The addition of a mirror in a star shape on the mantelpiece really adds a pow in this room. Tie the look together with glass, silver and other reflective accessories.

Go big on art wall
Think beyond the two dimensions when it comes to your wall art. For greater impact, giant neon letters worked a treat and evoke a carnival atmosphere. Colored wall behind subdued will sing your display.

Be bold with lighting
Think theatrical and opt for multiple eye-catching hanging lamps suspended at different heights. Consider mixing colors and materials, too. You can also create your own group of vintage shades or customize old top hat - with the help of an electrician - for dramatic pendants on a budget.

Invest in a window table
the dining table is the star of the show, so consider other materials as wood for added wow. The marble is elegant and perfect for a chic atmosphere. Composite modern marble (marble crushed in resin) are also available which are more durable than natural stone.

Consider table form
a rectangular table is the default, , but a circular or square shape with chairs pairs on each side can be more sociable if you entertain many customers. For maximum impact, make it as big as the room allows, with a statement of light that corresponds to the scale of the table.
Before buying, consider creating a paper template using table dimensions to ensure that there is sufficient leeway -. and no costly mistakes

Use large-scale wallpaper
A big reason is often more dramatic than a smaller one. If you have the luxury of a separate dining room, consider covering the four walls, but a feature wall can also work well.
If you're tempted by the dramatic model, but want a more understated look, try breaking the walls with dado rail and paint the upper part in a shimmering shade block.
