Read further for our list of 11 unique and trendy wallpaper ideas for a modern dining room. Not only does a single color stay classic for ages, but it also provides an anchor for your changing decor throughout the coming years. If your room seems flat or a little bare, use textured wallpaper to add an interesting pop of color.
When you need to amp up the charm in your farmhouse dining room, choose a Fleur de Lis patterned wallpaper. The Fleur de Lis pattern and its many variations continue to be a staple element of farmhouse decor, like the beige-toned one below.
It harkens back to the 1920s of flapper girls and the Great Gatsby era, a time of affluence and grandeur.
If you want your dining room to look extra formal and fancy, an art deco wallpaper, especially on an accent wall, will help bring that "wow" factor.
Amp up the art deco style even more with jewel tones, gold-finish light fixtures, and black trim. Within this trend lies an alluring cottage core design, which boasts floral patterns, teapots, lace, and anything that makes you think of your grandmother's house.
Hop onto this trend easily by hanging a busy floral pattern in your dining room. Antique furniture and light fixtures become the highlights in this style and wainscoting, intricate wood-carved details, and hardwood flooring.
A more neutral-toned floral patterned wallpaper hung above some wainscoting creates a beautiful finish for your vintage-style dining room. Industrial style decor flaunts exposed pipes and bricks, tarnished metals, and cast-iron elements while remaining modern and sleek. Copy the style without breaking the bank by purchasing a textured brick contact paper to hang on an accent wall in your dining room. Repeating hexagons give the look of honeycomb, which is the perfect pattern for an organic dining room with lots of natural materials.
Concrete textured wallpaper looks sleek and modern and mimics an upscale penthouse or industrial apartment without breaking the bank. Put this wallpaper up opposite a fireplace and use multiple candles on your table for a maximum rustic effect. Now that you possess these top wallpaper ideas for your dining room, it's time to finish the rest of your space with furnishings, light fixtures, and a decor theme.
