House of Chais
Chances are, you haven't given a second thought to your dining room since moving in.
This room's purpose is often underestimated, when in reality, it can be one of the most critical spaces in our homes. The dining room is the perfect place for eating our favorite meals and socializing with our closest friends, family, and confidants. But even still, we relegate it to the bottom of our lists, and instead focus on our bedside setup or living room layout.
To combat this, we are sharing 29 reasons to reignite your passion for your dining room in the form of incredibly chic wall décor. In no time, you'll see how a little extra time and consideration can switch your dining area over from a neglected space to a room you'll want to linger in for a few extra hours—even after the plates are cleared away.

You don't just have to stick to paintings or photos when it comes to wall art. Instead, try playing with texture and color through the installation of an abstract tapestry. It feels a touch more artsy and personal than your classic framed prints.

Amplify light in your dining room by tacking a mirror on the wall. It will create an impressive warm glow during dusk and dawn and make the space feel bigger and brighter throughout the rest of the day.

Many color palettes consist of different colors that meld well together, but what about blending different shades of the same color? Green, in this case, is being used in a variety of tones, from the velvety moss-colored chairs to the bold tapestry and actual plants in the center of the table.

Bespoke Only
Prevent boring walls from the get-go by plastering your dining room walls in an ornate wallpaper. This alone will give it some attitude or ambiance, but also set the perfect backdrop if you'd like to add in framed art or light fixtures.

Even if you choose more subtle wall art, your walls themselves can show a bit of personality.
In this dining room, a brick wall is a nice change up from the usual plaster and adds a bit of visual interest without needing to hang or paint on anything extra.

Since choosing wall art for a dining room tends to be the final stage rather than a foundational conundrum to solve, you can pull a lot of inspiration from the overall vibe the space already has. If industrial is the name of the game, a concrete-inspired piece of art is a chic move to draw the eye in.

Wall art definitely serves as the cherry on top in this dining room, but it's really the color palette that makes it so spectacular. Bright orange and tangerine hues on both the wall and floor create a warm and inviting space for sharing meals and hosting visitors.

Sometimes it only takes one piece to really jazz up a table surrounded by blank walls. In this particular room, the canvas offers a soft wash of color and provides a great bit of detail to a more minimal dining space.

White walls, of course, don't always equate to cold or empty feelings. They can be a superb way of keeping minimalism at the core of your room, as shown above.

Blend the beautiful worlds of paint and wallpaper by creating your own abstract patterns on your walls. This works its magic by removing the need for any extra décor, but if you are feeling like adding an artwork or two, it helps frame it and set the mood.

Gail Davis Designs
The dining room can be an optimal space for experimentation. While you might not choose bright pink or a bold orange for the bedroom, you can pull it off effortlessly here. Grab a little inspiration from this dining room that pairs two complementary colors on the walls and makes it look undeniably sophisticated.

Gray Space Interiors
One of the best ways to utilize the walls of your dining room is by tying together all your accent colors.
The artwork hung here helps tie up loose ends and bring together the brown, blue, and black shades that are scattered throughout the space.

The House on Hillside Lane
For rooms without distinct walls or barriers, you can use décor that fits well between two spaces. Case in point? This lovely blanket ladder that is meant for a living room but doesn't feel out of place in the dining zone.

Kaelyn Guerin
If you're not keen on hanging things from the wall or painting, a display case and stacking accent objects is a great option. It dresses up the room without requiring any drills or adhesive and makes it so you can instantly rearrange the space based on the occasion, holiday, or season.

House of Chais
Black paint will forever be a major style move. It adds drama and a bit of edginess, but also feels cozy and inviting at the same time. If your dining room features this color, white and light-colored paintings and prints will really pop and contrast perfectly against the shade of the walls.

Mocha Girl Place
Living rooms are often the bearers of gorgeous accent walls, but this is a prime example of why your dining room should be a candidate for a wall upgrade. Whatever you choose to hang up will instantly become a conversation piece and makes the space feel cozier and intentional—rather than just a spare room where holiday dinners sometimes take place.

