Multiple Images

If you have a large wall to cover, adding multiple images is a great way to utilize the space.  Diptychs and triptychs make it easy to
hang multiple images and keep the wall cohesive, or you can break up one image in multiple pieces.  Gallery walls are also a great option for showcasing artwork, family photos, and decor items all on one wall.  Large pieces of art can help expand a small space, especially one without windows, so don’t be afraid to go big!

Make A Statement

Go bold in your dining space and make an impact!  Adding a wallcovering of a print or pattern to your wall(s) is a great way to make a statement.  Create depth in your space with contrasting colors and textures, and mixing in wood or metal accents can add natural elements to your space. When deciding your dining room colors and design, think about how it can complement your entertaining style.  Rich and warm reds can activate your space (and appetites) while incorporating gold or silver can add drama and elegance.

Work With What You’ve Got

Each dining space is unique, so work with what you’ve got!  Find wall decor that fits within your windows and enhances any architectural details.  If you have shelves or a mantle, you can use them to display art and decor without any hanging. You can also use your tableware and the details of the room to help guide your art selection. If you change your décor to get into the holiday spirit, switching out your artwork can be a great way to help make the room feel festively cohesive. For Thanksgiving, adding autumnal themed paintings and photographs can get you and your guests ready for a turkey feast.  As winter approaches and you break out your Christmas decorations, try switching out your wall art for winter-themed images to match the season!
