Create a gorgeous dining space with the right paint colors. Get inspired with our gallery of dining room design ideas.

A Colorful Contrast

A dining room with blue green painted walls, navy velvet chairs and a wooden table.

This beautiful blue-green painted wall (HGTV HOME® by Sherwin-Williams Reflecting Pool # HGSW2324) is a statement maker in this dining room. Navy velvet chairs with brass accents and a dark wooden table offer a nice contrast.

Understated Elegance

A dining room with pale blue gray walls, a dark wood table, white chairs, moulding and curtains.

Color doesn't have to be bold and saturated. The walls are painted a pale blue gray on top with bright white moulding underneath. Traditional touches can be found in the brass-framed artwork, faux silk curtains, a dark wooden table and white round dining chairs.

Chocolate Lovers

A dining room with a white herringbone tile fireplace, dark brown walls and blue dining chairs.

The rich chocolate color (Valspar® Italian Leather # 6005-2C) on this dining room wall is unexpectantly chic. And robin's-egg blue linen chairs with nailheads look great against the brown walls and mahogany table.

In the Woods

A dining room with metal lighting, wood walls, light gray paint and black caned chairs.

If you prefer neutrals and natural textures, this dining room is a must-see. A wood-tile accent wall, concrete countertops, dark caned chairs and black matte lighting provide a masculine, modern look.

No-Hassle Color

A couple of linen dining chairs and a wooden table with a navy Moroccan-inspired rug.

If you don't feel like painting or need a renter-friendly alternative, just add a colorful rug underneath the table to wow your dinner guests. This indigo Moroccan rug with light linen chairs is an easy and modern update.

Farmhouse Appeal

A farmhouse kitchen with black walls, white barn doors, metal industrial chairs and a wooden table.

Barn doors can be found everywhere these days, but they're typically not in a dining room. We opted for white doors, black walls, rustic furniture and an open iron chandelier for a modern farmhouse look.

Island Time

Pink walls, emerald chairs, a brass planter and light blue rug in a dining room.

If any dining room says bright and cheerful, it's this one. The pink coral walls (HGTV HOME® by Sherwin-Williams Romance # HGSW6323) and emerald painted chairs (HGTV HOME® by Sherwin-Williams Island Time # HWSW2312) give a tropical feel no matter where you are. Brass planters and a muted pastel rug finish the space.

Pretty Provencal

A dining room with Provencal blue walls, French linen chairs, silver chandelier and white curtains.

This Provencal blue dining room (Valspar® Someday # 4006-10B) is a showstopper. Add the same paint color to the trim work and mullions to create a seamless look. Silver accents and royal blue vases are the perfect accessories.
