Color plays an important role in the interior. The color design of the dining room affects not only the mood and appetite - it can be used to correct the shortcomings and emphasize the dignity of the room, maintain the style of the interior. To properly plan the color scheme, you need to decide on the main and additional shades, make harmonious combinations, and place accents.


The interior of the dining room should create a family atmosphere, so that joint meals are a pleasure. And on holidays, the dining room should be easily transformed according to the event.

A popular design trick when choosing color combinations is to highlight one main color. There are options when, when combining colors in the dining room, two main ones are brought to the foreground, and other tones are used as inclusions. It is important that the main colors are in harmony with each other.


Light range. In a bright room, a positive mood is usually formed. That is why light colors and white are suitable for decorating the dining area, as well as textures that enhance luminosity: glass, lacquered surfaces, shiny metal. These finishing solutions fit perfectly into the modern interior concept in a neutral, classic and ecological style, country and fusion style.

For balance, use combinations of white (or its shades - milky, cream, ivory) with deep brown, gray-blue, greenish-gray, terracotta. Dining room decor in these colors will give a feeling of deep inner peace. To create a lively atmosphere, accessories made of silver and shiny metal, cream-colored or painted ceramics will help.


Color contrasts. Avoid in the dining area hard contrasts of black and colors of the chromatic range (especially red, yellow, gold, crimson, purple), as well as "sharp" comparisons of saturated colors. Usually they are perceived as exciting, annoying and create psychological stress, inappropriate for a meal and in communication with guests. Avoid large clusters of saturated colors in the dining room. Either light, unsaturated, or mixed tones are preferred: sand, coffee with milk, beige, pale pink, gray-green. It is worth considering a harmonious color scheme, using "neighbors" in half of the spectrum: blue and green, yellow and orange. This palette creates a peaceful and pleasant mood.


A few important factors to consider when choosing a color palette for your dining room.

Dining room size. Choose colors according to the size of the dining room. For small dining rooms, use combinations of light and cold tones, as they visually increase the space. For large dining spaces, combine dark colors with medium saturation and bright colors. Furniture in this case, it is better to choose two-tone.

Furniture and decor. Consider the room's furniture, window treatments, and wall decorations. If you do not plan to change the decor, choose wall colors that match it. If you are going to completely change the interior of the dining room, you will have more options. One of the easiest ways to add color to a neutral dining room is with colorful chairs.

Adjacent rooms. If there is access to other rooms from the dining room, you need to choose the colors of the walls so that they blend harmoniously with the colors of the neighboring rooms.


Accent color. The room will look much more interesting if, in addition to the main one, you add some accent colors. But first, make sure that the chosen colors look good next to each other.

Combine only 3-5 shades. As a rule, the background of the dining room and kitchen is made up of the largest surfaces and objects: walls, floors, large furniture. It is their colors in the interior palette that will be the main and most often neutral, natural and close to each other. In addition to the basic colors, you can choose two or three additional colors - darker, more saturated or brighter.

In percentage terms, the share of the main and additional colors can be divided as 60/30/10. Very bright and dark colors should occupy the smallest fraction of the space - no more than 10%, only as accents and color spots.

Combine colors with the color wheel . When composing a color combination in the kitchen, it is useful to know the principles of working with a chromatic circle that schematically represents the rainbow spectrum.


Interior style. The color scheme of the interior must match the style. Dining rooms in a classic or Art Deco style are decorated in deep but muted tones that are close to nature. Bright accents are not characteristic of classic interiors, but contrasts are allowed.


European shabby chic and Provence, Gustavian and French styles are characterized by a pastel and neutral palette without too bright accents.


Scandinavian style base colors tend to be light and natural, but often with bright or contrasting accents.

Loft and industrial are built on dark muted tones, often with a lot of brick, wood, concrete and metal shades.

Pop art, retro and boho chic are trends for those who love bright and saturated colors.

Rustic and minimalist, eco-style and country style are based on shades of natural materials - sand, grass, clay, stones and, of course, wood.


Lighting. Consider the orientation of the windows to the cardinal points and the level of illumination If the room faces the north side, then soft white and warm saturated colors will help to compensate for the lack of heat and light: yellow, red, orange, pink.

Boiled white, shades of blue, cyan, purple and gray in dim natural light will look cloudy and even create a feeling of cold. Also, do not get carried away with pastel shades, because without sunlight they will seem dirty and dull. But in sunny southern kitchens, cold shades will look fresh, and pastels will look gentle. Warm colors in bright light, on the contrary, may seem too active and oppressive, or create a feeling of stuffiness.

