Dining Room Decor: City Map Poster
The dining room is a place for sharing. A city map poster on the wall tells your travel stories at the table, opens conversations, and transforms every meal into an invitation to travel.

Place the poster on the main dining room wall, visible from all seats at the table
A 50x70 cm or 70x100 cm format is essential to visually balance the presence of the table
Warm-toned styles (Terracotta, Autumn) stimulate appetite and create a convivial atmosphere
Choose the map of a gastronomic city (Lyon, Bologna, Tokyo) for an epicurean nod
Recommended sizes

Complete decoration guide
The dining room is a space of conviviality where wall decoration contributes to the meal's ambiance. A city map poster should be visible from all seats at the table, which means placing it on the main wall, usually the one facing the room's entrance. The poster center should be at about 145 cm from the floor, standing eye level — diners see it perfectly when looking up from their plate. The format should match the table size: for a 4-person table (120 cm), a 50x70 cm is sufficient; for a 6-8 person table (180-200 cm), a 70x100 cm is ideal. Warm tones are particularly suited for the dining room: Terracotta evokes Italian trattorias, Autumn evokes Parisian bistros, Forest evokes the English countryside. These colors stimulate appetite and create a warm atmosphere. Complete with matching table elements: coordinated linen napkins, pillar candles, or a natural table runner. The lighting above the table (pendant or chandelier) should be dimmable to transition from a bright dinner to a subdued atmosphere. Accent lighting directed at the poster adds depth to the room.
The ideal ambiance
Terracotta and Autumn warm the dining room with a natural, gourmet palette. The map of your vacation city or favorite restaurant becomes a conversation starter at every dinner — the art of turning a wall into a travel story.

Frequently asked questions
How to choose the poster size for my dining room?+
The proportionality rule is simple: the poster should occupy about 60-75% of the width of the furniture below (sideboard, console) or 50-60% of the table width if placed above. For a table of 4 (120 cm), a 50x70 cm is balanced. For 6+ guests (180 cm+), a 70x100 cm is essential. If the wall is clear of furniture, center the poster on the wall and choose the largest format suited to the width.
Which poster styles are suitable for a dining room?+
Warm, natural-toned styles are best suited: Terracotta for a Mediterranean vibe, Autumn for a country chic feel, Forest for a natural green touch, and Warm Beige for an elegant neutral backdrop. These palettes stimulate appetite and create a convivial atmosphere. Avoid overly cool styles (Ocean, Blueprint) or overly aggressive ones (Neon Cyberpunk) that may suppress appetite.
Can I create a gallery wall in a dining room?+
Absolutely. A gallery wall with 3 to 5 posters of different cities creates a spectacular effect in a dining room. Choose a common theme (your vacation cities, gastronomic capitals, or family cities) and a single style for coherence. Space the frames 5-8 cm apart and align them on an imaginary horizontal line at 145 cm from the floor.
