Choosing the paint colors for any room in your home can be frustrating. But the dining room paint choices are often the most difficult to make. One of our favorite quick dining room accessories ideas is creating an accent wall. Simply use paint or wallpaper to turn one wall into a bold statement. The color used for this wall can also be used in small amounts in other areas of the room. This will help to tie the design together. Don’t be afraid to play with prints or a bold color on your accent wall. Keep in mind that this can be the perfect way to highlight a buffet, your favorite lamp or a great piece of wall art.

One of the primary features of any room is the lighting. Light fixtures should ideally make their own statement, while also providing a range of lighting options. Installing a light fixture directly above the dining table is a great way to highlight the table. Add one or two small lamps to the buffet or a couple wall sconces around the room to tie the lighting together.
From the windows to the seat cushions, textiles are the perfect way to soften and add warmth to the dining room. When choosing the window coverings, opt for something that can serve double duty by framing the window and adding style. If your accent wall is wallpapered, consider pulling one of the least-used colors in the wallpaper and use it for the drapes or seat cushions on the chairs. A quick way to accentuate the table is to add colorful fabric with a table runner, placemats or cloth napkins.
Speaking of textiles, a classic way to accessorize a dining room is to add an area rug under the table. For a global-inspired look, consider a colorful, patterned rug. For a more traditional style, opt for neutral colors and classic designs.
Don’t forget the finishing touches with your dining room accessories ideas! There are hundreds of options when it comes to accessories for your dining room. Centerpieces, wall art and knick knacks and more. When it comes to accessorizing, this is the perfect opportunity to personalize the dining room.
Consider creating a photo gallery on one wall or simply choose one piece of wall art and make it the centerpiece of your accent wall. Sometimes even the simplest objects can completely transform an entire space. For example, a small vase in the center of the table may look plain, but the vase can be used to hold a bouquet of hand-picked flowers. This can instantly brighten the entire room. The goal is to make this room a space that reflects your personality as well as a warm, comfortable place to share meals.
