Art ideas for dining rooms
5 December, 2023

Selecting art for a dining room involves considering the room’s décor, colour scheme and personal taste.

I don’t think it is always easy to find the right piece for a dining room. People tend to think that food and/or restaurant related images could work but there are so many other options. Today we are going to show you the less obvious options.

Choose an artwork that fits the available wall space and is proportional to the dining table. It should be hung at eye level when seated.

Consider the existing colours in the room and choose art that complements or contrasts them harmoniously.

Something really bold can totally uplift a room and add a modern twist.

An abstract/graphic piece can become the star of the show – if you get the scale and proportions right this can turn your dining room from a stark space to very impressive.

For small dining rooms you can opt for for an underwhelming abstract which will add warmth to the room and go with the existing colour scheme.

For a serene space matching subtle colours can complete the room.

Ultimately, the choice should reflect your unique style and create a pleasant dining atmosphere.

In March 2006 she opened the gallery in Parkhurst and has thrived in this beautiful space. Her passion for travel affords her the opportunity to take photographs, particularly candid shots of street scenes, graffiti and architecture.
