Dining Room Eam: In today's homes the space for dining room eam may be the traditional separate room or, especially in city apartments, an area set off from the rest of the living room, foyer, kitchen, or other room. Whichever, it should provide, simply, a comfortable place to eat.
If the dining room eam area is a room open to view from other rooms, its colors should be carefully related to those of adjoining rooms; for example, it may be in lighter, calmer values of a brilliant living room scheme. If the dining room eam area is part of another room, the furnishings of both areas must be imaginatively related in character and color scheme.
The limits of the dining room eam space may be indicated by a change in Wall or Floor treat¬ment or by using a piece of furniture, such as a screen or chest, as a room divider.
In a period dining room eam room, a strongly colored Wall enhances the grain and polish of softly glowing wood furniture.

For many dining room eam rooms, a waxed and polished wood Floor sets off an area rug that is placed under the Table and extends far enough beyond it so that the chairs may be pushed back without hitting the wood floor.See Also Dining Room Turquoise:Sparkling glassware will always make a room feel brighter and more vibrant as it catches the Light and adds sparkle.
