Canvas Wall Art for a Dining Room

Dining room canvas wall art can connect the table, lighting and surrounding furniture into one clear focal area. Choose the wall position first, then select an orientation, width and colour palette that fit the room.

Where to place dining room wall art

Strong positions include above a sideboard, on the wall beside the dining table, or on the main wall visible from an open living area. Centre the artwork on the furniture or dining zone it belongs to. In an open-plan room, make sure the piece is distinct from the living-room focal wall.

Choose the orientation

Horizontal artwork works naturally above a long sideboard or rectangular table. A square canvas can suit a compact breakfast area, while a vertical composition can make use of a narrow wall between a doorway and cabinet. Measure the full available area and review the canvas wall art size guide.

Dining room colours and subjects

Abstract, botanical, floral and landscape pieces are flexible choices. Coffee, bar and cocktail artwork can create a more specific dining or entertaining mood. Browse dining room canvas wall art, botanical canvas wall art, and coffee, bar and cocktail canvas wall art.

Before choosing

• View the wall from seated and standing positions.
• Keep the canvas clear of chair backs, doors and serving surfaces.
• Repeat colours from the rug, chairs, table or lighting.
• Use one strong focal point rather than several unrelated pieces.
