How to create the perfect Feng Shui dining room

We’re big Feng Shui fans, we admit it. Feng Shui's principles have gradually taken over every room in our house, and the dining room is simply no exception. It’s one of our favourite places, where we spend hours with family and friends eating meals and having long conversations. Today, we’re going to share the must have elements you absolutely for your Feng Shui kitchen.

Dining room furniture

Focus on creating open and clutter-free spaces when positioning your furniture. Depending on the configuration you choose, you’ll be able to create spaces that encourage conversation and long chats with friends. It’s important to keep things tidy, so focus on choosing practical furniture that offers plenty of in-built storage space.

The dining room is the perfect place to show off your famous glass jars and how well-ordered you’ve got everything. Items such as bookcases, the Alen bookcase in particular, will help you achieve a cosy atmosphere and give you storage space. There's a great pleasure in having an aesthetic, ordered space.

The dining table

Without a doubt, the key piece of the dining room. If you want to create a Feng Shui dining room, the table has to be round and light in colour. As you well know, a round shape helps to create a space where conversation flows and everyone can see each other’s faces – a must for Feng Shui. Of course, the colour of the table is very important too – we go for a wood colour or white. Here’s a model that we’re sure you’re going to like: the Argo table.

Dining room colours

The tones and colour palettes we choose are a very important part of our homes. You’ll need neutral or pastel colours for the walls and decor of your dining room – cream, beige, or white, for example. We recommend avoiding very strong colours or those with more intense tones. We recommend reserving vibrant tones for splashes and well placed touches of colour. The aim is to create a relaxing room that invites people to stay a while and feel at home.

Dining room lighting

On this point, we need to keep in mind that the lighting has to be warm and each space should have its own light with multiple options. We recommend having some candles too, for when it gets later, or using a portable lamp for extra lighting. Discover our new designs here.

The ideal décor for your dining room

In your Feng Shui dining room, ceramic vases, wool rugs and terracotta tiles are all crucial elements. Create a minimalist, natural centrepiece for the table using a tray made from natural fibres and a candle or vase. Add a big rug next to the table to create a more welcoming atmosphere.

Now you’ve got everything you need to get started with your transformation. Remember, only keep what you use and create a dining room that encourages tidiness and relaxation. And if you still want to learn more about Feng Shui, we've got plenty of articles for you on our blog. Read on!
