1. Wooden Slats
Wooden slats bring a natural, organic texture to any room. If you’re looking for a subtle accent wall, this may be your option.
You can also position the wooden slats in many ways. You can create a half wall (as seen in the photo above), cover the whole wall, lay out a narrow row of slats, or create any other configuration you desire.
Whether you keep the wood in its natural color, paint, or stain it, it’s sure to add the right touch of intrigue to your dining room.
2. Wall Of Windows
Natural light is second to none. It immediately fills the room with warmth and a cozy ambiance, which everyone is sure to love. So, if your dining room has a large wall of windows, use them as an accent wall.
Leave the windows bare, or choose stylish curtain panels and rods to enhance them. With various styles available, you’ll find the perfect set to match your aesthetic.

3. The Depth Of Navy Blue
Pick out a bold color that stands out against the other wall colors in the room. In this case, a gorgeous shade of navy blue covers one of the walls.
The color stands out beautifully against the other stark white walls and the captivating crown molding.
Consider texturizing the wall to add even more interest. The texture is a sure way to add more depth to the room.
4. Floating Shelves With Personal Touches
Floating shelves are a relatively quick and easy way to add an accent wall to your dining room. Install a couple of short ones or a few that take up the room’s width.
They provide a blank canvas for vases, photos, artwork, and personal touches. Plus, you can easily update the decor seasonally. Use the extra space for dining essentials like dishes and serving ware.
5. Natural Stone
The natural stone in this room blends seamlessly with its warm, earthy tones of tan, rust, and beige, adding valuable texture. Without it, the design could fall flat.
This example shows that an accent wall doesn’t need to span the entire room. A well-executed small accent, like this stone half-wall, can make a room look extraordinary.
6. Captivating Chair Rail Molding
Chair rail moldings are back on the rise in popularity. Once part of the “shaker” style, this molding can fit any design aesthetic, from modern to boho/eclectic.
For a modern twist, use a bright, unexpected color like tropical green with black trim to separate the green and white. If bold colors aren’t your style, opt for a neutral hue for your chair rail molding accent wall.
7. Industrial Brick Accent
The industrial aesthetic is unforgettable, featuring exposed brick and concrete, metal surfaces, and repurposed items.
To extend this style to your dining room, create a standout accent wall with exposed brick and a cement quarter wall.
These elements provide the perfect backdrop for a natural wood dining table, matching chairs in various colors, and other organic pieces. The combination enriches the room’s overall feel.
