Follow the Rule of Thirds

Beadboard and wallpaper doesn't need to be a fifty-fifty split on your wall. You can go for the rule of thirds and install beadboard or paneling on one third of your wall, while the other two-thirds are wallpaper (or reverse). This look can also make your ceilings look higher than they are.

Use Similar Colors

When combining paneling with wallpaper, consider using similar colors in both. This space, by Emily Henderson Design, does this well with its soft white paneling and off-white wallpaper. It's a good thing to do if you'd rather have your wallpaper blend in instead of stand out.

Match Your Trim

Consider Your Floral Arrangements

If your wallpaper contains a floral or greenery pattern, make sure to take it into consideration when adding a floral arrangement to your dining room. Try to match the two to create something that looks like living art. This space above is a great example of it, as the tall flowers and grasses match the wispy and windy floral patterns on the walls.

Hang It Higher

For a unique wallpaper look, try adding it to the ceiling, rather than the walls. This unusual touch adds an element of whimsy that still keeps your dining room feeling grown-up. And because it draws your eyes upward, make sure you hang a stunning light fixture to match,

Use the Kitchen

Even if your dining room shares space with your kitchen, you can still use wallpaper to decorate. Try incorporating wallpaper on a kitchen accent wall, or as an open-shelving backsplash, like what was done in the eat-in kitchen above.

Make a Scene

Most of the time, when we think of wallpaper, we think of repeating small to medium patterns. However, wallpaper can be so much more. Consider hanging wallpaper in your dining room that displays an entire scene. For a pastoral look, pick one from nature. For a vibrant look, pick one from a famous city or city street.

Make It Subtle

If you're looking for a wallpaper pattern that only gets better the longer you look at it, try hanging a paper with a subtle design that you may not catch at first glance. Bonus: this can make dull moments in dinner parties all the more entertaining.

Go Bold

Don't be afraid to have fun with shapes (or rather, lack of shapes) when picking your dining room wallpaper. Bold pattern picks, like the ones in the space above by Blakely Interior Design, can feel intimidating, but they can certainly pay off too.

Consider Continuity

If you use a patterned wallpaper (especially ones with oversized patterns), make sure you take the time to wrap it around the room so that the pattern or scene is not broken. This attention to detail can make a huge difference in your finished product.

Pair Wood and Wallpaper

Get Inspired

When trying to find a color for your dining room wallpaper, take inspiration from what you already have or what's around you. The wallpaper in the space above mimics the color of the buffet and armchair, while its nature-filled pattern is a reflection of the lush green that sits outside the window.

Go Gray

Sometimes, classics are classics for a reason. Easygoing gray wallpaper adds a little bit of pattern and vibrancy to your dining room without being distracting. Gray wallpaper is a good fit for dining rooms where there's already a clear focal point, or in spaces where you want to keep the look fairly neutral.

Add a Little Texture

Subtly-textured wallpaper is a great fit in any dining room, especially in ones where you want to add a little bit of something extra without having to go all-in on bright colors or patterns. Pair it with a few colorful touches in your dining room furniture or accessories for a complete and stylish look, like the one in the space above from Britt Design Studio.

Go Green
