No fancy dresses or suits, just good food, good friends and good conversation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 9 casual dining room ideas for creating the perfect relaxing setting in your home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Choose a Light Color Palette<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first casual dining room idea is to select a color palette using light and airy tones to give your dining room a casual feel. I used white and beige as the basis of my color palette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Keep it Simple With Your Place Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/furniture\/dining-room\/dining-room-sets\/p\/20061022?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=casualdiningroom&utm_content=secondphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Artboard-2.jpg\" alt=\"Simple plates in a casual dining room | Bob\u2019s Discount Furniture\n\" class=\"wp-image-2399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Artboard-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Artboard-2-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Artboard-2-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Match your dishes with your overall color palette.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sticking with a light and airy color palette, I suggest using white plates in your casual dining room.

Try using pillar candles for the center of your dining room table and be careful to not select candles that are too tall. You don\u2019t want to have to text the person sitting across the table because you can\u2019t see them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, look for unscented candles so you don\u2019t overpower the tasty aroma of your home cooking or catering if you don\u2019t cook (hey, that\u2019s our little secret)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8.
