Just add a few mismatched chairs, accessorise with a complimenting hanging light and bring in a new fresh look to your old dining room, without pondering over the budget a lot.

Use recycled wood

Deal wood, also known as reclaimed wood and considered soft as compared to teak is also a good option for a dining table. Since it can not be moulded in various shapes and can not be carved upon, it makes it a very reasonable and a perfect choice for a simple dining table. Team this simple table with the chairs of your choice, uni-color or multi-color and revamp your dining room in an environment friendly way.

Add cushions or rugs

Add a dash of colour to your dining room, by throwing in a rug and some cushions. When you need a change in the dining room and do not wish to replace or redo the furniture, this simple trick does the needful.

Use stools instead of chairs

Tree trunk stools give a very stylish yet rustic look, and are a great choice with respect to durability. These tree trunk stools, complimented with a low table and a rug are the right ingredients for a unique and stylish dining room.
