Whether your dining area is formal or open to your great room, most have some kind of focal wall. A common way to decorating this wall is to paint it in an accent color, add a buffet table and hang a few pictures. This really is a tried-and-true method to complete a dining area, but if you want to go beyond only paint and wainscoting, consider the next smart ideas.

Chalkboard paint encircles this dining area, creating a blank canvas that can be changed periodically. Raised wainscoting adds height to the distance.

Framed wallpaper is a fantastic and easy alternative to wall mounted artwork or wallpapering the whole wall. The frame sizes can be customized as you or your designer sees fit. The pattern is repeated in the window treatment.
FOCAL POINT STYLING
A metallic tower of candles complements the contemporary, sparkly chandelier and branchlike candle holders on the table.
The wall behind the dining table has a monochromatic scheme of dishes. There is a subtle shade of white and off-white for more layering and measurement.

Built-in bookshelves offer double duty and fill in the gap between the large windows in this dining area. Crown molding around the ceiling adds more character to the space.
When you have an open-concept dining area, setting prepared to assemble bookcases help define the area and add a focus. The Arco floor lamp is a fantastic alternate to chandeliers whenever there aren’t any ceiling-mount sockets available.
