Choose a burgundy shade inspired by a deep, rich red wine.
Burgundy, a rich shade of violet-red, is an excellent choice for a dining room. Whether you're after a minimal, urban look or prefer a romantic, traditional dining space, burgundy half-walls can combine with many other shades of paint and work well with different design styles. Opt for a burgundy that reminds you of your favorite wine when selecting a paint sample; this color is a true burgundy and will complement both warm- and cool-toned accent colors.
Cream
Cream works well with a burgundy space. It is a soft, warm tone that creates a canvas for a classic, traditional dining room. Incorporating thick, cream-colored moldings throughout the room adds an elegant, formal touch to your dining space. Paired with dark wooden furniture, such as a dining table and hutch, as well as a set of cream-colored upholstered dining chairs, this is an ideal combination for a warm and inviting dining room.
White
White also works with burgundy walls. White gives a bright, fresh feel to any space and, when paired with burgundy, creates a contemporary, modern appeal. Add an elegant, simple and modern table, together with '70s-inspired dining chairs, reminiscent of a school cafeteria, for an informal dining space. Framed black-and-white photographic prints will work especially well with this choice of paint colors. This dining room will be modern with cool-toned influences throughout.
Gold
Gold is a strong color and can often be described as ornate. If you're seeking a romantic dining room with an "old-world" look or even something described as "Parisian," then gold is an ideal solution. Use several coats of gold paint for a darker tone on the bottom of the walls or keep to one to two coats for a lighter background. Add brass molding throughout the room as an ideal trim. Choose a dining table in darker wood, typically an antique, as well as fabric-covered chairs. Opt for a damask or floral pattern in hues of gold, burgundy and brown.
Nutmeg, Tan and Shades of Brown
A medium-colored shade of brown also works with burgundy walls. Opt for a matte, not-too-dark and not-too-light shade in a nutmeg, tan or cappuccino. Think of coffee with cream when browsing the paint samples for your desired color. Burgundy is a dark color and can work with warm and cool tones; pairing it with a shade of brown works in a traditional, contemporary or even a romantic space. It's a versatile pairing of color and will work with many kinds of textiles or furnishings.
