Update your dining zone with carefully mixed and matched chairs
You don’t need to throw out your entire dining set for a change of scene; just replacing a few chairs will do. By bringing new seats into the picture, you put together a fun and fresh dining set; somewhat like playing musical chairs during dinner.

Paint a wall to refresh your space
A relatively quick and effortless way to transform your dining space is to change its wall colour. A vibrant colour can add depth to a space if the feature wall is further decorated with paintings or photographs. We especially love the use of bright hues, like the Nippon Paint Odour-less Premium all-in-one in Zing (8117).
