Small-to-Large Dining Room Wall Décor
Choosing the right size canvas for your dining room wall is imperative. Our Ultimate Wall Art Size Guide outlines the top tips for artwork dimensions. We’ve pulled our most helpful excerpt from the guide, and pasted it below for your convenience! Remember, selecting the right size canvas can make a huge difference in the visual cohesion of your space.
Dining Room Wall Decor Pro Tips:
Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.
For instance, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall's 5 feet width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 feet - 6.75 feet and the ideal width would be 3 feet - 3.75 feet.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Working with a smaller space? No problem! Mirrors can help maximize your space. A large mirror can give the illusion that your dining room is twice the size. Plus, you can choose a mirror that emphasizes your personal décor. Choose an ornate, gilded mirror for a more traditional look, or a simple black frame for something more contemporary.

Wow Guests with Wallpaper
Wallpaper is another trend that’s seeing a significant resurgence in 2021. Break up the monotony of blank, white walls with a contemporary pattern. Don’t be afraid to experiment with bright colors and dynamic designs. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is also an excellent choice for rentals, because it makes a bold visual impact but can easily be removed!

Dining Room Wall Decor: Pro Tips
Los Angeles designer Yoko Chow shares her tips for choosing the perfect piece of wall art for your dining room.
“Finding a piece for a dining room may be [a challenge] due to the popularity of open floor plans. Many dining rooms often share the same walls with the kitchen and living room. However, if you have a large blank wall next to your dining table, it may be a good idea to install wall art!”
She expands on her favorite dining room décor trends.
“If Urban Modern style is what you’re after, I would consider this piece, 'Translucent Blue Watercolor.' Blue and green pastel colors create a soft atmosphere while a hint of gold transforms a space into elegance and luxury.”
