It gives a warm, dramatic feel, enhances the appetite, encourages socialising, and is flattering on the complexion.

Combine red with gorgeous, low level lighting and plush seating, as here.

Keep it all light colored to suit the small space, and to give traditional-looking furniture a nice, modern feel.

The touches of yellow create a bright and welcoming style.

Nice use of blue accents to contrast, in the wall feature, and the blue light fitting.

Also see how the 'swirl' features are repeated around the room, in stencils, light fitting, table decor, and even the style and shape of the chairs. A striking and unusual look - works well!

The monochromatic scheme in black and white, with pretty pink touches works really well - pretty and feminine but never twee! Gorgeous!

A relaxing look as colors overall are kept pale and pastel toned - but the accents of red liven it all up a bit and give it a quirky touch. Lovely scheme - and easy and practical to live with in the home.

Look how the low-hung light echoes the shape and position of the table - a style choice as well as to illuminate the meal. The table is nicely positioned in the room, too, to take advantage of the large window.

Nice accents of red stop it all becoming too white and bland - a good touch!

Choose warm, deep colors for a dining room to be used in the evenings.

Upholstered chairs look the business, and are soft and comfortable for a relaxed evening meal.

Make sure you use woods that are all similar in tone, to make a look like this work.

Add a fab, statement piece, such as this unusual, pendant, centre-light.

The rug looks really good, and does an excellent job of drawing attention to the dining table - but take care it doesn't get too messy at meal times!

Note the way the table centre-piece really complements the whole color scheme.

Look how comfortable, easy chairs have been sat at the ends of the table - for much more versatility around the room - and comfort!

The table centre-pieces are unusual - but, again, really suit the whole look and color scheme of this room.
