Everytime we need to start a project regarding the design of a room, there are a few things to take in consideration:

• The first thing is to decide what is the room for. Once we decided that this is going to be our dining room, for example, we need to continue with our process.
• Now to check the specifics for the room, such as the measurements of the room, the colours of the walls, and the type of floor we have, to make sure everything will blend harmoniously.
  
  

• The next thing we need to decide is how many people we need to sit at the table, regularly and during get-togethers. Do we need extra dining storage, like a credenza or display cabinet, when guests come over?

• What style of furniture do we like? Would you prefer solid wood, glass or metal?
• How do you want this space to feel? Does this room have a lot of natural light or will the furniture need to be lighter in hue to make the space feel larger?
• Are you looking for something different? Maybe we can choose neutral colours on the furniture with some accent colours on the accessories. Maybe we make a statement by choosing all chairs in different styles, or maybe all of them in different colours. Maybe a long bench on one of the sides. How wild can we go? To be honest, the sky is the limit!!! As long as we feel comfortable looking at it everyday, we can choose anything we want.

All these questions, if we are able to answer them thoroughly, are going to help us make better decisions. So you can create a beautiful room where all your favourite elements blend together, cohesively.
