Well, it depends on how much might you get in your dining room and what your favourite colours are.
Are you totally re-decorating? If not, you'll need to bear in mind the colours of your flooring, furniture, etc.
I would stick to a cool pastel colour - bright colours might be too much, and eg the colour ornage can make you more hungry, which might not be a good idea if you are prone to putting on weight!!
On the other hand a pastel peach would be warm and inviting. Or how about a light apple green, very mouth watering! I'd suggest that if there is natural light in the room, introduce some new plants - not too much, or you'll feel as if you are in a jungle, but enough to add a refreshing atmosphere.
If there's little artificial light - or if you like the sound of this idea whatever the light - find a beautiful and strong branch that has fallen from a tree, maybe in a nearby park or woodland. Choose one that is right for the size of your room. Place it in an attractive and sturdy vase and twine some fairy lights around the branch. Arrange it so that it's near enough to a plug socket and hide the wiring as much as possible.
Turn on the lights and you will have an artistic and original piece for your dining room that looks inviting and cosy.
Have fun!

This depends entirely on your personal taste, style of furnishings, decor of other areas, and so on. Is the area open, so there is a flow into other areas? Is the room closed off? Small? Spacious?
Is your furniture antique and formal? Sparse and modern?
The structure of the home should be considered as well. For example, in a Victorian home, you probably would not want to go with something modern and off-beat such as bright orange or fire engine red.
Neutrals are always good, and to bring top dollar for the sale of the home, experts pick warm creams, beiges, tans, etc.
You could go on the internet and research decor for dining rooms. I'm sure you could find some ideas on both the interior design sites and the paint (Behr, Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, etc. ) sites.

A bare dining room gets a kick from apple-green walls and modern furniture. Use some of these ideas to add color and style in your own home.
When it comes to watching the seasons change, it's hard to beat the view from Kim and Michael Allen's home in Winona, Minnesota. Perched high on a bluff in this Mississippi River town, the house's open plan and floor-to-ceiling windows offer unfettered views of acres and acres of trees.
Yet the view was less inspiring inside the Allens' dining room, where bare walls and earth tones masked the dramatic potential of the open space and contemporary architecture. So Kim called on the Creative Home Design Team to breathe some life into the room.
But, could this neutral-loving family adjust to the bright colors and bold design that editor Wanda Ventling had planned? And would the design team win its race with the clock to transform the room in one short day?
Michael and Kim Allen's house was designed to have a spectacular view from every room, and it does. But the open floor plan that allows the views also presents a challenge: The design of any given room has to work with all the surrounding spaces.
With the seeds of a plan for bringing in the colors of the outdoors already sown in her mind, editor and designer Wanda Ventling took stock of the dining room and adjoining kitchen. Which elements of the room should be nurtured and which pruned back?
"The open, airy floor plan and wood floors were great starting points, but this room was crying out for color," Wanda says. "Plus, we would need to soften the hard lines of the walls and dining table and do something to make a room that has 9-foot ceilings feel more inviting."
Because the design team would have only one day to give the Allens room the contemporary but warm and comfortable look Kim wanted, good planning would be crucial. Wanda aimed to have as many of the design elements as possible ready ahead of time. When the team was ready to load its minivan and head north, the draperies, table runner, and chair cushions had already been sewn; a new dining table and sideboard bought, stripped, and painted; and paint, accessories, and even fresh flowers purchased. "I knew we would have no time for shopping, so I thought through each task to be sure we had all the tools and components we would need to finish in one day," Wanda says. "And I bought more accessories than I thought we would need, just in case one piece didn't work."
It was 7:30 a.m. on a Wednesday when the design team rolled up to the Allens house. They took over the garage as a staging area, setting up stations for paint supplies, shelving fabrication, accessories, and flower arranging. The setup helped the team stay organized for a day that would require everybody to multitask.
Painting was the team s biggest project, and the first one tackled; everything else would be worked into the flow as the paint dried. Because Kim had painted most of the home s main floor in a warm, creamy neutral, Wanda chose to paint the window wall in the dining room the same color to ensure that the made-over space would flow seamlessly with the rest of the house.

Any type based on Yellow or off white or so, so that light reflect around the walls and on the floor. We want to see everything in the dining clear.Because it related to our food that should be free of germs and insects.
