Taking risks with color can produce some amazing results in design. Dining rooms offer a great opportunity to play with color. The set-up of a dining room is typically very simple: a table, chairs, and perhaps a buffet or cabinet. They are also typically separated from the rest of the house, so you can play around a little bit with style and make this space unique. These two facts make it easier to experiment with color in bold, unexpected ways.
When staging a home for sale, I always recommend bringing in color through temporary accents. If you’re planning to stay in your home for a while, feel free to be more adventurous with paint, wallpaper and flooring. Here are 10 examples of bold, colorful dining rooms that use color in creative ways.
Here’s a fun DIY idea: spray paint the spindles on a chair! It creates a fun accent that is easy and affordable, especially if you pick up the chairs from a thrift store or garage sale and refurbish them.
This dining room is completely neutral, allowing the chairs and rug to fully pop in the space. It’s definitely not short on personality.
Colorful patterns on the chairs bring tons of life and fun to this otherwise neutral, rustic dining room.
Who said the chairs had to match? Spray painting each chair in a different color to match the banquette provided a fun, whimsical appeal to this white dining room.
Mustard yellow chairs have a chic quality when paired with black and white.
Bold blue walls are balanced by solid furniture in a mix of dark wood tones and bright neutrals.
Don’t be afraid to mix patterns. The ones around this banquette all compliment each other in tone and style.
Orange chairs add color while still sticking to the warm tones of this dining room. A turquoise centerpiece brings some extra depth.
A subtle wallpaper joins the green cushions on the chairs and neutrals of the space to create perfect harmony.
The green chairs at either end of the table look so magnificent, it was smart to let them be the main focus of color in the space. Some other accents, like the plant and lamps, pulled it all together.
Would you ever like to see one of these colorful dining rooms in your own home?
