Homeowners are taking that bold step when it comes to choosing colors when designing their cabinetry. The trick here is if you opt to go bold with color, be it blues, shades of yellow and greens on your cabinets, and keep the overall kitchen look toned down. This ensures the kitchen remains elegant and modern without being too busy. You can use elements such as wood and marble to achieve this.

3. Tinted Glass

It’s not just all about wood and metal trends in the kitchen this year. Mirrored cabinetry is making its way into the current trends and this style will run all the way to 2025.

Top 10 Dining Area Ideas For 2024

The Stem Has It!

There is more to a dining table than just a place where people gather to share a meal. A dining table is a statement piece that speaks about you. I’m talking about a set that describes your personality and style. A look at this chic style of a dining table with an eye catching pedestal base. This extra large stem is a conversation starter for the aesthetics especially on the base.

2. Consider Adding A Bench

Whether you’re limited on space or are switching to this modern dining table style. A dining table with a bench whether upholstered or metal still offers elegance. Best part of using a bench is it allows you to accommodate more people in your dining area, works perfectly for a small space. You can simply push it underneath the table or move the bench to another room say the kitchen without the dining looking too cluttered.

3. Get Your Glass Tinted

A buffet cabinet is an essential piece of furniture that is used for serving food and displaying dining items such as dishes, bowls and serving platters. The latest trend in modern buffet cabinet focuses on mixing materials and designs. Minimalist designs such as the mid century look offer clean lines that adds a touch of elegance to a dining room. You can also mix materials such as wood and glass for that stylish look. Apart from design and materials pick a color that adds draws attention yet blends in with the room’s interiors such as black, whites or a rich brown.

4. Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

Mirrors play a huge role in transforming your interiors. It adds a touch of elegance and acts as a focal point to a room. You can use mirrors on an empty wall to charm your space. In the dining room, a mirror works perfectly highlighting the best features in the area. From the ceiling, it highlights things like the chandelier to the lighting. Putting a big mirror in a small dining room makes it appear more spacious. Mounting a statement mirror in your dining room leaves everyone with an unforgettable visual element. It all cuts down to choosing the right size and design that suits you.

5. Get An Adjustable Baby Feeding Chair

Babies grow so fast and trying to keep up with the growth rate and them outgrowing a furniture they have used for a short period sucks. When feeding your baby opt for an adjustable feeding chair that accommodates your baby’s growth. The feeding chair is suitable for babies as young as 6 months when they are fully stable to the age of a toddler and of different sizes. You can adjust the height to find a suitable feeding condition. If you’re worried about your baby’s comfort, this chair can be added a backrest and soft seat cushion to prioritize on their comfort.

6. It’s The Grain That Matters!

When it comes to choosing the right table top for your dining it can be a daunting task. There are a lot of different shapes, designs and material to choose from. Even if you’re cutting it down to wood as your choice, the different types of wood are like the ocean, wide variety to choose from. Solid wood are the most popular choices, Meru oak for example gives you that light and beautiful grain. Teak on the other hand is hailed for durability and weather resistance. Meaning it can work well indoors and outdoors. Mango wood serves as a solid hard wood perfect for your dining room. It has a beautiful golden brown and yellow color but should be kept put of direct sunlight to prevent cracks.

7. Choose A Multi-functional Furniture

There is endless possibilities when it comes to furniture. For example using a pouf as a coffee table, a sofa as a bed and a dining table that serves as a study table. In an era where working from home has become a thing let’s add another function of a dining table aside from a place to share meal. Especially if you’re limited on space this is a game changer. Your dining table becomes a workplace during working hours and a place to dine during meal time. You can opt for extendable tables with variable dimensions. This would mean tables with stretching mechanisms. Sometimes you can be required to free up your space especially if you’re living in a small apartment. Tables and chairs that are foldable works perfectly.

8. The chairs that makes all the difference

As we have seen a lot happens in the dining area from sharing meals to studying and even working. For this reason choosing the perfect seating comes as a must have. There is a wide variety to choose from in terms of materials and designs that align with you. Wooden chairs for example offer that classic and natural appeal. Upholstered chairs are not just elegant but offer comfort and cater for your posture i.e back support.

