Need art work for dining room!

9 years ago
Open wall space is 4'H X 14'6"W. Because of the doorway the center of wall is not the center of the table. Not sure how to arrange and not sure what type of wall art to use.

    About Art ....A big bold painting brings serious flair, and can instantly change the vibe of any space.A painting can create a focal point with impact and add both color and dimension.

    Here's some suggestion for your wall you might like......to know more about my Art work and collections please visit my shop on Etsy website -

    I would center this on the wall, but I couldn't work around the light fixture with my software. An image with color isolation might be a good tie-in and allow for some additional accents.

    Your house is a lovely value study of neutrals and grays. You could do one large or a series of colored images, but that might feel like a departure from the rest of the house. Another thought would be a gallery wall of black and white photos, may be more in keeping with the rest of the house

    Blue Stone, I love the way your choice balances the monochromatic style of the room with just that touch of enriching colour. It made me so happy I had a rush of helpfulness to the head. Here it is hung centrally on the wall, and centred on the table.

    Love the painting, just think I may need multiples or something else to take up more wall space.

    I don't think so. Space is beautiful too, as part of the entire look. You could put another piece of art to the left of the door for balance, not too close to it. A smaller vertical.

    Yeah I agree^ covering too much of the walls w a bunch of artwork is something that many people do that makes the room seem smaller imo.

    Hi April!

    You have a beautiful home and you've done a great job so far. There is two ways to tackle this challenge. One solution is gathering a collection of different pieces of art that you have a feeling for and frame them in a similar frame style and color. I would start with a large image, or mirror in the middle and then group 2 smaller images on both sides of the large piece. Another option is to add either wall sconces or wall brackets on either side of a large painting. I would always center the grouping on the wall. A series of black and white artworks would be very dramatic.

    You've done a great job so far. Keep up the good work. Send pictures of the finished room.

    P.S - Think of things in three dimensions. Not everything needs to be a flat piece of art. Mirrors are great in a dining room, they are positive Feng Shui. It means you will always have food on your table.


    All the best,

    Betsy

    April, I love your room, by the way. ;-)

    The image is available in several sizes and can be printed on canvas to give it more of a painting appearance. It can also be printed on aluminum and other materials with mounting blocks on the back so it stands out from the wall. I always like the options with mounting blocks because the natural light in the room creates a dynamic "shadow frame" that moves as the direction of light moves. It's a very contemporary look. Our metallic fine art prints are another option. The paper adds a sheen to specific areas, such as the red leaf. Just a slight shimmer. But the fine art prints are unframed whereas the other options are ready-to-hang.

    I'd center the art w chandelier/table.
    If you are wanting a huge piece of art (which I would advise against in this space) because you want extra interest, you could instead add wallpaper to the tray ceiling (I'd choose a somewhat subtle wallpaper) :
