Dining room wallpaper is a custom sized wall print made for the wall behind or beside a dining table. Giffywalls prints each order as a mural matched to the wall measurements entered at checkout. Australian homeowners and renters use it to add colour, pattern, or scenery to a dining space.

What Dining Room Wallpaper Suits Australian Homes?

Dining room wallpaper suits Australian homes best when the print matches the age and light of the home. Use these four steps to choose with confidence.

  1. Measure the wall you plan to cover.
  2. Pick a mood, calm or dramatic.
  3. Match the colour to the light in the room.
  4. Choose an install style that fits your lease or plans.

Heritage, Federation, and Apartment Looks

Heritage cottages in Adelaide and Federation homes in Sydney carry chinoiserie scenes and vintage florals well. Open plan builds in Brisbane suit one calm feature wall that zones the dining area. Apartments in Melbourne suit a bold wall with plain paint on the rest. Older homes often have tall ceilings, so a tall scenic mural fits them well.

Which Colours Suit a North Facing Dining Room?

In Australia, north facing rooms get the most sun, so they handle deep colour well. Navy, forest green, and charcoal feel rich in strong light. South facing rooms get softer light, so terracotta, gold, and cream keep them cosy. Dark moody prints suit evening dinners under warm bulbs. Our customers in Perth often pick deep green for a formal table.

Light Neutrals for Small Nooks

Dining room wallpaper in soft sand, white, or pale grey keeps a small nook bright. Pair light walls with timber chairs and a woven pendant light. Pick one accent colour from the print and repeat it in a vase or a runner. Gold and brass accents add warmth to a dark wall. A mirror opposite the wall bounces light around a dim room.

Does Renter Friendly Wallpaper Affect Your Bond?

Renter friendly panels hang without paste and come down when the lease ends. Check your lease and ask your property manager first, because bond rules differ between states and agents. Renters in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast often choose them for apartments. A neutral rental can still feel personal with one bold wall behind the table. Smooth, clean, painted walls give the best grip. Textured walls need extra care, so read the installation guide for your paper type before you order. Removable, temporary, and self adhesive options all suit short stays. Peel and stick panels go up fast with two people and a smoother. Keep the paint in good shape by pressing panels flat and taking them down slowly.

Owner Options for a Longer Stay

Owners who plan to stay can pick another paper type for a longer lasting finish. Compare paper types before you order.

What Size Mural Does Your Dining Wall Need?

Measure the full width and height of your wall in centimetres, then enter both numbers at checkout. Use a steel tape and measure at the widest and tallest points. Your dining room wallpaper is printed to those dimensions, so the design fits your wall. Older homes often have tall ceilings, so measure each wall instead of guessing. Note windows, doors, and power points, but measure the whole wall. Add 5 to 10 cm for trimming. Have a bay window or an odd shaped wall? Contact support for help before you order. The measure guide walks you through each step. Double check both numbers before you place the order. Write each number down as you go. A mural that covers the whole wall gives a calm, seamless look behind the table.

Summer Hosting Ideas for a Fresh Dining Wall

A new wall lands well before Christmas lunch and summer barbecues. Dining spaces that open onto a deck or alfresco area suit a bold wall. It holds its own in bright light. Moving house or starting a renovation is another good moment for a fresh wall. Choose a design that still feels right in autumn and winter. Hosts in Canberra and Hobart often want a warm, cosy wall for winter dinners. A calm coastal or botanical scene works all year. Our style guide for dining walls shares more ideas.

Casual Nook or Formal Dining Room?

A casual nook can take a lighter, playful print. A formal room suits a landscape or a chinoiserie scene. Keep the table setting simple and let the wall do the talking.