Cool tones subdue appetite, warm tones excite If you are an avid cook, gourmet or just a fan of beautiful food photography, then warm shades (yellow, red and orange, wood and brick textures) in a dining or work area will be very useful. On the other hand, if you are striving for a moderate diet, then an apron or, say, a tablecloth on the table, it is better to choose in cold colors.


With the help of color you can visually disguise the unsuccessful proportions of the room, use gradations of tone, combinations of shiny and matte textures, drawing.

Textures and patterns. Mirrored and glossy surfaces will make the dining room not only bigger, but also more airy. Glossy shine will create a feeling of cleanliness. Large patterns and textures are suitable for large dining rooms, and for small rooms, choose small patterns and textures - with their help, the dining room will seem larger. The texture should also be unobtrusive, best in combination with a light color.


Basic colors for the dining room and their combinations

White. A dining room in white will look elegant and airy. A palette of shades of white is an option for those who appreciate the simplicity and elegance of style and, at the same time, wide possibilities for color solutions. White color gives almost unlimited possibilities for creating space. White goes well with all tones and sets the contrast. The most popular combinations with black, red and blue tone. The individuality of the design should be emphasized with original graphics or photographs, as well as the intense color of accessories and furniture.

Black. If you use this color in moderation (without making it dominant) and combine it with lighter or cheerful shades, then black can bring sophistication and rigor to the interior. Elegant black cools the space, pairing perfectly with gray and white. Duets of black with red, pink, green, yellow are acceptable.


Grey. Gray is practical and versatile, almost all colors paired with it become nobler and more effective. However, the abundance of gray (except for very light colors) can depress and chill. To keep a gray dining room from looking boring, don't make classic gray the main tone, especially if the room is dark. Gray is especially good with white (gray walls with white baseboards), pink, yellow, blue, purple.


Beige. The most compromise among the entire palette. Unobtrusive and goes well with many tones, but is best with peach, blue and brown. The beige color of the walls in the dining room does not distract attention and creates a feeling of comfort.

Green. Green color in the dining room is considered one of the most advantageous and popular. It personifies nature and tranquility, sets in a positive way. It will always be a pleasure to spend time in such a dining room. Green goes well with purple, white, gold, red, goes well with the "neighbors" blue and yellow, warm shades - orange and brown.


Brown. Brown and its shades are often used in the interior of the dining room. The color of the earth and wood soothes, creates a sense of security and comfort in the interior. It is especially good to use it in textiles, flooring and furniture. However, in large quantities and without suitable complementary colors, it can be tiring. Harmonizes brown with white, beige, green, pink, blue. It is especially effectively combined with pastel colors, creating a calm and eye-pleasing palette.


Blue. A great color for the kitchen, but subject to good sunlight or use in moderation. Noble and deep blue will transform the dining room, making it expressive. It is desirable to make blue dominant in large dining rooms so that it does not hide the space. Blue is suitable for those who struggle with the habit of overeating, who love peace and need self-confidence. The main combinations: with cold colors - gray, green, blue and purple, with warm colors - orange, yellow, brown, red.

Blue. Dining room in blue is associated with sea freshness and energy of the water element. Mediterranean notes will give it olive, light green, turquoise, azure, blue, white, beige.


Purple. Gives dining chic and elegance. This color is almost the most difficult to use, as it has a contradictory effect - it excites and calms at the same time. Therefore, it should be used only in very small quantities. Combinations: with neutral colors - white, gray, brown, with its complementary color - yellow, as well as red and blue.


Yellow. Sunny yellow color will make the dining room bright and juicy, the color invigorates, warms, improves mood, any food against such a background seems appetizing. But in large quantities, yellow can irritate the psyche. This color is especially shown in northern and dark kitchens - here it can replace sunlight. It is successfully combined with orange, blue, white, purple and gray. Most often it does not dominate, but is used in combination with other colors.


Orange. Orange dining room is a popular and modern solution. Orange, like yellow, gives a feeling of summer and awakens the appetite. It is also rarely used as an independent tone. The most successful combinations with yellow, blue, green and white.

