Blue is beautiful in all shades and works well in every area of the home, including the dining room. Whether your preference is a formal dining room where you can impress guests, or a casual eating spot for family, blue decor will set the right scene. Dark blue, navy, and deep teal typically create a rich and sophisticated theme, whereas lighter shades and aquas offer a bright and breezy look. Complementary accent colours can be employed to conjure character and added interest, and patterned elements change the aesthetic completely.
