With indoor dining options severely limited during the COVID-19 pandemic and outdoor dining difficult to manage during the winter months, you may be getting sick of your eating space. That nice restaurant meal just doesn’t taste the same out of Styrofoam containers and eating at your kitchen table.
With that in mind, Richmond Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing has four ways to spruce up your dining setup to make it feel like you’re having a much longed-for night out.
- Move the Table
Something as simple as moving your kitchen or dining room table will give you a whole new experience. You’ll see your space in a different light, making it feel like you’re dining out.
- Get a Bar Cart
You don’t have to break the bank to get a bar cart, and this can feel like your own personal server. You don’t have to leave the table to get everything you need for your dinner, just like you would at a restaurant.
- Focus on the Aroma
Some smells bring back memories, and restaurants are full of pleasant aromas, whether it’s the food or in the décor. A simple move like lighting a candle can help transport you from your home to an entirely different locale, serving as a much-needed escape.
- The Finishing Touches
Think about other minor changes that can transform your space. If you don’t normally use a tablecloth, put one on, or you can utilize a different one. Add fresh flowers, salt and pepper shakers, ketchup or hot sauce bottles, play soft music—anything that you miss from the eating out experience will add to your takeout meal.
