There are a multitude of ways to create a central point for your dining space - and everything much more chic and subtle than the Christmas decorations 1970s style.
Whether you have a spacious dining room with several features that are not quite come together, or live in an open smaller space that needs a dining room to feel more separate, creating a visual center is a clever design trick. Moreover, it need not be expensive. Interpret the trend with colors, materials and flowers that work for you - so long as we receive an invitation to dinner so we can admire your work ...

We are all in favor of bending the rules - and told centers have to be neutral? This New York City loft is not afraid to go out on a limb with a super-wide picture and a pair of industrial fires.

Reflect luster
A chandelier is the centerpiece of the most traditional of all, and remains as effective as ever. To add interest to a chandelier, mirror crystal light with backlit glass bells and a pile of pearly kittens reaching upward, as if to greet the light. Willow catkins, branches or flowers alliums reach this purpose beautifully.

Be bold with flowers
Monochrome tones and orderly shelf display add up to a clean sharp look. Fortunately, the stiffness is softened with flowers - a traditional idea given a modern twist with a super-thin vase. The pop of bright pink hydrangeas works brilliantly, but the great English flowers such as delphiniums and lilies have the same effect.

Color-block with mats and runners
Now this room table to eat in a streamlined kitchen of London has a pendant light above, but for me, it is the sun yellow placemats that really help the table feeling like a separate area.

Dodging the question
donation centers' t have to hang on the table. This ingenious wooden wine rack serves as a focal point for the table - and, one imagines, one point for customers to speak. Without it, the gray brick wall could feel hard enough, plus it is a great space saving in this extension of the city.

Hold a candle to it
When a table is parallel to a bar, a visual element helps keep a more formal area than the other. Here, a sculptural chandeliers trio works as a pure and simple arrangement. On a black racer, they are a simple and effective statement and, when night falls, they can add the magical candlelight.

Reflect the wow factor
the dining area has a holiday feel the year thanks to a long wall aquarium. The tank is the real centerpiece, with its natural color screen. Thus, the simple table setting reflects its theme, with a shell-shaped vase and coral-like flowers. If an astonishing work, mirror or wall takes a wall to honor his glory with a table display in a material or a similar color.

Add fruity flavor
Choose a fruit bowl interesting that acts as a focal point, but also helps to connect the table for the rest of the room. Here, the yellow splashes are found in the cushions, and the circular shape of the bowl is reflected in the artwork, the Bertoia chair and window. Subtle but clever.
