“Too many people just eat to consume calories. Try dining for a change.” – John Walters

The dining room is where we enjoy home-cooked meals, toast to good health, and host friends and family. To leave this room and its walls undecorated is a disservice to not just our home but also ourselves.

So take a moment and think about what your dining room looks like right now. Is the space decorated to the nines, with curated decor from floor to ceiling? Or is it little more than a set of bare walls framing a table and chairs?

If you’re unsure where to start, these dining room wall decor ideas prove just how big an impact a few small details can make.

1. Dining Room Gallery Wall Decor Ideas

When styling a gallery wall for your dining room (or any space, for that matter), there are two ways you can go. You can go with an ultra-symmetrical, clean, modern, and sleek look. Or get eclectic by incorporating decor of various sizes, shapes, and even materials.

If you’d like your gallery wall to appear as one cohesive piece of decor, use a strict color palette. This is easy to do if you’re sourcing photos, artwork, and wall hangings from scratch. A black-and-white filter can create a cohesive look if your existing photos don’t share a common color scheme.

Incorporating multimedia wall decorations can add much-needed character and dimension. Or mix in framed items like paintings, art prints, blueprints, posters, and maps with your gallery wall photos.
