Sometimes when we start a design project we have allll the details carefully laid out in our minds eye… and sometimes, we don’t have a clue where to begin. But we’ll share our go-to secret with you—in cases like these, we let the art do the talking. Some people like to design entire spaces around a rug they couldn’t live without, or a gorgeous sofa that caught their eye. But when it comes to the dining room, we find that the artwork is almost always the easiest place to start. Not to mention, the best thing about selecting your dining room wall art is the fact that the sky is the limit. Whether you go with bright and bold beach scenes, desert landscapes, or serene waters, there is almost no wrong way to interpret the dining room. So without further ado, we’re serving up three different dining room design ideas inspired by GM prints, and we can’t wait to get to it…

Inspired by… Rainbow Cowboy Hats II

First and foremost, we chose one of Gray’s newest pieces from the Marfa desert to inspire our design. We’re obsessed with the detail of the rainbow cowboy hats in this shot, yet the overall vibe is neutral enough to go any which way when incorporated into your design. Plus, this is one conversation piece that will surely keep your dinner guests talking!

Inspired by… Byron Bay Waves, Vertical

Listen up, all lovers of glam—if you’re into something serene and perfectly fitting for a feminine space, then look no further than the shores of Byron Bay. The subtle fade from aqua to peach never ceases to catch our eye and truly take us away. Its minimalist vibe translates well to any space, but here’s how we would style it in the dining room…
