Does your dining room feel like a warm and inviting space perfect for sharing a meal with loved ones, or is it currently lacking personality? With the holidays quickly approaching there will be plenty of opportunities to gather together. Why not bring some color into your dining room to showcase your personal taste and make your guests feel at home? Whether you are ready to make a bold statement or just want a splash of color, we’ve got a way for you to take your dining room from dull to exciting.
Let Your Accessories Do the Work
This dining room might look colorful. Remove the chairs, plant, and artwork though, and you have a room with neutral paint and flooring. If you’re short on time or nervous about committing to a bolder wall color, this is a great way to inject a little (or a lot!) of color into your dining space. Other great accessories you can use to bring in color include lamp shades, drapery, or rugs.
Create a Focal Piece of Furniture with Paint
Most homeowners have either a sideboard or china cabinet in their dining rooms. Why not refresh this storage workhorse with a fresh coat of paint for an eye-catching focal point? The red, painted sideboard in the dining room above adds drama to a fairly neutral space. Of course, you don’t have to go this bold to make a statement; in a dining room without much color competition just about any non-neutral color will become a focal point.
Add an Accent Wall
Accent walls are an interior decorating trend that is here to stay. Unless you are blessed with a dining room with a spectacular view or beautiful architectural details, your dining room might lack a clear focal point. A painted accent wall will help ground and orient your room.
Making a Bold Statement with Color
If you’re ready to go big with color in your dining room, then it’s time to pull out the paint roller. This room of your home is a great place to choose a stronger interior paint color, because you won’t be sitting in it for long periods of time. And any bold color can be toned down by pairing it with plenty of neutral accents.
Getting Your Dining Room Company Ready
With so many great ways to bring personality and life to your entertaining space there’s no reason not to take the plunge into the exciting world of color! If you’re feeling nervous still, remember that decorating your dining room should be a fun expression of who you are. Experiment with different possibilities, and as always, should you require the assistance of our professional painters just give us a call.
