A formal dining room is an excellent place for entertaining. Elegant and refined, these rooms can make even the most casual get-togethers seem impressive.



Tip: Next time you visit a favorite restaurant, take note of the colors and décor being used—often, these spaces are professionally designed to maximize the dining experience.



Color
Here are some color suggestions that will enhance your formal dining area:

Warm colors (see The Creative Power of the Color Wheel feature) such as reds, oranges, and yellows, work especially well in more formal spaces. Psychologically, these colors help to stimulate the appetite, making them an excellent choice for rooms where the primary purpose is food and entertaining.

For the best dining experience, use warm hues that are muted or shaded (see The Creative Power of the Color Wheel feature)—such as golden or creamy yellows, spiced oranges and terracottas, wines, burgundies, and dusty roses. These colors help stimulate appetite, while encouraging diners to linger at the table for pleasant conversation.
