New Homes Raleigh NC

Formal Dining Rooms

Top Trends, Styles, and Ideas for Your New Home

If you're adding decorative touches to at least one room in your new home, consider the place where you meet to eat: the formal dining room. 

A formal dining room often sets the tone for the rest of the home, as the place your family, friends and special guests gather for a while to relax while they eat.

It is also nearly always located very prominently near the front entrance of your new home, where your special touches will be noticed right away. 

 

 

Archway entrances to the formal dining room emphasize sweeping lines and open space, setting the dining room apart as a separate entertaining area.

 

Multiple color treatments and an unusual darker accent for the crown moulding and baseboard give the dining area a luxurious feel.

 

Picture frame wainscoating adds more depth and formal appeal, when it uses a deeper tone in the same color range. 

 

 

 

 

 

The arch theme works especially well when it is carried from the front entrance to the formal dining room.

Chair rail adds another layer of contrast that blends the color scheme.

The paint tones work well with the site finished hardwood flooring.

Watch a video tour of this home - click here.

 

 

 

Dramatic lighting, a multi-dimensional tray ceiling, and lots of openings accent this formal dining room.

The built in Butler's Pantry in painted, glazed maple offers plenty of storage space for china and crystal ware, with a display area above.

A cut out window in your new home adds more spaciousness through natural light, drawing further attention to the dining room. 

Watch a video tour of this home - click here.

 

 

 

Grecian pillars add elegance and dimension.  Different designs change the dining room's personality. This one features cherry wood inlay at the bottom of the pillars, for a bolder setting.

This dining room features a simple crown moulding, two tone color scheme with dark red contrast, and picture frame wainscoating.

A trey ceiling would add additional depth and complexity.

 

 

 

A well planned dining room can even accomodate for furniture, such as an heirloom dining room chest or a fabulous china hutch you'd like to set apart.

Your builder can add a furniture niche, with angles that really set apart crown moulding and wainscoating.

Even if the rest of your new home is painted neutral, your dining room can be the one spark of color that stands out - even if it's just a darker neutral.  

 

 

Take advantage of all the possibilities for your dining room in your new home. You may be surprised at how much you can do, without a lot of cost. 

Before you build, tour homes and take photos of your favorite ideas. 

Bring them to your builder along with pictures from magazines or websites, when you talk about your floor plan.

A good builder can help you plan a perfect dining room that fits your entertaining style and budget, with details that will make your new home a very special place - beginning with your dining room.

March Furniture Manufacturing offers Custom Upholstered Furniture

Choose from 70 Styles and Hundreds of Fabrics

March Furniture Manufacturing  is the latest partner in the "Stanton Homes for Heroes" program, offering discounts on its upholstered furniture collections to veterans and military personnel who buy a Stanton Home.

March is a North Carolina based producer of custom upholstery at mid-range prices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

March Furniture Manufacturing was founded in 1992 with 22 employees and has grown to a force of 250 employees.

The majority work in Ramseur NC at a 210,000 square foot facility.

March Furniture manufactures living room furniture including sofas (including sofa-beds and reclining sofas), chairs, loveseats, recliners, sectionals, and other upholstered pieces in a wide variety of sizes and configurations.

 

 

March Furniture sells primarily to furniture wholesalers and retailers.

The public can only buy direct from the company at the March Factory Store, which is located about a mile from the factory, on Highway 64 in Ramseur NC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Customers can come to the store to see March Furniture's entire line of furniture, including hundreds of pieces in 70 different styles, with a choice of millions of combinations of designer fabrics that can be selected from fabric samples available at the store.

 

Customers can choose from hundreds of fabrics to create an upscale designer look to fit the color scheme and personality of any living room.

 

 

 

Custom orders are produced at the March Furniture Manufacturing factory using high quality materials and expert craftsmanship. 

Production consistently takes less than two weeks - an unusually fast turnaround time which is virtually unheard of in the furniture industry.

 

 

 

 

 

March Furniture also produces "All-in-a-Box" sets in eight different collections designed to coordinate with their upholstery groups.

These sets include a cocktail table, two end tables, two lamps, and a variety of coordinating accessories, such as vases, trays, bowls, picture frames, clocks, and other decorative items.

The sets were recently spotlighted in the furniture industry's premiere publication, Furniture Today.  

 

 

"March is excited to be joining the 'Stanton Homes for Heroes' program," said Brian Boyers, President of March Furniture. "It gives us another way to show our appreciation for the men and women who have been protecting our American freedom, doing difficult jobs that help guarantee our way of life."
