Create an inviting space for celebrating and entertaining in style! These six best dining room colors for your home will delight the true host in you.
A dining room is a place where friends and family come together to eat. Nothing brings the people we love closer than sharing a meal with them. Take a trip down memory lane and you’ll see that some of your fondest memories are of your family gathering at the dinner table at your grandparents’ house. It is a place of warmth and celebration, not just when you have people over, but every time you sit down to eat with your family.
And the right atmosphere is important. Therefore, choosing the right color for your dining room is crucial as colors influence our moods and emotions. Here are colors you can choose from to make those memories and experiences enjoyable all year long.
A dining room can look cozy and inviting if it is well lit and decorated in warm tones. It’s not a place where we spend long periods of time and therefore gives you the opportunity to experiment with rich, bold colors. To do this, add decorative pieces with gold and silver to add some sparkle. Deep reds, earthy browns, and burnt oranges are excellent colors to highlight this look. One of the most popular colors are various shades of brown with a touch of red to add warmth. Browns may not be as striking as deep reds, but they add a certain level of class with their richness. Shades to try include chocolate, coffee, truffle, and beige, among others.
If you like bold colors with a touch of tradition, you’ll love a touch of orange in your dining room. Burnt or spicy orange, the possibilities are endless. This hue adds a touch of tradition to your 21st century dining experience. Not as bold as reds, but still vibrant enough to create a warm orange that will keep your guests smiling throughout the meal at the dinner table.
The lightest warm tones and deep reds are the ideal color if you want to offer your guests an extravagant dining experience. Deep reds pair well with gold and copper accents. Using gold or copper in your furnishings, lighting fixtures, modular furniture, or even on your tableware can enhance the atmosphere in your dining room and provide your guests with an unforgettable experience. It’s important to remember not to overdo it with a light shade of red and to keep it classy with a more down-to-earth shade that is deep, rich and elegant. Dark wood grain furniture goes well with this color.
Warm colors add a sense of cheer to any room, but that doesn’t mean cool color palettes are sad or boring. On the contrary, cool colors like blue, green and purple can add freshness and serenity to your dining area. Muted purple or mauve is a color, just like brown tones, that is subtle and gentle. Muted purple is one of our favorite colors for a dining room. It has hints of gray and the richness of chocolate brown. This color is easy on the eye and adds a touch of royalty with the right decorative pieces. Purple was considered the color of royalty because it was extremely rare and difficult to obtain. And were therefore reserved for the elite and the ruling classes. Purple pairs well with decor with metallic accents like gold or silver. However, this paint can also create a simple, subtle look when combined with white furniture.
Another color in the bucket of cool tones is deep blue, which is not as flashy but has a calming effect. This color pairs well with rich dark brown furniture, white trim, cornices and wire frame furniture for a timeless classic French look. It has an old-school charm when decorated with rustic furniture and artifacts. This is best suited for those who enjoy traveling and collecting souvenirs from around the world.
Another pleasant color that you can try for your dining room is olive green. Often associated with nature, harvest and times of plenty, olive green is a vibrant color to paint the walls of your dining room. It goes well with wooden furniture of all colors. Combined with light terracotta or ceramic tiles and a white bar cabinet, this color scheme can do wonders for your dining room. This color suits those who don’t want anything mainstream. However, you can also go the other way and give your dining room a luxurious look with metal accents. Just as metal accents go well with red and purple tones, they also harmonize with green tones and create an extravagant-looking dining room.
We don’t spend a lot of time in the dining room, but the time we do spend is often with friends or family. The memories are among the most valuable. So if you take it a step further and experiment with bold designs and vibrant colors, the dining experience will be as memorable as the food you eat.
