Luckily, a few small but thoughtful upgrades can\u202fmake a big impact in an out-of-date dining room without breaking the bank. After all, while a full renovation might be nice, many people don\u2019t have the time or the budget to completely redo their dining room. From reupholstering chairs to installing new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/window-blinds-shades-shutters-raleigh-nc\/\">window shutters in Raleigh, NC<\/a>, here are tips for updating your dining room:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Install Window Shutters<\/strong>\u2013 Get rid of old or outdated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/services\/\">window<\/a> treatments and invest in some new, modern ones. Since dining rooms are full of hard furniture like tables and chairs, try light or soft treatments like gauzy curtains or minimal treatments like subtle shutters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change Up Mirrors or Art<\/strong> \u2013 The mirrors, art, and other wall d\u00e9cor in your dining room add texture, style and color to the space. So, if you\u2019re feeling bored with the current design, a quick fix is to try out new pieces on the walls. Here\u2019s an expert tip: place a large mirror on the wall opposite windows to make the room feel brighter and bigger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invest in New Windows<\/strong> \u2013 Nothing makes a room more stylish, welcoming, and warm than an abundance of natural light. The best way to get more light in your dining room? Invest in replacement windows. Plus, new windows will also help make your home more energy efficient.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invest in a New Table<\/strong> \u2013 The central piece of any dining room is the dining table. Therefore, your dining table deserves a bigger budget than any other item in the space. If you choose to invest in a new dining table, be sure to consider size, style, ambiance, and maintenance. Choose a table that will stand up to daily use as well as long-term wear and tear, and also be sure to choose a table that will fit in the room and will fit your family and guests. You can also have some fun and look at tables with interesting features like leaves, storage compartments, and expandable sections.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2192 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/window-shutters-in-Raleigh-NC-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"window shutters in Raleigh, NC\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/window-shutters-in-Raleigh-NC-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/window-shutters-in-Raleigh-NC-768x537.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/window-shutters-in-Raleigh-NC-209x146.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/window-shutters-in-Raleigh-NC-50x35.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/window-shutters-in-Raleigh-NC-107x75.jpg 107w, https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/window-shutters-in-Raleigh-NC.jpg 785w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reupholster Dining Chairs<\/strong> \u2013 Frumpy or dated chairs can really bring your dining room down. While getting new chairs is fun, you can get the same effect simply by reupholstering your old ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Wallpaper<\/strong> \u2013 Wallpaper is making a serious comeback, especially in dining rooms. A dining room is a great place to play with accent walls, and nothing makes a quicker or easier accent wall than wallpaper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paint the Walls<\/strong> \u2013 A fresh coat of paint can go a long, long way towards updating a space. Try a modern, neutral color like grey or khaki, or have some fun and add an accent wall in a bright shade like coral.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you want more home tips or information on Raleigh, NC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/blog\/window-shutters-for-doors\/\">window shutters<\/a>?
