Play favourites. This red dining room is an eclectic selection of favourite pieces, pitched together in a riot of colour. A black and white runner helps connect the mix and match dining set together in the busy scheme.

Red and rounded. For an intimate dining room theme, use solid red decor to cocoon a round pedestal table table and a circular rug. Pierce the colour with a large orb dining pendant light as the bright focal point.

This red dining room employs large pieces of artwork to lighten up the look. The paintings are heavy on white accents, which emulates two extra windows in the layout.

Whether you’re considering a red feature wall or red artwork, this arty focal wall combines both aesthetics. It’s also a fun way to achieve loose zoning in an open plan room like a kitchen diner.

Speaking of zoning, a red ceiling makes a creative way to outline your dining space too.

With an edge-to-edge red ceiling, keep colour coordinated accessories sparing.

Alternatively, subtly striped wallpaper and high backed dining chairs give the red and muted green theme a classic air.

Create bright contrast with a wall of red and white stripes…

… Or take the aesthetic to the floor with striped carpet.

Vertical colour blocking creates a quirky effect over neoclassical panel moulding or ornate boiserie.
