If you're thinking about giving your dining room a makeover, why not for a green colour scheme? Dining room decor should be elegant and welcoming, putting you and your guests at ease as you sit down to eat and unwind. 

Green shades are perfect for creating a mellow dining space. Muted shades can be used in traditional dining rooms, while bolder hues can be used for a more contemporary interior. What's more, a green scheme lets you play around with a variety of hues, while you can also incorporate all manner of natural colours. 

Looking for premium paint colours to turn your green dining room ideas into a reality? At Tikkurila, you'll discover a wealth of options for all your decorating projects. Whether you're looking for a single shade for a small dining room or searching for multiple hues to decorate a larger space, our range has something for everyone. 

Is Green a Good Colour for a Dining Room?

Green dining rooms are the way to go if you're eager to create a serene and welcoming space. With pigments inspired by the natural world, green paint colours are ideal for setting the right ambience for laid-back family meals and fuss-free dinner parties with friends. 

Even a subtle shade of green can add life and vibrancy to dining rooms. The green colour family works particularly well with off-whites and neutral shades, but it can also be brought to life with bolder contrasts.

If you're after a more traditional dining room, stick to pure white accents when adding the finishing touches to your space. With dark green walls and all-white mouldings, you'll have a Victorian-inspired interior that's not lacking in grandeur. 

For a contemporary home, consider using an off-white to coat your walls, then reach for an emerald green to create a fabulous feature wall. You can also take style inspiration from your living rooms, working in premium hardwoods and gold accents for a luxurious lift. 

Because green is such a versatile colour, you're not limited when it comes to furniture choices. Traditional dining tables made from solid wood will work well in an all-green space, while more muted interiors can be livened up with an all-white suite and green chairs.

Five Green Paint Colours for a Dining Room

Ready to reimagine your dining space in a daring green shade? Whether you're in the market for something vibrant or a more natural colour, our range is packed with must-try options. 

Darker greens are surprisingly versatile. They can be used to create a more traditional dining space, but can also be put to good use in a more modern interior. If you're looking to make an impact, go with a green like Fjord M442. 

This misty shade has elements of green and grey, making it a go-to choice for anyone who loves experimenting with the darker side of the palette. If square footage is on your side, this colour can be used to paint all of your walls. If you're working with a compact dining space, use a neutral grey as your primary colour, then reach for this to create stunning features. 

This stunning shade works well with hardwood flooring, especially traditional parquet styles. It also creates a brilliant backdrop for mid-century furniture, so consider going retro when investing in a new dining table and dining chairs.

In the mood for earthy greens? A colour like Basilica M384 is a terrific choice if you're looking to bring the outdoors in.

Although earthy in character, this green paint colour is incredibly vivid. You can use it to coat all your dining room walls or mix it up with olive-infused hues. It also works well with light greys, neutrals and pure whites. 

As this colour is inspired by botanical elements, it works nicely with natural textures and materials. Solid wood dining tables made from oak and walnut will work beautifully with this green shade. If you want to introduce contrast, make life easy with all-white dining suites. 

Some of the best shades in this rewarding colour family combine green and blue. Silk Road S440 is a perfect example of this, bringing together medium green hues with a hint of blue. 

If you can't decide between a green and blue dining decor scheme, this is an ideal colour compromise. It's also fairly muted, making it a great option for those who want a more subdued and sophisticated dining space. 

This timeless shade works well in any interior. Use it with white gloss accents to create a traditional dining space or mix things up with minimalist dining furniture for a more contemporary room. 

Thinking about a neutral palette for your dining room? A muted shade like Aloe X381 fits the bill nicely. 

Although lighter than some of our other green paint colours, this shade isn't lacking in character. It's soft and soothing, making it a go-to if you want a dining space in which you can unwind in. 

It'll work well with off-whites and pastel colours. What's more, it can be easily incorporated into contemporary and traditional schemes alike. Pair it with dark woods for an effortless contrast or embrace a more modern finish with streamlined furniture in gloss white. 

If your dining room is still screaming out for a pop of colour, think about using a khaki shade or dark olive for the feature wall. Alternatively, integrate multiple shades of green with your furnishings to create visual interest.

Is your dining room looking a little dated? It's time to explore a contemporary colour palette to bring it bang up to date. If you're struggling for ideas, consider using a dark sage green like Nephrite N494. 

This premium green paint colour has undertones of grey, making it a fine choice for creating a more modern interior. What's more, it leaves you plenty of options when it comes to dining room furniture and room accents. 

As with any green, this paint colour works well with natural materials like hardwood. However, it can also be used alongside more modern furniture in monochromatic colourways. 

If your dining room layout is fairly generous, play around with even darker shades to create depth. If your space is a smaller one, use off-white accents to brighten things up.
