Wallpaper for the dining room

Wallpaper in the dining room must do justice to the fact that the dining room is a place for socialising. As a place where families and friends come together to eat and spend time together, the dining room should convey a particularly cosy and inviting atmosphere.

For a harmonious wall design, wallpaper in the dining room can also express a personal touch with colours and designs and transform the dining room into a cosy, sociable space.

What do you need to consider with wallpaper for dining rooms?

Modern wallpaper in the dining area

Wallpapers in a modern style translate current trends or reinterpret traditional patterns in a unique way, creating an inviting and timeless atmosphere in the dining area. Wallpapers with a geometric pattern give the wall an orderly structure in subtle or striking colours. Abstract designs are expressive and create a modern dynamic in the dining area and a stylish depth on the wall in different colours and textures.

Vintage wallpaper in the dining room

Vintage-style wallpaper gives the dining room a timeless and cosy atmosphere. Although they are associated with past decades, vintage-style wallpapers are becoming increasingly popular in modern dining rooms. In particular, floral patterns with flowers in soft shades of pink, blue or beige create a romantic and nostalgic flair in the room. For admirers of the French country house style, wallpapers with toile-de-juoy patterns are ideal for creating an artistic effect.

Dining room wallpaper in Scandinavian country house style

The Scandinavian country house style can be implemented in the dining room with wallpaper that is characterised by light colours, imitations of natural materials and a minimalist aesthetic. This creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for a dining area. In colours such as beige, grey or white, Scandinavian dining room wallpapers help to create a natural and relaxed atmosphere. Similarly, minimalist stripe designs in pastel or neutral colours are suitable for creating an appealing aesthetic on the wall in the dining room. Wallpapers with playful floral patterns, which are popular in Sweden, add a lively touch to the dining room without being overbearing.

Wallpaper for the dining room in wood, concrete or stone look

Wood-effect wallpapers are suitable for visually enlarging the dining room and giving it a rustic but elegant flair. Stone wallpapers also create a warm atmosphere by imitating natural materials. Natural stones such as travertine and sandstone or different coloured bricks and tiles bring an orderly structure to the wall and create high-quality accents. Concrete-look wallpapers are particularly suitable for creating a modern, industrial-style look in the dining room. Dining room wallpapers in a wood, concrete or stone look bring a natural charm and cosy atmosphere to the room and can be perfectly combined with other furnishings. Textured wallpapers that imitate silk, linen or grass are also an extravagant option for wall design in the dining room. The three-dimensionality and feel of these textured wallpapers give the wall an interesting depth and are particularly suitable for an aesthetic accent wall in the dining room.

Which wallpapers are suitable for small dining rooms?

For dining areas with a smaller surface area, it is a good idea to use monochrome wallpaper in neutral shades such as beige, grey or white. This makes the dining room appear more spacious, lighter and wider. Wallpaper patterns with vertical stripes create an illusion of height in the dining area and designs with metallic or shiny elements play with the light to create depth on the wall. When using patterned wallpaper in smaller dining rooms, care should be taken to use discreet designs so as not to overload the walls and avoid creating an overwhelming atmosphere.

Wallpaper in the dining room as a visual boundary to the kitchen or living room

In many houses or flats, the dining area is not a separate room but is used as part of the kitchen or living room. Due to the lack of walls and doors, it is a good idea to create a visual boundary in order to showcase the dining area in style. Pattern wallpaper with an eye-catching design or colour compositions that differ from the wall design of the kitchen or living room can be used for this purpose - so the dining room is perceived as a separate living space. An extravagant pattern wallpaper is particularly suitable for an accent wall to focus on the dining room table as the centrepiece of a dining room and create an interesting visual contrast to the other walls in the room. Photo wallpapers with landscape or city motifs are also suitable for an accent wall.

Which wallpaper colours are suitable for the dining room?

Wallpapers in light and neutral colours such as white or beige are suitable for the dining room and can be combined with different dining room furniture to create a natural and stylish ambience. Patterns with grey or black elements look particularly elegant and modern. A bolder wall design in the dining area with wallpaper in stronger colours such as orange or red looks particularly warm and inviting. Cool colours such as blue or green create a refreshing yet calming atmosphere. Overall, light and pastel wallpapers can make the dining room appear larger and airier, while darker colours create a cosy, intimate atmosphere.
