Red seems to be the perfect colour choice for your dining room. Why? Because a dining room is primarily where we have our meals with the family and the colour increases your energy levels, enthusiasm, appetite and metabolism
Make a bold and dynamic statement with a red dining room in your home, as this colour never goes out of style. The shades of red have long been established to increase our feeling of hunger and metabolism, which is probably why it is used extensively in restaurants and the food packaging industry.
Let’s go through some of the benefits of using red as an accent colour in your dining room:
- It acts as a focal point that induces visual drama and looks quite elegant because of its warm undertones.
- It is available in multiple hues (scarlet red, Tuscan red, cardinal red, deep red, etc.), so you can choose based on the kind of mood/ambience you want to create.
- It conveys enthusiasm, passion, high energy, power, life, emotion and vitality and represents the ‘fire element’ as per Vastu experts. So, it can be considered a good Vastu colour for your home’s dining area.
Things To Keep In Mind While Using Red Colour In Your Dining Space
- Use deeper reds in larger dining rooms as they absorb the light and brighter reds for smaller dining rooms as they reflect the light.
- Don’t use too much red as it is a delicate colour to work with, and an overdose of it can be quite overstimulating and overwhelming.
- Use it as an accent wall colour or even on your curtains, decor, furniture, flooring, etc. but in moderation. Display your artwork/photographs in red frames on the wall for an impressive contrast.
Now, it is time to dig into five dining room designs with a touch of red that will make you rethink the space. Happy eating!
