You can’t forget about the classics. All-white dining rooms, especially with natural light shining in like the layout shown here, can be bright, clean, and simple in the best way possible. Take a cue from Michelle Vassallo of MV Architects and add a gold light fixture and artwork, too.

Why choose one shade when you can have fun with three? Coral, white, and blue is the perfect combination to create a bold color scheme. Take the design one step further with tiled flooring for a dining room that won’t disappoint.
