Dining room wall art

last year

Debating wall art for the walls in this dining room that I am updating. Side wall is 15 1/2 ft which includes a door (in the corner) leading to the kitchen (the wall on the left in the first picture). Back wall is 13 ft. Are the dimensions of the two prints shown ok to put on the longer wall, or would one longer piece that mimics the table shape look more pleasing? Thanks for your thoughts and any ideas.

You could use those prints you purchased but you will have to deal with the glare on the glass and the light from the chandelier. You can purchase them in other sizes and formats here.

You have two walls to address so the items for each wall must work together.

Additionally, the color coming from the light bulbs is off for this room.

What's with the mauvey area rug? It has a decidedly pink undertone that is not attractive and is too pink to work with your wall paint. All the rugs shown here are 9x12 and between $250-$275, except for the teal one.

If planning to add a side board type piece at some point, the shorter wall is better for the prints. Depending on their size, one might be sufficient. For now add two. Given there is nothing but the dining table, also suggest large art on the other wall for needed balance and interest. Add painters tape (easier to remove) to get a better sense visually.

Ineed more info and I agree those bulbs are 5000K for sure and too bright for the space . I like 4000K but maybe in your space 3500K. As for thart I need more info like is there a buffet planned and where will it go ? It seems to not be possible but the pics can be deceiving .

I removed a larger buffet from the space as our family is growing and I felt it was in the way when the table was extended. I am contemplating a bar cart for the room that could be moved around - not so much for cocktails but for serving items/desserts when we entertain.

Is there enough room on the side wall for a console, allowing for dining chair movement.

Yes, there is room for a console, providing it is not terribly deep.

Go with a large tryptch in the colors of the room. This will work with the chandelier, as well.

No brass in the room.

IMO art can go on 2 walls they do not need to relate to eachother and I do not like rugs in DRS. I do like a buffet to anchor art if possible and IMO they are also very nice to have to actually use . I agree you need no glare glas son the piece or do canvas with no frame or glass on the next piece . There are many shallow console stables or buffets .
