Wall decor in dinning room

10 years ago
I need help with wall art for a large wall in my dinning room. The wall is large and boring. It's about 14 feet long and the ceilings are 10 feet tall. I don't like contemporary art..I've attached a picture of the colors from our great room. It's open concept so something to bring it together would be great. One large picture? I love the look of picture groupings. I'd appreciate any help

    It seems traditional in living room and more modern light fixture so I would do something like this

    Visit your local art gallery, or check out art.com. If art is standard size, go to AC Moore for frames. Watch for their 30% off sales. If not standard size, so to a local custom framer. Make sure to get plexiglass instead of glass for safety and lighter weight.

    Is there a rule or guide for size? I had a picture there but it seemed too small

    I like your centerpiece!

    The art or art grouping should fill 2/3 - 3/4 the width of whatever is beneath it, in your case, the table.

    If you don't feel confident about arranging a gallery-style wall yourself, you can buy pre-arranged frame sets and then just have your own photos or art printed to the appropriate sizes. Please do not get those collage frames that hold little snapshots; they don't belong hung on walls.


    This grouping might not be large enough, but it's an example of a picture frame set:

    Your dining room chandelier is too high. Lower it to around 34”-36” over table top.

    The chandelier is great. I would suggest a mirror to reflect it.

    I see I've worked on this room before. You must not have liked the Cezanne?

    How about this?

    I liked the Cezanne..but wanted colors to coordinate more since the house is so open.

    Can you show pics of what colors you want to work with in your other furnishings? Nothing seems to show colors.

    How about plates and platters on the wall, in a nice grouping, since it is a dining room.

    Torrekym...where did your suggestions come from? I'm attaching the picture of my rug for colors

  • 10 years ago

    since the wall is pretty wide and the ceilings are a good height... I think you should do a triptych, which is three equal sized images usually one image that is cut into three and then framed separately. It looks like you have enough going on in the room with the mix matched furniture and the traditional rug, the pillows and the more traditional details on the furniture I think keeping it clean and classic would balance those other elements out. The frame should maybe introduce a bit of a metal or wood painted metallic... and the art should be serene abstract landscape. Hope this helps. :) good luck!

    It's hard to see in the picture but the rug is a slate blue. Thank you!

    You already have a lovely rustic feel to your dining room, perhaps you could place some dark wooden shelves to fill up the wall and then decorate it with mason jars. This is what I have in mind:

    I love those shelves but really wanted to add some color

    I think I would try to make it fun with it not being a formal dining room/next to kitchen and it can still be soft and pretty - and I would go large or use two pieces.

    And that would look pretty with this rug that I just bought for my dining room that I cannot use... Lol. But I got at homegoods… So you know how that goes… One of a kind.

    I love the dandelion theme on the floral carpet!

    So perhaps stick with that?

    We carry a beautiful affordable printed canvas that is neutral enough to coordinate:

    Otherwise, perhaps a collage with some of your favorite photographs?

    Best of luck with the space!

    Lynn Terry...I love that rug, I hope you find somewhere to use it!

  • 9 years ago

    Lynn, how's it going?....

  • 9 years ago

    I'm working with an artist that will do a painting on commission....its a big investment! Hope I love it. I want something neutral ....if I was going to add any color I want it more muted..any suggestions or example I could show the artist?
