If you are looking to change everything in your dining room without spending too much time, money and effort, paint the walls! It's relatively affordable, can be taken in a day or two and makes a huge impact.

Whether bold and impressive or elegant and sophisticated, easily achieve your dream dining room aesthetic by starting with the right wall color. Here are 10 dining room color ideas to consider!

1. Bold, beautiful blue

Suitable for classic, eclectic spaces as well as modern and sleek spaces, blue is a lovely dining room color idea to consider. Royal Blue or even Classic Blue, Pantone color of 2020, are bright, rich colors that match the warmth of wooden and brass furniture.

But if you like a more formal and softer space, navy blue goes well with the high gloss dining table and chrome finish. Lighting is key to avoiding a feeling of self-contained, so let it shine with a pendant light that claims to add drama that is also helpful.

2. Soothing green

Need a little more blue in your life? Enjoy a visually soothing dining experience by painting your favorite green on the wall. Medium tones like greens go well with rich woody brown tones, dotted with patches of white and oatmeal to elevate the space. A large beige carpet accentuates the space while providing a comfortable texture.

For a more silent alternative, sage green is an elegant option for a luxury farm aesthetic. Contrast the white dining table with the glass to brighten the space and draw attention to your dining table set. To create more ambient light, strategically position the mirror facing the light source or window for maximum light flow.

3. Playful pink

Another gentle tone that is particularly effective on Scandinavian interiors, mauve goes well with contemporary minimalist designs. Keep the surfaces free of clutter and include a plant in your mauve Nordic dining room for a hygge look with part blush, part earthy and completely sweet.

But if clean and clear isn't your style, take a bold maximalist approach to pink with an enchanting wall of mulch flowers. Add teal, orange, and blue beams to create a dynamic color palette while keeping other elements fairly neutral for the background of the look.

4. Sunny yellow

Switching to a brighter tone, sunny yellow is best used as a dining room wall color when there is plenty of natural light during the day. Although it is a bold color, this energetic color gives the room a light and modern feel when combined with white.

And for a little bit of art, choose black picture frames for wall art to make them stand out on those radiant walls. Trace a bit of black throughout the room for a modern touch that can be softened by adding some plants. If the idea is to create a fun and colorful scene, choose a bright blue or green accent color to naturally complement the bright yellow.

5. Energising orange

Like the early notes of a lively sunset, the orange color is energizing but at the same time calming. If your dining room needs a tasty treat, sprinkle some sweet marigold oranges on the wall and decorate with white accessories for a French farm feel. Or, take a leaf out of a Swedish book by pairing a burnt orange with wooden furniture.

With warm tones like these, pay attention to the type of sunlight that will shine on. For example, the morning sun is cooler and refreshing while the sunset light is warm and golden. It's no surprise that orange is also the perfect color to style an autumn home and give it a cozy feel for the cold season.

6. Purple for creatives and royals

On the other end of the spectrum, a purple dining room can be mysterious, luxurious, or even whimsical. Purple orchids for example represent a great backdrop to a colorful dining room; It's no surprise that it's associated with creativity and independence. Best suited for modern or contemporary interior styles, this purple goes well with white and other equally bright colors like yellow, red and royal blue.

Purple is also associated with royalty and is a unique alternative to formal dining rooms. Bring out the grandeur of the colors with sleek wooden furniture and metal candlesticks, lights or dining utensils.

7. Classic white

If you are not allowed to paint on your white walls, know that the white dining room is old and lovely in its own right. This is perhaps the most versatile dining room color choice that will remain in style throughout the seasons. From Japandi's warm dining area to the crisp, modern, and eclectic white space, using white as a dining room wall color means it can be easily worn up or down on occasion.

Wooden furniture and white walls are a great combination from paradise, whether you are pursuing a bohemian, classic or natural minimalist aesthetic. White walls can also work well with modern decorations like metal finishes, leather seats, and impressive black and white portraits. This neutral color is a great reflection of light and can make a small space feel wider and brighter.

8. Modern black

From the outside, a black dining room is certainly very cool and stands out from the crowd. To avoid feeling cramped or stuffy, make sure there is plenty of light. Indirect sources like standing lights, wall lights or even a heater can help expand the space without being too harsh. Also, get access to modern lighting, at least in brass and in a slim form, to avoid overwhelming the room.

The same goes for black dining room furniture - clean lines and shadows make the room feel larger thanks to its simplicity. Avoid cluttering the space and taking up legroom by adding warmth and texture with different materials - fabric chairs, smooth marble dining tables or black brick walls are gorgeous texturing features for the house home.

9. Gorgeous grey

However, if you can't decide between white or black, choose gray. Gentle and cool, the mellow and cool gray color is particularly suited to Scandinavian aesthetics. Decorate your gray dining room with warm wooden furniture, trees and cozy textures like wool and upholstery.

Gray is also very stylish when used in a monochrome palette. Darker shades create drama without being overwhelmed, complemented by white and metallic finishes. And unless you're going to watch a moody candlelight scene, light up the space well.

10. Contrasting colours

But what if you love more than one color and can't decide? Then try mixing and matching! Wall color pairs are fun and unique for your personal design style, depending on your favorite décor. Start by tapping the color wheel, then explore complementary and contrasting color combinations to find your favorite palette. For example, the gray and yellow dining room above uses bright yellow located opposite the cool gray in the color wheel.

A simple rule of thumb is to maintain a color palette of no more than three colors to maintain coherence in spaces. Another trick is to keep the tones intact, as different shades or shades become more obvious in certain lights. While the warm white itself may look neutral, when placed next to the pure white, you can easily tell the difference - the tone of the two colors is easier to identify when compared.

Also, remember to test your chosen color on a small part of a wall that has a different light during the day - as tones are also painted differently with warmer or cooler lighting. One way to start styling your dining room is to choose a central ornament like the dining table set, then build a palette and style around it. Take some of our sets as a start!
