Color Suggestions for Dining Room Wall

I need to paint my dining room but am stuck on what color. I like our curtains and want something that will go nicely with them and the furniture. I keep looking at shades of beige but feel I am just going with boring and safe. Ignore the dog cage/seedling holder in the background. LOL

Any ideas?

Chocolate brown, or is that too bold?

I don't think beige/tan would be playing it safe. Maybe go a little darker.

I'm ok with something a little bold. Afraid of going too dark because the room is fairly small. I always have that rule about dark colors in small spaces in the back of my head. I don't want to make it look any smaller. Maybe I should try playing with it in photoshop or something. Chat Icon I have such a hard time envisioning stuff.

Re: Color Suggestions for Dining Room Wall

When we first painted our dining room we did one wall with gold. Not like yellow, but gold, shimmery shiny gold. It looked awesome. Since then we had an air conditioner put in one wall (it started in another but there was a pipe in that wall we couldn't remove) and I didn't repaint it that color. I did like it a lot though. Here's a pic of a portion of the wall while I'm getting my makeup done for my wedding Chat Icon

Re: Color Suggestions for Dining Room Wall

well you could do a light sage on the walls. I love blue and sage together. but you could completely do a gray too. And a medium tone tan/beige I think is very nice. Maybe something like BM Lenox Tan, with your furniture and the curtains would look really nice together. Then put some slate blue on the table or find some art work with slat blue in it. it would really bring the whole room together.

check out my bathroom for the blue/sage color scheme. check out my bedroom for blue/tans/browns. check out my Family Room for blue/tans/white. Hope the ideas help.
