Stone wall design ideas for your dining room: bring in the textured authenticity

An accent wall is always welcome in the interior, particularly if designed considering the latest trends. According to the current tendencies, bringing as much outdoors indoors and connecting with nature are the leading aspects to consider within a contemporary interior. In the era when texture and nature-inspired colors are simply a must in interior design, nothing will meet all these standards better than an accent stone wall. 

Today, we speak about the dining area in particular. Depending on the style, preferences, and overall design, the accent wall should integrate into the interior as it has always been part of it. This is why we came up with an array of gorgeous suggestions on how to make the most of a stone wall in the dining space. We are simply in love with these ideas and are sure you will feel the same. Enjoy the splash of inspiration!

Whitewashed 

Again, pick any type of stone you want and fully paint it in white for a mix of new and old, modern and traditional, soft and raw. As an alternative, you can consider a single paint cover, which will let the natural texture reveal itself slightly for a sophisticated look. On such a background, every piece of furniture will acquire an accent look, offering a contrasting modern vibe. 

Set a contrast

Make sure the stone texture and color contrast the overall interior or at least the backdrop color to set an authentic accent for the style. It can either harmonize with the furniture or stand out with its uniqueness in a rather minimalist interior. One should note that the dining table chairs should not fade into the background of the accent wall. 

Fireplace accent wall

One solution to manage two design tasks – consider covering the area surrounding the fireplace, if there is one, with stone and add, at the same time, an accent wall to your interior. Such an approach will double the comfort and set a pleasant mood in the dining area. An impressive effect has the black stone accent wall of this kind, elevating the interior as a whole. 

Brighten it up

It would be a shame to own a beautiful stone wall in the dining space and risk displaying its accent effect because of poor light, particularly during the night. For functional and stylish purposes, enrich this space with light sources, such as wall sconces directly on the stone wall or other sources above or around this area to reveal the texture and let it penetrate the space.

Rustic or Modern?

Opt for a full Rustic interior with the stone wall as the defining element of this style, revealing its natural texture to the fullest, accompanied by untreated wood texture for the furniture and other elements. Additionally, enrich the interior with a few modern units, such as industrial lighting sources, upholstered chairs, or contemporary pieces of decor to adapt the style to modern approaches, where the stone wall serves as a transition from old to new.

A contemporary sense of naturalness

A stone wall looks no less impressive in a fully modern interior with a minimalist layout, a simple approach to decor, and a rather neutral perspective on colors. The same accent wall should be kept within a monochromatic palette or slightly contrasting for a smooth transition. At the same time, the pieces of furniture should be kept as simple and natural as possible to make the texture defining for the dining area.

Stone texture alternative

Instead of stone, you can opt for the more affordable brick texture. We do not speak about the bold red brick, but particularly the one that perfectly replicates the stone surface. You can either leave it as it is or cover it with white paint. Such an approach to the accent wall will integrate efficiently into modern dining areas, bringing the desired textured effect.
