Gray, like many of the neutral colors, is a popular choice when it comes to dining rooms. Of the hundreds of thousands of dining rooms which we analyzed, about 10 percent were designed with a gray color scheme.
Neutral colors are fun to work with. Look at some gray dining room design ideas so that you can get a feel for how to bring a gray room to life with a few minor touches.
What To Avoid
Don’t let a gray room become boring, flat and dull. Since gray tones are relatively devoid of color, you need to introduce other lively, eye-catching elements into the area. If you don’t do this, the room will seem to be lacking something and might appear lifeless.
What To Do Instead
Use color, form, and layout to bring a dull space to life. You can use other neutral tones in combination with your gray, or add a splash of color here and there. Use forms that have interesting lines and textures.
For example, you might choose an intricate floral pattern for your dining room chairs or a table with a highly glossy finish. These little extra elements give the room a cared for and intentional feel.
Though gray is traditionally thought of like a mix of black and white, certain hues of gray have undertones of brown, red, blue, or even purple. Use your discerning eye or talk to an expert to see what undertones you might pick up in the gray that you want to use in your color scheme.
Then, draw out this color by putting it into focal areas of the room. For example, if your gray has purple undertones, place a plant with purple flowers onto the center of the table. This will enhance your gray color scheme by providing contrast and bring light and color into the room.
