decor Resolutions will show you how to update your dining room for the ultimate relaxed, yet chic and inviting atmosphere where guests will actually want to linger. Scroll on to see how we’d style the dining room for a boho-chic space, the minimalist abode and a preppy home.
Since boho-chic style is funky, colorful and eclectic, it’s easy to pull off in a casual dining space. You can use almost any accessory to get the look: Queue up floral art, metallic accents and bring in lots of textures to amp up the coziness factor. Layer multiple rugs on the floor, or use faux fur as a cushion on the chair. Wire accents and faux taxidermy set the boho tone for a fun and free-spirited look that’s in touch with nature, but still edgy and modern.

HOW TO DECORATE A MINIMALIST DINING ROOM
You — yes, you! — can step up your average dining room decor with an affordable minimalist makeover. Be sure to keep the color palette neutral, but add one or two accent colors with either wall art or seating. Texture will add an extra dimension to the room, with either natural wood candles or a rustic table. Minimalism and metallics go together like PB&J, so don’t be afraid to mix gold, copper and silver together to add a touch of luxe.