9. Add A Statement Wine Cabinet

Traditionally wine rack was purely to store or display wine bottles at home amd restaurant. In the modern world, a wine rack takes up a new role of aesthetics and adding style to the dining room. You can custom make a wine rack with a unique design such as a minimalist design, one with a geometric pattern that makes it a conversation starter and a focal point to your dining area. It only plays the traditional role of storing and showcasing your wine collection but adds as splash of elegance to your space.

10. Go Big or Go Home on Dining Tables!

If you are into hosting then a large dining table is a must have. A large dining table is a perfect way to entertain your guests as people gather to share meals. This is because a large table offers ample space to host more people. A grand table allows you to make people talking as you are able to display and serve people using your best dishes and silverware. More to that you’ll leave a lasting impression with a large dining table since you’re able to serve a variety of dishes all together accommodating people’s different taste.

The Beauty Of Mango Wood

Unlocking the rise of mango wood in interior design

Hello and welcome to another exciting edition of Furniture Digest by Impala Furniture , this week’s edition is a topic close to heart, something our clients are fond of and have developed an extra liking for. I’m talking about the good old Mango wood furniture. Before we look at samples and it’s décor, let’s first define what Mango wood furniture is, for the newbies who are either looking to get a piece or into the interior design. From the name it simply means produced from mango tree, the tree that produces our favorite sweet, juicy fruit.

Mango wood is categorized as a hardwood this basically means it is strong and durable making it just perfect for furniture. Let’s get into reasons you should consider getting yourself a mango wood furniture for your space, well apart from the strong factor of its durability, which by the way also means that it does not wear out easily. Another key point to note that will make you smile all the way is the money factor. I mean it’s always all about the money. Picture this, a durable wood that is budget friendly at the same time, sweet deal isn’t it?

It might sound too good to be true but here’s the reason why sustainable wood is cheap. Mangos take an average of 10-15 years to grow and after it’s productivity it basically losses it’s value because it’s less productive in terms of harvesting the fruit itself. This means new trees are now planted in order to continue producing the fruits leaving the old unproductive ones for usage in making things like mango wood furniture.�

Let’s talk about the original color of mango wood, for some it comes in different shades but naturally mango wood’s original color is a beautiful golden brown. The wood is usually discolored changing to different colors, you may be familiar with its yellow or pink shade or probably the black tint across its surface. If it’s unstained and only a clear wax is applied it appears dark. When stained it produces a rich deep brown color.

So back to why mango wood is a nice pick apart from it’s beautiful color in terms of appearance. Mango wood is easy to cut unlike it’s relatives in the hard wood family. This makes it easy to work with even cutting the desired shape is easy.

Just like any other wood, learning how to care for any material is usually the game changer. For mango wood it wears out with frequent spillage so wipe any liquid on it immediately for proper maintenance. Be very careful when cleaning your mango wood, in terms of harsh chemicals that could damage the finish, you definitely do not want your beautiful crafted piece looking like an item that just survived world war 1.

On that note, there is a way to keep it slaying by hydrating your furniture, regularly polishing your mango wood with furniture polish is the game changer. Good polish ensures its uniqueness remains and prevents it from cracking. You don’t want your favorite mango wood piece discolored right?it can all be ruined if left in exposure of direct sunlight, so you might be wary of placement when decorating your space and look into that.

Mango wood is a perfect pick for interior designers. It adds warmth to those spaces thanks to its aesthetic character that makes it a perfect décor for any piece. We are in a world of copying and going with trends and in a typical Kenyan household for example, tiles and traditional hardwood floors have taken over when it comes to flooring. To stand out why not add some of that mango wood, it’s a go big or go home world anyway and if you’re here it means you are taking interior design seriously and have a sense of taste in décor. In some cases mango wood is used in flooring for its water resistance characteristics making it a perfect combo in your home or office.