Red. This bright, dynamic color is nowhere more appropriate than in the kitchen and dining room, but it does not suit everyone's temperament. In small doses, it warms, invigorates, stimulates appetite, in large doses, it presses and irritates. A dining room in red will look expressive and modern, especially if red is expressed on glossy surfaces. It is recommended not to make it a dominant tone, but to be paired with such colors: black, white, golden, light peach, gray or silver.

    • General rules for choosing color combinations in the interior of the dining room

    A popular design trick when choosing color combinations is to highlight one main color.

    Dining room color can be chosen 1, but using its different shades. Then the situation will not merge into one whole and it will be possible to highlight the desired accents.



    Selection of textures and patterns




    We offer you to consider the color options for the kitchen-dining room, as well as their winning combinations.

    Basic colors

    A white dining room will look elegant and airy. White goes well with all tones and sets the contrast. The most popular combinations with black, red and blue tone. As the color of the ceilings in the dining room, white is most often chosen.












    Even though black goes well with all colors, don't make it the dominant color in the dining room. It will psychologically overload some people, and in the dining room you want to eat in a comfortable environment. Duets of black with red, white, pink, green are acceptable in the dining room.











    To keep a gray dining room from looking boring, don't make classic gray the main tone. This is an amateur decision. Gray will fit into almost any environment. Effectively complement the design of the dining room in gray pink, blue and purple. A rather interesting design solution is a gray dining room (in the manner of a black and white photograph) and one or more bright objects, for example, pink.











    Beige is the most compromise among the entire palette. It's hard to go wrong when using it. It is unobtrusive and goes well with many tones, but is best with peach, blue and brown. The beige color of the walls in the dining room does not distract attention and creates a feeling of comfort.










    Green color in the dining room is considered one of the most advantageous and popular. It represents nature and tranquility. It will always be a pleasure to spend time in such a dining room. Green goes well with purple, white, brown, golden.












    Brown and all its shades are also often used in the interior of the dining room. Most often it is presented in the form of wooden surfaces.

    This dining room will look rich and elegant. Associations with nature will contribute to a sense of comfort.

    Harmonizes brown with green, pink, blue. Especially effectively it is combined with pastel colors, creating a calm and eye-pleasing palette.










    Noble and deep blue color will advantageously transform any dining room, making it expressive. The dining room in blue complements the nautical theme in the interior. It is desirable to make blue dominant in large dining rooms so that it does not hide the space. The main combinations are with yellow, brown, green and white. 9












    Dining room in blue is associated with sea freshness and energy of the water element. Mediterranean notes will give it such colors: olive, light green, turquoise, azure, blue, white, and also beige.











    Violet color has long been considered royal, as it was often used in the interior of palaces. It will give the dining room chic and elegance. However, it is important not to overdo it.

    The dominant deep purple color can be psychologically overwhelming, and in small dining rooms it will hide space. It is successfully combined with gray, yellow, golden, green, black and white.





















    Sunny yellow color will make the dining room bright and juicy. It will give a feeling of summer warmth all year round, be associated with the harvest and improve mood. Yellow is successfully combined with orange, blue, white, purple and gray. Most often, it does not dominate, but is used in combination with other colors.
















    Orange dining room is a popular and modern solution. Orange, like yellow, gives a feeling of summer, is associated with ripe fruits and awakens the appetite.
    It is also rarely used as an independent tone. The most successful combinations with yellow, blue, green and white.













    The color is bright, dynamic and does not suit everyone's temperament. A dining room in red will look expressive and modern, especially if red is expressed on glossy surfaces.

    It is recommended not to make it a dominant tone, but to be paired with the following colors: black, white, gold, light peach, gray or silver.















    Intermediate colors

    Like green color, light green personifies natural colors, warm summer and harmony. Since the color is bright and quite saturated, it is better not to make it predominant. It will create a harmonious composition with white, dark green, yellow, purple.






    This color gives the room freshness. The tone is pleasing to the eye and easy to perceive. Designers recommend using turquoise to highlight the desired accents in the dining room (for example, curtains, a seating area, chairs, one of the walls).












    This is an unobtrusive color in the interior of the dining room. It is suitable for rooms with a marine or Mediterranean theme (like blue and blue). Reminiscent of the azure expanse of the sea, it soothes and improves mood. Harmonizes the tone in the interior with blue, light blue, white, olive.








    If you are wondering what color to paint your dining room in a modern style to make it expressive, choose magenta. But, as is the case with other bright and saturated tones, do not make it the main one, but combine it, best with black, gray or white.











    As an alternative to gray, designers have been using silver lately.
