When you first design your dining room, you likely envision hosting large gatherings at the dining table all the time. Your busy life with its many obligations, however, likely eat into your entertaining time, and you may find that you aren’t able to use your dining table as often as you may like. This may have you wondering the best way to display your dining room table when it is not in use.

The idea of a dedicated dining room has changed dramatically over the years. The evolution of dining rooms has led to many current homes not having one. Instead, people turn dining rooms into multi-functional spaces that serve as home offices, gyms, playrooms, libraries, and more.

Making your home perfect for Christmas involves a lot of work and careful planning. After all, there are so many traditions wrapped up in this holiday, and many of these traditions involve specific decorations.

If you’re like a good chunk of today’s workforce, you spend a hefty amount of time working from home. A home office makes things easier, and creating a room that does double-duty makes a lot of sense. A popular combo is to combine a guest room and home office into one functional space.

Do you love having people stay overnight at your house? Are you the one friends and family know they can count on when they need a place to stay?

The holiday season is one of the best times to entertain friends and family in your home. It is the time of year for giving, eating, and showing off your holiday decorations. There are also endless reasons to host a gathering. Whether it’s Christmas, Christmas Eve, New Year’s, or just a winter reunion among old friends, there always seems to be a reason to throw a party in December. Hosting loved ones in your home is joyous, but it can also be a challenge if you have a small home with limited seating.

Are you all about creating the perfect tablescape during the holidays? You layer decorative chargers, candles, greenery, and more atop a festive table runner to ramp up the festive flair. Depending on your design style, you might enjoy a decked-out table any time of year. Consider trying a few creative twists on the traditional table runner to keep things interesting.

It just doesn’t feel like Christmas until there is a decorated and well-lit tree in the home. A Christmas tree certainly brings lots of joy and is the most iconic decoration of the holiday season. It is also usually where presents are stacked and opened up by families and loved ones as they gather around the tree on Christmas morning. For these and other reasons, having a Christmas tree can feel necessary, but what about when your space is limited?

When it comes to the sights and smells of Christmas, nothing is more symbolic than a decorated Christmas tree that smells of fresh pine. The Christmas tree is the centerpiece of this winter holiday, and pine is the signature smell.

When you finish painting your room, you probably can’t wait to return the rugs, furniture and accessories to their places. After all, you can’t tell exactly how great your freshly painted walls look until you see the room with all your belongings.

The holiday season wouldn’t be complete without Christmas decorations. Many people look forward to putting up Christmas decorations just as much as the gifts and holiday celebrations. So, when should you decorate for Christmas?
