Use these tips to get your organising off to a flying start!
If you are lucky enough to be able to have a dedicated dining room, then keep it as such - only allow in items that you use for dining.
Keep all items that you need for a dinner party for example in this room so that they are easy to find and very accessible - therefore you don't need to keep going to another room when you come to set the table.
If you have to have different things in this room (i.e. your home office, or a play area), then keep each area as separate as possible - then you will be able to see at a glance what needs tidying etc...
If you have a dinner party you want to have a lovely room to have it in if possible - so if it is a multi functional room, try and use storage for the other functions that will hide it away (a desk that can close up to look like a sideboard, and large trunks to stow away toys.
Designate areas in the room for the different items you need for dining - plates, glassware, cutlery, linen etc...
If possible, a dresser in this room can work really well as it can display the nicer peices of crockery and glassware that you have - and also is functional as it gives it a home thats easily accessible.
Ensure you have all the items required for a dinner party to hand - so that you can have a proper dinner at the table whenever the mood takes you - candles, laundered linen etc.. - it helps to write a list of everything that you need an taping it to the back of the dressers door - that way you can check easily what should be there and what you need to get on your next shopping trip
When having a dinner party or party - try and organise the table so that you have people who will get on well sitting next to each other - or specifically people that don't get on away from each other.
Try and have a plan for where food will go on the table - so that all guests can reach things easily - this makes a party run as smoothly as possible and leaves less chances for spilling things as you pass plates to each other.
This may not actually be the best place for the dining table - consider dining in the kitchen as it can be more social - then you have freed up your dining room so that it can have a totally different function - do not be constrained by what you 'should do' in the room - do what works best for the space for your family
Use a padded material under a tablecloth to protect the table from scratches - especially if its used for homework etc..
