Dining Rooms can be viewed as a stuffy, outdated relic of the past. Dining rooms are so much more. Dining rooms can be the ideal place for late-night parties and weekend brunches. They can also double as an office.

Use Yellow with Another Color
Yellow is an excellent color for any room. Just because a colour is bold doesn’t mean that you should avoid it. Use a color like brown or gray in your dining area to tone down the yellow.

Don’t Forget the Paint
A wall painted in bright yellow will bring color to the dining area like no other. You don’t have to paint a plain or smooth wall. You can also paint over paneling, as Homemade by Carmona has done in her room. For a striking look, paint the wall in a bold color like black or navy.

Try Yellow Furniture
Yellow furniture can be used to add color in the dining room, but not just tables. Sideboards and hutches in yellow can also add a pop of color, as they did for this dining room by Casa Watkins Living.

Add Pillows
Throw pillows make it more comfortable to sit on a stiff chair in the dining room. What if the throw pillow is yellow, for example? You’ve also added some bright and cheery color to your room. For the best results, choose small, durable yellow cushions.

Use Muted Yellow
It doesn’t need to be bold and bright. It can be cozy and muted like the yellow-cream shades in Herzen Sprache’s Dining Room. Add a bright yellow color accent to the muted yellow furniture if you want some bright colors.

Vintage touches are a must
Are you having trouble finding yellow items for your dining room? It’s possible that you are looking in the wrong place. Buy vintage instead of new. Yellow dining room furniture is more likely to be found in vintage or antique shops, since the color was popular during the mid-century.
