Dining room table centerpieces can be instant focal points in the room.  Whether elegant or casual, the centerpiece reflects the mood of the room or helps to create one.  Using one bowl centerpieces for the dining room table are especially easy.  They are inexpensive and easy to create, plus they can quickly be changed out to fit holiday decor or dinner party themes.  When thinking about designing a one bowl centerpiece, use the ideas below to get started.

The Bowl

Choose a bowl that is versatile enough to coordinate with a variety of holidays and decorating ideas.  Although the basic decor of the dining room is unlikely to change from season to season, the added holiday accessories may alter the decor slightly.  Choosing a bowl that matches the room during all of its holiday transitions will keep clutter down and make it easy to switch from season to season and back again.  Opt for a neutral bowl material like ceramic, glass or wood for the most versatility.  Also consider the width and depth of the bowl.  For a small dining room table, a smaller, but taller bowl would look great.  However, for a longer dining room table, a wider, shallower bowl would work better to fill the space.

At first glance this might look like a ordinary glass table with a cool design, but there’s more to it than that. In the middle of the table there are solar panels. The table was meant to be an outdoor furniture for restaurants or homes, and is supposed to make use of the solar panel to store energy during the day. At night this table can be lit up, and the attached lamp can use the stored energy to lit up the area. This is Firefly.

There’s a push button located in the center which is pressed to turn the light on. So whenever it gets dark, just like a firefly the table can be made to glow with a ‘natural’ source of energy. In addition to this, the lamp can also be used to highlight a message, symbol or word at the bottom of the table, since it also has the provision of keeping a stencil beneath it. The Firefly has been designed by Vuk Dragovic.

Not only wall coverings and furniture are things that create a room design, but small items are very important too.
