Favourite Dining Room Paint Colours

Pick the perfect dining room color with these bold paint colors that are guaranteed to transform any dining area from okay to extraordinary. Feature from Domino Magazine.

DON'T BE CONFINED BY THE ARCHITECTURE.

The dining area is painted a high-gloss lavender—because there’s no distinct threshold, the walls stay consistent—which extends to the ceilings. With a molding-less space, it looks less prefab to treat the ceilings as well.

INJECT GRANDEUR.
Painting a pale blue in the dining room is the perfect backround to these completely unmodern accessories—a ’20s Empire chandelier, ’30s bronze sconces and an artfully tarnished mirrored console (Barrie’s own design) topped with brand-new Chinese vases—inject grandeur.

ECO-STYLE.

A mix of organic material with a few glam flourishes is as good for you as the best farmers'-market fare.

SATURATION INSPIRATION.

A gutsy dominant color in every room creates a happy cohesive space.

CHIC BLACK DINING ROOM.

The noir paint job gives the 8' x 8' breakfast nook instant drama, enhanced by a steel hanging lantern that Ingham designed (it’s one of her store’s best-sellers).

BROWNSTONE CLASSIC.

This soft brown-gray was stopped at the base of the molding to give the ceilings dramatic height and leaving white space to offer some air.

INSTANT ARCHITECTURE.

Give character to a featureless room with this modern take on Colonial-style wall panels. It will look as if the place has been around for ages.