Pure Collected Living
Create a clean wall display with a set of matching frames or pieces of art. It gives you the personality that accent walls provide, but the cohesion that you might crave if you identify as a minimalist. It's also a lovely way to incorporate darker accent colors that might feel too heavy as a wall color.

For a splash of beachy bohemian, you can most definitely rely on your walls, as they can provide more use than a surface for holding artwork. This set up here uses beadboard, a porthole mirror, and wavy sconces to cement a sea-faring-meets-boho theme—and contribute a fair share of style to the room.

Black & Blooms
If you'd like to keep your space as-is but are in need of a little pick-me-up, floating plants and pretty botanicals for your ceiling and walls is a fabulous solution. They provide life, color, and instant décor that requires little effort and isn't permanent—hello, renters.

Incorporating live and dried plants into a space is always a design do, but there are other ways you can pay tribute to the leaves and fronds that help liven every corner of our homes. Artwork and wallpaper, as seen here, can help bring that serene nature feeling from outside into your dining room.

Victoria Bell Design
The entire width of your wall can become a major statement without any paint or nails. By constructing an expansive shelving unit, you can customize the décor based on your tastes or the time of year and swap out the objects that line the cabinet whenever you're feeling a bit tired of what's on display.

Morse Design
To complement warm light fixtures and furniture pieces, opt for artwork or sculptures that are equally as cozy. You can see from this dining room that even without a warm coat of paint, you can still make it feel inviting depending on the items you choose to adorn the area with.

Marie Flanigan Interiors
You may envision flashy colors and busy patterns when you think of wallpapering a space. But, your options are not that limited. In fact, wallpaper can be rather discrete and simple, like seen here. The leaves feel more like an elegant trailing plant rather than a product that's been plastered to the wall.

Amber Pierce Designs
Even if the artwork you choose is a similar color to the rest of your dining room, the sheer fact that they come an inch or so off the wall is a guaranteed way to add interest. This provides dimension and ensures your walls won't feel bare and boring.

No space for a wine pantry, much less a bar cart? Your dining room walls might be calling.
If your vino collection is something you're passionate about, you can install a geometric chevron display or similar to keep things organized and looking trendy.

Anne Sage
Slim shelves are a great way to change up the usual few paintings on the wall. While you can pile on more artwork, they also allow for four-dimensional objects like mini planters, pottery, and candlesticks to make an appearance.
27 of 29
Katie Hodges Design
The light blue, pink, and black colors that are ever-so-slightly present in this room, like in the carpet and vases, make a second appearance in the print hanging on the wall. These hardly noticeable colors make the art blend in seamlessly, but also stand out at the same time.
28 of 29
Dan Rak Design
Whether it's shiplap, brick, or a textured paint, white walls instantly become more stylish when they have a little added flair. With a single painting or print, you can create a stunning dining room wall layout that doesn't feel overbearing.

Erin Williamson Design
The metallic accents found in the wallpaper, wall art, and glimmering chandelier make this dining room glow without nearing the line of gaudy. These subtler touches give a glamorous vibe and make a case for straying from the matte minimalism that's so popular these days.

