Pull up a seat Make every meal a dinner party with a crafty sideboard, inviting chairs and plenty of conversation pieces  Image courtesy iStockphoto Is your dining room functional, festive and friendly? Or does it get used twice a year and gather dust the rest of the time? You can increase your use of the room by making it a more friendly space, and improve its appeal by adding creative touches that reflect your personal style. Start with the furniture; tackle the chairs and sideboard to inject personality and emotion into a stale dining room. Spice up the Seating First things first: Are the chairs and the seating arrangement working as hard as they can? If your dining room suite is old and tired and the budget won’t stretch to buy new, consider painting each of your chairs in a different color, or paint the host and hostess chair in one color and the rest in another. A table with six mismatched chairs can look charming. Make sure they have the same seat height and at least one design element in common (they can be made from the same wood, be from the same period or be similar in their overall shape, for example.) Or, unify them by painting them all in the same color. Make a matching set of six chairs more interesting by replacing the host and hostess chair with larger, upholstered pieces. Use the leftover chairs elsewhere in the house. To make after-dinner conversations more comfortable, make or purchase color-coordinated pillows and lean them on the back of each chair. A Stylish Sideboard Most homes have a traditional hutch or sideboard positioned in the dining room to display china and glassware. Buying one when you purchase your dining table and chairs is the safe way to go, but if you dare to be different there are other options. Try a six-drawer bedroom dresser, which offers storage and display. A sofa, settee or love seat positioned in the dining room will add color as well as new seating. Other options: -A hall table with an antique trunk underneath -A Japanese tansu, or traditional wooden chest fitted with iron hardware -A credenza -A long board resting across two saw horses, draped in yards of a wonderful fabric When displaying your treasures in a hutch or other display case, remember to group like objects together, weed out clutter and lean plates up behind your stemware. Row after row of dusty goblets are boring. Store some of them out of sight and rotate clusters of them between groupings of other objects.
