Which panoramic to choose according to your decorative style?

Depending on the decorative style you want to give to your interior, you need to choose a suitable dining room wallpaper. Indeed, for an ethnic or jungle style, opt for a panoramic with savannah motifs arranged on the largest wall of your dining room. Savannah-style wallpaper sets the tone for the room and is therefore sufficient on its own. You can find this style of wall covering at Nuances Unikalo for example.

Then, for a more industrial or contemporary style, opt for a Grunge wall style panoramic dining room wallpaper . This style of wallpaper imitates walls that have been used and that can be a little damaged. Depending on the color you choose, the decor style will be different. For example, for a very contemporary style, opt for a dark colored grunge wall wallpaper combined with golden undertones.

How to highlight a panoramic dining room wallpaper?

Panoramic wallpaper is often decorated with a lot of patterns or colors. Therefore, it is not necessary to overload the decoration of your dining room with this type of wallpaper. Indeed, adding a lot of decoration would encroach on the patterns of the panoramic wallpaper and thus give a messy effect to the room.

In addition, the ideal location for panoramic wallpaper is the longest wall in your room . You will find a wide choice of panoramic wallpapers at Nuances Unikalo . Adding a pan over a large area like this makes it easy to mark the style of the room and brings character to it . Add to this a nice sideboard arranged in front as well as tables and chairs and the decor is perfect!

Choose the layout of your dining room wallpaper

A wallpaper placed over the entire wall

The dining room wallpaper decoration has many solutions to make your room an original work. First, you can choose to have the wallpaper all over the wall. Indeed, this technique is the most classic and adapts to all wallpapers, whether panoramic or not.

Wallpaper is often associated with ethnic or jungle decorative styles. However, it can be adapted in many styles such as contemporary for example with a large section of colored wall with geometric shapes.

A wallpaper arranged halfway up

For a more atypical decoration, opt for wallpaper arranged halfway up. Indeed, this method is very often associated with bases and therefore allows to dress the wall completely.

For example, for a vintage decoration, opt for pine green basements with a light-colored dining room wallpaper with colorful or floral patterns . This allows you to add character to your room.

The advantage of arranging the wallpaper like this in the dining room is that it creates real symmetry. The wallpaper / base match will reflect the symmetry above / below the table. You can find many types of wallpaper suitable for this style of decoration in stores like Nuances Unikalo .

With this type of decoration, you will have leftover wallpaper. Our decorators share with you their ideas for reusing scraps of wallpaper and turning them into pretty decorative objects !

The choice of colors for a pretty dining room wallpaper decoration

Monochrome colors

To sublimate your dining room, be sure to choose a wallpaper in accordance with the decorative style you want to give to your room. To keep a certain harmony, it is important not to overload the space . This is why, if you want to add many patterns to your dining room, opt for a sober wallpaper that will structure your dining space.

You can also choose a wallpaper in a neutral color such as black or white with more pronounced patterns for a modern decor. For example, opt for wallpaper on a white background with contrasting light color patterns for a relatively soft and calming atmosphere in the dining room. The PLUME wallpaper by Isidore Leroy that you can find at Nuances Unikalo offers you a soft dining room decoration and allows you to add more colorful decor around.

Flashy colors

Conversely, if you want a more ethnic decor for example, opt for a wallpaper with many colors but few patterns . The goal here is not to combine too many colors with too many patterns.

We often find colorful wallpapers with embossed or gilded patterns or with atypical materials and textures that could very well go into your ethnic decor. For example, for your ethnic decor, opt for a pretty terracotta wallpaper with graphic effects in similar tones .

A dining room wallpaper with character

Be careful not to overcrowd the space

If you want to add character to your wallpaper, be careful not to overcrowd the space. Indeed, a wallpaper adorned with many decorative objects, too many patterns such as roses or flowers in general or geometric design can neglect your dining room decor.

Therefore, opt instead for light wood furniture associated with a ground without a pattern to maintain a certain harmony . Prefer uncluttered furniture with a relatively minimalist layout.

The ideal layout for the dining room wallpaper decor

Depending on the configuration of your room, there are different types of layout. First, the first is to position the wallpaper on the longest wall in your dining room and arrange the table lengthwise there as well . This arrangement helps create a feeling of grandeur in your dining room.

Conversely, to bring depth to your decoration, place the wallpaper on the wall at the back of your room, which is often the smallest wall. Arrange the table perpendicular to this wall for a feeling of depth guaranteed in your dining room!

For even more originality, you can combine a plain wallpaper with a small part of patterned wallpaper. Discover in pictures how to have this style of wallpaper!
