What Colors To Choose?
A colorful dining room can be very different. It can be super bold with lots of colors or more restrained with just one main color and its shades, or a few bright colors. The color scheme is totally up to you and what colors you like. Just remember, if you go too bright, it might feel overwhelming.
We recommend, before committing to a bold color, try out small samples on your walls or with swatches of fabric to see how they look in different lighting. If you’re worried about too much color, balance bright colors with neutral tones like white, gray, or beige.

How To Integrate Color?
If you want to change your dining room a lot, you can paint the walls, create an accent wall, add neon lights, and bring in bold furniture and art. If you have a neutral dining room and want to add color, try bright upholstery, pillows, curtains, and rugs. Textiles are the easiest and most budget-friendly way to add color. Think about artwork, accessories, bold decor, and lights to make your space cheerful. Don’t forget colorful tableware, which will definitely add to the look of the room.

Transform your dining table by painting the legs or the tabletop. Add a splash of color to storage pieces. Painting the inside of a cabinet a bright color can add a surprise element when you open the doors.

Colorful Accessories
Paint glass vases and jars with bright colors and use them as centerpieces or decor items around the room. Colorful plant pots are also awesome.
