As the heart of your home, your dining room deserves attention, and one of the most effective ways to enhance its ambiance is through thoughtfully selected wall decor.


If you’re stuck on how to decorate your dining room or want an easy way to upgrade your old dining area, you’ve come to the right place! In this article, we'll explore 7 dining room wall decor ideas that will elevate your dining experience and transform your space into a feast for the eyes.

7 wall decor ideas for your dining room


A gallery wall


Turn your dining room into a gallery of cherished memories and make it uniquely yours.


Select a wall in your dining room, typically the walls behind the dining table, to display family photos, artwork, or mementos. Invest in a collection of matching frames or choose frames that complement each other in terms of colour, style, or size to ensure a cohesive look for your gallery.

Place statement artwork


An oversized piece of artwork can become the focal point of your dining room, instantly catching your guests’ attention. It anchors the space and sets the tone for the entire dining area.


Choose a painting, photograph, or sculpture that resonates with your style and complements your dining room's colour scheme.

Ensure that the size of the artwork is appropriate for the wall and the room. Statement pieces are often larger, filling a significant portion of the wall. Choosing the right size will ensure you create a stylish space without overwhelming the dining area.


Incorporate mirrors


According to dining room feng shui principles, having mirrors in the dining room can enhance the dining experience and attract abundance. Strategically placing mirrors that face the dining table reflects the food and ‘doubles the meal’. In feng shui practices, this symbolises ‘doubling your abundance’.

Even if you’re not a feng shui believer, placing mirrors in the dining room is still a fantastic choice. For smaller dining rooms, mirrors reflect light which creates an illusion of a larger space.


Install floating shelves


Floating shelves are a practical and stylish addition to any dining room as they give your dining space a sleek look and maximise vertical space.

You can use the floating shelves to display decorative items like vases, candles, and unique collectibles. Mix in some practical elements, such as cookbooks or wine racks, for a balance of form and function.


Have a wallpaper accent wall


A beautifully patterned or textured wallpaper can breathe life into your dining room. Consider an accent wall with a unique design to add personality and charm without overwhelming the space.

Have a well-decorated sideboard


If you’re not looking to make permanent damage or changes to your walls by drilling holes or pasting wallpaper, especially if you’re renting, a sideboard in the dining room can be a great choice.


Position the sideboard against a plain wall in your dining room. This wall acts as the backdrop for your decor and allows for easy rearrangement or updates in the future. Decorate the surface of the sideboard with potted plants, vases, picture frames, and artwork to create a cosy and intimate dining spot.
