Thanksgiving is right around the corner, which means basting turkey, mashing potatoes, and prepping one special place for guests: The Dining Room. People across the country will pull out all the stops to make sure the dining table is dressed and ready to receive the most lauded meal of the year. But what good is a gorgeously set table if the room needs a little spruce?
While the rise of the open floor plan has led to a slight decline in the formal dining room, that doesn't mean these eating and entertaining areas are any less crucial for the holiday. Whether the paint’s peeling, the floorboards creak, or the space is just too small for a growing family, homeowners will be turning to professional remodelers to increase the flow and functionality of their dining spaces for the day they carve the turkey.
In honor of Thanksgiving, we have assembled seven of our favorite dining rooms to whet your design appetite this holiday season.
