Shades of red stimulate both the appetite and conversation, so it’s a perfect color family to explore for the dining room.
Keep the feeling cozy by selecting a deep shade of red, not a bright one. Here we’ve painted the top portion of the wall with a luscious rich, raisin tone, atop a wainscoting of golden tan which helps keep the deeper color from overwhelming the space. We’ve painted the ceiling and crown molding a soft white which visually extends the height of the room as well as highlight the detailed craftsmanship of the molding.
