Color
One of the most important elements to consider when picking dining room wall decor is color. You want to pick colors that complement your space, not clash with it. That means you'll either want to match a few colors within the room or use brighter colors in order to bring attention toward one area. Dark colors tend to make a room feel smaller and are best avoided unless they're specifically going with the theme of your design scheme.
Size
-
Size of the room – It’s important to consider the size of your dining room and how much space you want to fill. If you want a big, bold statement piece, check out our collection of prints with large frames. But if you want something more subtle that blends in with other decor, look for smaller frames or pieces that are framed but not too bulky. You can also hang multiple pieces on one wall to create an interesting focal point without taking up too much space.
-
Size of table – If you have a small table in your dining area, like this round one (pictured above), choose wall art that is large enough so it doesn't compete with the table itself. This way it will be more noticeable when sitting at the table rather than distracting from what's being eaten!
-
Chair backs - The height difference between chair backs and walls is another key factor when choosing artwork for this room: taller chairs will require longer hanging pieces; shorter ones may need something narrower; while stools tend not even need anything at all! For example, if most people will sit at their kitchen island countertops then they probably won't need anything hanging above them because it would only be wasted space since no one would ever see it anyway because everyone's eyes are focused elsewhere (like toward their plates). However if someone does decide which seat best suits them then there could still potentially be problems depending on where exactly they're sitting: someone who chooses a high stool might end up looking directly down upon their food instead which isn't ideal either."
Material
You'll want to consider durability, maintenance and cost when choosing your materials.
-
Durability is important because you want the item to last a long time. You also don't want it to fade or scratch easily over time.
-
Maintenance can be tricky if your material requires regular care and upkeep (such as painting). If you're not a fan of DIY projects, this may not be the right choice for you.
-
Cost is an important factor as well; some items may be more expensive than others because they're made with higher-quality materials or require additional labor for installation or framing.
Style

Style
Depending on your style, the dining room can be a place to go for comfort and relaxation or it can be a place to impress guests. The decor you choose should reflect this as well as how formal or relaxed you want the room to feel.

Consistency with other rooms in the house
If you have an open-plan layout, then it's important that your dining room wall decor fits in seamlessly with other rooms, such as kitchens and hallways. If not, then consider how much money will be spent on decorating each individual area of the home separately before purchasing anything else that could clash with existing styles and colours (or even furniture). This way there won't be any need for expensive redecoration down the line!
Light
Lighting can enhance artwork, but it can also make the artwork look dull. There are several ways to light your wall art, and they all have their pros and cons.
Lamps: If you choose lamps to illuminate your walls, consider both the style of your room and the type of lamp. For example, a simple shaded lamp might be best in a traditional dining room with hardwood floors and polished wooden furniture; if you have modern or contemporary decorating styles in mind for your dining room, go for sleek pendant lights instead! These will hang from above and provide soft illumination that doesn't overpower other design elements in the space (like paintings).
Hanging lanterns are another great option if you want something more subtle than table lamps but still want some sort of lighting fixture hanging from above. They're perfect for highlighting artwork on either side of them because they sit closer to eye level than most table lamps would be placed at—and since they hang down farther away from their sources than most other types of lighting does too!
There are a few details to consider when choosing wall decor for a dining room.
There are a few details to consider when choosing wall decor for a dining room. It should match the existing color scheme of the room, making it easy to integrate into your overall design plan. The piece should also be large enough to make an impact, but not so large that it overwhelms the space. Dining rooms tend to be fairly neutral in terms of color choice and style, so if you have an artistic flair or want something more bolder than what's typically found in these spaces, this is where you'll have some leeway with your choices.
The most important thing is that whatever piece you choose reflects who you are as individuals and as a family unit—and makes its mark on those who come over for holiday dinners!
