Dining Room Wall Ideas: Pro Tips in 2024

If you’re thinking about creating a striking gallery wall with your layout of choice, follow these tips for hanging multiple pieces of artwork:

“While leaving enough space is essential, you also don’t want matching artwork to sit too far apart. Whether you’re hanging two images side by side, or an entire wall of family photos, each piece should be 2”-3” apart from one another. Putting too much distance in between corresponding canvases can look awkward and disconcerting. It should almost look like one continuous work of art, with just enough space to create a dynamic appearance.”

Dining Wall Decor Ideas: Size Guide

When selecting your ideal canvas size, follow our ultimate wall art size guide below:

Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.

For instance, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall's 5 feet width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 feet - 6.75 feet and the ideal width would be 3 feet - 3.75 feet.
