Dining room wall art: textured paintings for above the table and sideboard
A dining room is seen from the table, often in the evening, so the right painting needs to look good from a seated position and under warm lamplight. This collection brings together the shapes that work best in a dining room: wide landscape paintings for above a long table or sideboard, large square canvases for a round table or a chimney breast, and two- and three-piece sets that fill a longer wall with rhythm. Our best sellers come first. Every piece is printed on canvas and hand-finished by our artists, so the raised texture catches candlelight and creates soft shadows across the surface.
Which shape suits your dining room?
Landscape paintings are the classic choice above a rectangular table or a sideboard. Long formats such as 70 × 140 cm or 80 × 160 cm follow the line of the table.
Square paintings balance a round or square dining table and look striking on a chimney breast or in an alcove. Sizes from 90 × 90 cm upwards make a confident statement.
Two- and three-piece sets suit long walls and open-plan kitchen-diners, where one painting can look lost. On sets, the listed size is for each piece.
What size wall art for a dining room?
As a rule of thumb, choose art that is about two-thirds the width of the sideboard or table beneath it. Over a standard six-seater table, a painting of 100–150 cm wide usually looks balanced. Because people look at dining room art while seated, hang it slightly lower than in a living room: leave 15–25 cm above a sideboard, and keep the centre of the painting close to seated eye level. Our UK wall art size guide and guide to hanging wall art explain it step by step.
Colours that work at the dinner table
Warm golds, terracotta and burgundy feel inviting in the evening and pair beautifully with wooden tables.
Soft blues, greens and neutrals keep a bright, modern dining room calm and airy.
Bold abstracts and florals become a talking point, especially in a white or grey room.

How high should I hang a painting in a dining room?
Slightly lower than in a living room, because it is mostly seen while seated. Leave 15–25 cm above a sideboard and keep the centre of the painting close to seated eye level.
Should dining room art be landscape or square?
Landscape paintings follow the line of a rectangular table or sideboard, while large square canvases balance a round table, a chimney breast or an alcove. For long walls and open-plan kitchen-diners, a two- or three-piece set fills the space best.
