After a hard day at work, few things bring more joy than sitting around the table with your friends and family and indulging in a hearty meal, with an extra side of smiles and laughter. So why not think about creating a space where everyone feels welcome, even pampered? There are quick ways to transform your dining room into a luxe space, so you can dine like royalty. We tell you how. 
 

 Grand Chandeliers
Nothing says luxe better than an arresting, glass and crystal chandelier. Don't just limit these stunning pieces to the living room, but bring them into the dining room as well. Apart from lighting up the dining room, it will also serve as a statement element, leaving you to do little else to amp the luxe factor.

Jewel Tones
Sapphire blues, emerald greens and ruby reds are all colours that inject instant shimmer into any space. When it comes to the dining room, think upholstery in rich velvet fabric in these deep, rich colours for a space that befits royalty. 

Detail Oriented
Don't skip the finer details in a rush to complete the larger picture. Finer touches such as clear crystalware, brass rivets on chairs, metallic napkin rings and gold trimmed plates will go a long way in ensuring your dining table looks impeccable.

Understated Elements
If you're not one to go all out with touches of bling and glitter, think about taking the more subdued route to luxury. This involves rich materials such as teak and oakwood, ceramic/cement tiles and matte polished furniture. Here, white plays a pivotal role in providing a bare canvas for the colours and clean lines to pop. Complete the look with a stylish lighting element, which you can choose to make the hero of the space. 

Texture Play
Another way to bring in a regal touch to your dining room is to layer with texture and patterns. This gives your freedom to bring in more colours and materials - whether complementing or offering delicious contrast. Wallpapers with heavy prints, a multicoloured tufted rug, low hung chandelier and several potted greens paired with faux fur are the highlights of this space, where as the transparent chair and low-key table dissolve into the wonderful tapestry.
