1. BEIGE IS A SOOTHING COLOR TO LIVE WITH
No, beige is not boring. Beige is subtle yet has a significant presence. It is nearly infinite in its tones and mood-generating abilities. It looks different depending on the architecture and light. And, is the ideal companion to most other tones. When thinking of this hue, there are several undertones to choose from. If you need to cool down a sunny room but also want to keep the space neutral, khaki with grey undertones is a great choice.
2. CONSIDER ROSY TONES OF PINK
'Dining room colors at their best in my opinion set the stage for laughter, connection, and or romance,' says Jennifer Morris, founder of JMorris. 'So colors that flatter the skin tone or feel comfortable and rich will be a good backdrop. I find warm rosy colors amazing for dining. When you paint pink, the wall color reflects beautifully off the skin so everyone looks healthier.'
3. CREATE DEPTH WITH TEAL
Sure, a deep tone like teal may seem like a bold choice for dining room color ideas but deep, dark colors can have several benefits; both aesthetic and illusionary.
4. ADD A CHEERFUL TOUCH WITH ORANGE
That beautiful blend of yellow and red, orange in its truest form, is an equal mix of the two. However, the color can range from almost red to bright tangerine and reminds one of the sunsets and tropical fruits, and it is undeniably cheery and bold.
5. GO FOR BLUE FOR A TIMELESS LOOK
'I chose Anchors Away by Sherwin Williams for a deep bold color that would not only act as the focal point for the room but also compliment the white walls above,' says Ginger Curtis, founder of Urbanology Designs .'In addition, it really compliments the wood tone colors as well. 'If you’re looking to make a dining room feel bigger, a lighter color can help to make the space feel airy and open,' says Chelsea. 'Known for their calming effects, blue is a great option for a dining room.'
6. GREEN WILL REMIND YOU OF THE OUTDOORS
We say, squeeze a little lime into the space where you dine! Think green walls, chairs, accessories, and lights...all can make a delicious escape. 'Green is a great choice for dining rooms with a garden view and the natural hue will bring a fresh but calm feel to the space,' says John Ashton of Albany.
7. TO MAKE A STATEMENT, CHOOSE RED
Did you know that red can stimulate our appetites and even our conversations? But understandably, a fully red room can seem too intense for most of us. So, how do you get red right? You could consider bringing it in as an accent color, with a swath on a wall, ceiling, or floor.
8. KEEP THINGS SUBTLE WITH GREY
Medium to dark grey dining rooms have an air of sophistication. This hue can be warmed up by incorporating wood tones or other warm neutrals. Grey pairs well with several colors and doubles as the perfect backdrop for light-colored artwork or decorative accessories.
