The dining room has long been seen as a hub for lively conversations and memorable moments among family and friends alike. During the pandemic, home-cooked meals made a comeback, causing many people to value the dining room space more than ever before.
So whether you’re staring at your dining room walls in a different light or are decorating a new place from scratch, Minted is here to guide you through the process of selecting dining room wall art that perfectly complements your space and your personality. In this article we’ll share ways to sort through countless art options — whether it’s by room size, furniture type, or theme — and design a dining room that’s welcoming to one and all.
Among all the rooms in the home, dining rooms tend to be the most varied in size. Because of this, it’s important to incorporate the size factor into your search for dining room art ideas.
If your home features a grand dining space, chances are it has a more formal feel. This is the perfect opportunity for prominent wall spaces to make a statement with large dining room wall art.
You may want to use large statement pieces to take up big walls.

When it comes to dining room wall decor, considering the amount of wall space is key. Your medium-size dining room might fit 12 chairs or eight, but the layout and wall area is what you want to focus on.
If you have a good amount of wall area and want to hang multiple art pieces, a gallery wall is a great way to go.

If there are tall ceilings or elemental designs you’d like to incorporate, those are important things to note.
Utilizing the layout of the space is encouraged! Don’t be afraid to honor wall textures and spaces to create a feeling of unity through art. This may also apply if you have a fireplace in your dining room.

If your dining room is made for more intimate entertainment, then you’ll want to maximize small spaces as much as possible.
Utilize vertical space to make the room feel larger.

Consider shelving for a modern dining room wall art look.
Creatively use small spaces for wall art.
If the core features of your dining room have already been defined — think furniture, paint colors, etc. — then seek to maximize the potential through art. You can more quickly sort through artwork by style this way, such as art deco dining room looks, or modern dining room art.
Complement a bohemian vibe with artwork that is unconventional, rich in jewel tones, and full of earthy colors.

If your dining room incorporates art deco inspired furniture, use abstract art for dining room walls.
If a traditional dining room style is the name of the game, go with formal dining room wall art.

If your furniture is quite minimalist, you can tie into this with simple yet beautiful wall art. Similarly, if your furniture is bold and beautiful, you may also consider toned down wall art to complement and enhance it.

Dining room decor can be defined by room size, furniture type, and also by theme. What does that mean exactly? Here are a few examples.
Some dining rooms use references to the garden throughout. Large windows, Persian rugs or vine-themed wallpaper might even be involved! Use colorful or floral artwork to complement it.

In a glitzy dining room, use decadent artwork. Not only will this make the space feel more rich, it’ll make guests even more ready to indulge. Try searching for abstract art for dining room wall art that incorporates rich colors.

Another way to decorate your dining room is through photography art prints, rather than traditional fine art. Celebrating moments captured on film will not only make for great dinner table conversation, it can also tie in with the colors you use in your dining room.
