Emerald & Blush Dining Room Color Scheme

A jewel-toned dining room scheme that pairs deep emerald walls with soft blush trim and warm brass, all matched to real paint you can buy.

By Jessica Williams · Color Stylist & Interior Editor

Deep Emerald is a showstopper on dining room walls, and that’s exactly where you want one. The deep, almost-jewel green wraps the room in something rich and grown-up, perfect for long dinners and good wine. Because a dining room is mostly an evening space, you can lean into the moodiness here without worrying that it’ll feel heavy during the day.

To keep all that depth from feeling closed in, bring in Soft Blush on the trim and millwork. It’s a quiet, dusty pink that warms the green and adds just a hint of romance, so the room reads glamorous rather than serious. Then let Warm Brass carry the sparkle through a light fixture, picture frames, or chair legs. Walls go emerald, trim and crown go blush, and every metal you touch goes brass.

Questions

Will deep emerald walls make my dining room feel too dark?

Not in a dining room, where you usually gather in the evening anyway. The rich green actually feels cozy and dramatic by candlelight, and the soft blush trim keeps the corners from closing in.

What color should the ceiling be with this scheme?

Keep the ceiling a clean soft white or the same blush as the trim. That gives the eye somewhere to rest and lets the emerald walls take center stage.
