Stylish Decor Ideas for Your Empty Dining Room Wall

When it comes to designing your dining space, the décor often plays just as big a role as the dining table and chairs.

So if you’re looking to do some decorating in the dining area, simply try adding or swapping out the wall décor! We’re sharing some of our favorite dining room wall décor ideas and looks to help you get inspired.

Dining Room Wall Mirror Ideas

One of the most versatile pieces of wall décor, a wall mirror can fill a room with brightness, dimension, and even the illusion of extra space. Keep reading to see our favorite dining room mirror looks …

Extra-Wide Mirrors

Mirrors always make a room look bigger, so a wide horizontal wall mirror is perfect for spanning your dining room accent wall and lengthening the space. The bigger the better!

On-Trend Accent Mirrors

We love the grid-lined round wall mirror used in this dining room. Its minimal-chic design doesn't demand attention, but adds an unmistakable dose of contemporary style to the dining room.

Mixed-and-Matched Styles

For an exciting eclectic vibe in the dining room, choose pieces in different materials, styles, and colors to mix together. We love the contrast between this glamorous gold mirror and the natural fibers and wood finishes in the dining room.

A Glamorous Statement Mirror

Sometimes, less is more. Use a single large mirror to create a focal point on an otherwise blank wall to achieve a sleek, modern look in the dining area. Choose a frame with a glossy metallic finish for an extra dose of glamour.

Wall Art Trends for the Dining Room

When it comes to wall décor, there’s nothing like an impressive piece of artwork. Wall art allows you to express your decorative tastes, define your color palette, and add dimension to the walls. Here are some of our favorite ways to add artwork to the dining area …

Oversized Statement Wall Art

Use a single piece of eye-catching wall art to make a statement in the dining room. Choose something with bold colors, intricate designs, or a unique frame to really anchor the space.

Gallery Wall Art in the Dining Room

Make a more eclectic statement with your dining room wall décor by creating a gallery of your favorite pieces. Pair a handful of mismatched-but-coordinating paintings or prints to create a look that's eccentric yet cohesive.

Art to Match the Color Scheme

To make a subtler statement with wall art, choose a piece that blends naturally into its surroundings. We love the way this canvas mimics the gray, white, and black tones of the dining room, while the few pops of metallic copper complement the metal finishes in the space.

Dining Room Wall Accents

A unique departure from standard canvases and frames, decorative accents such as wall sculptures, clocks, and hanging wall tapestries are perfect for adding texture and whimsy to the dining room. Here are some of our favorite trends:

Metallic Wall Sculptures

Add a touch of glam to your dining space with a striking wall sculpture in a metallic finish. We love the way these leafy framed wall hangings pop against the dark blue wall paint.

Metal Signage as Wall Décor

Reclaimed metal signs (or new ones that just look vintage) are perfect for adding industrial edge to the dining room. Pair with reclaimed wood, wrought iron, or concrete accents to keep the look cohesive.

A Sculptural Wall Clock

Use an oversized wall clock to make a sculptural statement in the dining room. Clocks made from materials like reclaimed wood and wrought iron are great for adding rustic style to your space.

Wall Tapestries & Hangings

Add unique texture to your dining room walls with a woven tapestry. Fabrics, tassels, and other textural details provide tons of dimension while lending softness and warmth to the space.

Wallpaper & Wall Tile Ideas

Thinking bigger than individual pieces of hanging wall décor? Try decorating the entire wall with wallpaper or textured wall tiles. Keep scrolling to see some of our favorite trending looks …

Subtle Tropical Wallpaper

Choose a wallpaper with neutral colors and subtle prints to elevate your space without overwhelming it. The muted gray color scheme and barely-there pattern makes this dining room wallpaper perfect for adding understated tropical style.

Shiplap Dining Room Walls

Incorporate this architectural trend with real wood paneling or a wallpaper lookalike. Peel-and-stick wallpaper allows you to get the texture you've always wanted without any hassle or renovations.

Textured Wall Tiles

Use 3D wall tiles to create touchable texture in the dining room. Whether you're interested in subway tile, patterned wall flats, or small mosaic tiles, your dining room will look even more striking and dynamic with the addition of some texture.