Is your wall above the dining table still empty? We tell you how to highlight it, how to decorate and fill it: 22 beautiful ideas for wall decor
The fact that the dining area also requires decoration, many began to think quite recently. In most cases, the wall above the dining table was occupied by a calendar (okay, if not last year's) or whatever paintings came to hand.
Today, the attitude towards interior design has changed a lot, and the dining area has begun to pay no less attention than the interior of a bedroom or bathroom. The place where we meet with the whole family every day should be not only comfortable, but also stylish and cozy. We talk about the decor of the wall above the dining table using examples. nine0003
Classic wall decoration above the dining area. Typically, gastronomic images, a series of black and white images or a collection of reproductions are chosen for decoration. The choice of a picture is a matter of taste, but one should not forget about the harmonious combination of the image, the frame and the interior itself.
Another version of the traditional decor for the dining area. Ideal for Provence, Country, Rustic styles.
If your nightstands are full of straw hats, wicker baskets, unwanted vinyl records, cutting boards or vintage radios, use the collection to decorate the wall. nine0003
There is probably no kitchen where the clock is not used in the interior.
But your wall above the dining area requires special decor. Why not decorate it with a huge clock or, for example, a whole collection of rare wall clocks?
This decor option came to us not so long ago from foreign interiors and is already actively used in the design of hallways, children's rooms and kitchens. The writing board can be chalk or slate, cork, magnetic. It is convenient to quickly write down recipes, messages to loved ones and shopping lists. nine0003
A traditional idea for practical decor. Open shelves above the dining area are good for interior items, displaying your collection, for useful little things.
Not a fresh, but always relevant idea for those who watch a new interesting movie every family dinner.
We highlight the wall above the dining area with a color or textured material, a combination of different materials, bright wallpaper, an original print, a niche or a protruding part of the wall.
Photo panels, 3D vinyl stickers or a fragment of 3D photo wallpaper in the dining area will also highlight the wall above the table.
Images that are too large, like giant tomatoes or pods, are best left for other rooms: the smaller the 3D fragment, the smaller the objects depicted on it should be.
Is it appropriate to use a mirror in the kitchen or dining room as an accent wall? Yes! Stylish and beautiful. And the mirror will add light and visually expand the boundaries of the room.
Editor's note:
— If your dining area is located in the middle of the dining room or kitchen, this does not mean that it cannot be beautifully decorated. Your tools are lamps, carpets and runners, pillows and other decor for chairs, napkins for plates, and so on.
The richer your lighting scenario, the more cozy the atmosphere of the dining area. Add a couple of wall sconces, pendant lights to illuminate your dining table, or a trendy floor lamp.
An idea that does not lose its relevance is the design of the loft dining area under a brick. Brickwork imitation options: decorative brick, 3D PVC panels, labor-intensive version with plaster, 3D brick wallpaper, decorative gypsum tiles, brick-cut drywall panels and flexible stone chips.
nine0003
The decor of large letters (gypsum, wood, cork and others) still does not give up its positions - it is still used to decorate the walls. They lay out the family name, initials, quotes on the wall in letters, and also decorate the wall with a collection of one letter in different design options or a completely random set of letters. "Because it's beautiful."
Thematic kitchen decor - cutlery. It can be a collection of spoons, a panel with silhouettes of spoons and forks, or, for example, large-sized decorative cutlery. nine0003
Light, beautiful and stylish idea. Vintage things in the interior always look spectacular: plates, letters, empty frames, mirrors and photographs, watches and dishes, vintage boxes instead of shelves, and so on.
So that such a design does not evoke associations with mourning wreaths, use a minimum of decor on the rings - leave part of the circle empty, without flowers, branches, spruce paws. Or use decor that will evoke radically different thoughts and emotions: branches with berries or tangerines, for example.
In the form of a circle, you can place your collections of plates, records and other items on the wall. nine0003
Spectacular and stylish decor option, a great alternative to TV. Less time for bad news, more time for family.
An idea for when the budget is limited. There are so many options for handmade wall decor that even a person without special talents can find an idea for himself with the possibility of implementation.
Ideas for a green wall above the dining table: stabilized moss and tillandsias, flowers in small hanging pots on vintage railings, a living phytowall for the entire accent wall, succulents in miniature cones. nine0003
Storing wine requires a certain temperature, which must be maintained on a constant basis. If you can’t afford a wine cabinet, you can get by with an original hanging structure for storing wine and glasses.
A beautiful idea with the right implementation. For example, choose your favorite photos, edit them to a single style, put them under glass and find beautiful frames, and correctly place them on the wall.
