We all have different preferences and tastes in colors and shades for our home. Especially when it comes to a specific part of the house, like the dining area.

They say that there are certain colors that are perfect for your dining room that will entice your family and your guests to dig in to whatever food that is on the table. But is it really what you want?

If you are the effortlessly elegant type of homeowner, and you want your dining room to reflect that personality, you might want to try a chic color scheme for the place where the feast happens. Some cool toned grays and soft winter blues paired with metallic accessories will do the trick for you. An added bonus is that this actually decreases your appetite so if you're on a diet, shades of blue will do the trick!

But if you are the friendly neighbor that wants to invite everybody for a weekend brunch, you could consider warm tone colors such as lemon yellow and burnt orange. A little vanilla for your trims would not hurt to complement the whole look.

Meanwhile, if you are the fun and youthful stay-at-home spouse who always likes a company or two while eating, bright colors are your best friend. A touch of patterns is also okay, as if it screams, “Come, eat!” Ground the room with a neutral snowy white finish on the walls to keep the focus on your brights and patterns.

And for those who like to keep it simple and casual, cotton whites and soft beiges would be perfect for you. Just add a few pops of baby pink and your Sunday family lunch is good to go!
