Looking for breakfast nook wall decor that gives your little corner some personality? Framed flowers, patterned plates and even a giant teacup clock give you plenty to choose from.
You can fill the wall above your bench or keep things simple with one pretty piece.
I especially love the ideas that carry around a corner. Below, you’ll find full dining nooks plus a few wall displays you can borrow for your own space.
Breakfast Nook Wall Ideas Worth Saving
art around the corner
We’re starting off strong with this pretty gallery wall. I love how the different-sized frames continue around the corner above the bench.
The black chairs pick up the dark outlines in the artwork.
Try mixing one large print with smaller pictures rather than making every frame the same size.
a wall full of plates
How cute is this plate wall? The blue, green and red patterns look so lovely above the dark corner seat. There are oval platters mixed in with the round plates too.

If you want to follow this look, let the arrangement spread wider than the bench instead of keeping it in a narrow column.
overlapping circles
Don’t want to add prints or paintings? No problem!
This wall decoration mixes round mirrors with open black rings. I love how the circles overlap above the simple rectangular table.
three rows of corner shelves
If you are looking for somewhere to display more than pictures, this one is for you. Three rows of shelves wrap around the corner above the blue seating.
Books, little bowls and framed art share the space.

Leave a few gaps between your displays so you can still see the wall behind them.
a botanical picture grid
I am obsessed with this botanical arrangement. The flowers, leaves and butterflies look so pretty in matching black frames.
This display hangs above a pink sofa rather than a breakfast bench, but you can borrow the grid for your own nook. Keep the spacing even to follow the same look.
gold frames and little flowers
This gallery wall may just be one of my favorites here. I love the oval landscape tucked between the rectangular pictures.
The gold-colored frames look lovely above the brown, striped and floral pillows.
Mix a small photograph into your botanical prints if you want that same collected feel.
oversized leafy mural
The leaf lovers are going to love this! Instead of hanging lots of little pictures, this dining corner has large fronds stretching across the wall in muted green and gray.
I’d keep the tabletop simple like this one. The white handled vase is enough alongside all those leaves.
one green abstract print
Don’t want to go all out and want something super simple? This single abstract print is for you.
The green, cream and dark shapes bring color to the white wall without adding a whole gallery.
The leafy plant beside the table is such a pretty match for the artwork.
round baskets on blue
How pretty are these round basket shapes against the dark blue wall? I love the mix of tight spirals and open patterns.
The largest pieces sit at opposite ends of the arrangement.

Try gathering different sizes rather than choosing a completely matching set.
coffee and croissant prints
Okay, that croissant print is adorable. The pink stripes and coffee illustration make such a cute pair above this breakfast counter.
For your nook, try hanging a similar pair side by side. Pick up the pink in a mug or small plate like the ones shown here.
landscapes above the paneling
I love this little group of landscapes above the gray paneling. The wide center picture sits between a tall frame and two smaller ones, with a narrow cup display underneath.
The checked bench cushions are worth borrowing too if you want a little pattern below the pictures.
a green plate display
This is another gorgeous way to decorate with plates. Instead of scattering them across the wall, this display lines them up in four neat rows against a pale green backing.
The gold-colored rails and light above are my favorite details. Blue-and-white plates look so pretty mixed with the green ones.
a candle-style wall sconce
Here’s another view of the gold-framed nook, with a better look at the candle-style wall sconce. I love how it sits beside the pictures rather than directly above them.
If you’re borrowing this arrangement, leave some space for a wall light on one side. You don’t have to fill every gap with another frame.
a chalkboard planning wall
Want your wall to do a little more than look pretty? This kitchen-side chalkboard has a large clock, a calendar and hooks for keys, plus room for little chalk drawings.
You could borrow the idea for a narrow wall beside your breakfast nook. Keep the planning pieces together so there’s still space to doodle.
hanging jars of greenery
How cute are these hanging plants? Three clear jars sit at different heights beneath a branch, with leafy stems trailing down the wall.
This is a lovely idea to borrow for a spot beside your nook window. Use a hanging system suited to the weight of filled jars if you try your own version.
a giant teacup clock
If you are looking for a true eye-catcher, then this one is for you. Floral cups and little teapots circle an oversized clock face made up of brown planks.
I love the decorative black hands in the middle. With a piece this big, I’d leave the surrounding wall just as simple as it is here.
landscapes and trailing leaves
This nook is so pretty. The large mountain-and-river picture sits among smaller landscapes and botanical drawings, with a trailing plant hanging beside the window.
Try olive-green pillows beneath your own picture arrangement if you like the way the greenery carries through this corner.
photos across two walls
Want to make your breakfast corner a little more personal? Borrow this photo display with matching light-brown frames and shelves that meet in the corner.
I love how the long plant stems fall between the pictures. Mix horizontal and vertical photos to follow this arrangement without needing every image to be the same shape.
a bright lemon wreath
You don’t have to save wreaths for your front door. This lemon-covered one looks so cute above the little round breakfast table.
The yellow fruit and green leaves bring plenty of color to the pale wall. Keep the bow off to one side if you want to follow this look.

orange arches and little stars
Last but definitely not least, we have this colorful painted corner. I am obsessed with the tall orange arch and smaller reddish-brown one beside it.
The little star shapes are such a fun extra touch.
Try a dark green chair with these colors, just like the one here. The cat on the table is optional, haha!
