Decorating the walls can open a whole world of creativity for you. You could choose to go for wallpaper of different patterns, paint on the walls, or – if you’re feeling really bold – a combination of the two! You can use art, add pictures, hang tapestries. There is literally no limit to the ways that you can decorate the walls of the home, and with the suggestions below, you can make your walls stand out no matter the room.
- Choose to buy wall art, but don’t choose them to be too huge. There is a market out there for over large artworks and ornate picture frames, but if you live in a small cottage with small walls, there’s no point in going too big. It’s nice to make a statement, but you don’t want to have those large ornate frames in a home that embraces minimalism. So, go with the versatile decor, but don’t go too huge. There’s only so much you can do without overcrowding the walls!
- Go for something colourful. You want to make the walls stand out, and whether you are stripping them back entirely or you plan to add more colour, the best way to decorate your walls is to add colour to them. Picture frames in a variety of colours can look stunning on the light walls of the home, and you can add some stunning posters and pieces of painted art with a range of colours to add character and life.
- Textures are a thing for walls. Wallpaper can come in 3D textures to give a room or corridor some oomph, or you can choose to drape rugs, curtains, or tapestries in different places. Most people wouldn’t think of using fabrics on their walls in their homes, but it’s such a good idea if you want to create a visual impact in the house. Your space needs to be carefully considered. Where you would have an empty space on the wall, you could hang sheer fabric gathered with a metal ring – how pretty!
- Use your space wisely. We said not to go too huge, but if you are fortunate enough to have high ceilings and a massive blank wall in your living room, then a large piece of artwork or a blown up canvas will be in the right place. You want to have the right-sized pieces for the right-sized space. It’s all common sense here; don’t go too huge in a small room, but don’t have a massive wall with a tiny photograph tacked to the middle.
- Have you considered decorating with plants and flowers? You don’t have to hang things on the walls to paint them; you can stand leafy green plants or vases of sunflowers in front of them and still have a fantastic impact. If you’re not particularly green-thumbed, choose fake silk flowers instead; they have the same look without any of the maintenance.
- Block colors can be beautiful, but something quirky needs to break up the vast expanses of space. Have you considered clocks and posters? A large wall clock offers something interesting to the space left open, and it’s going to make the room feel sophisticated at the same time.
- Don’t forget about lighting when you’re decorating the walls of your home. You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to lighting, from beaming up-lighters that will light the space to the ceiling, to the lights that are fixed to the walls and offer a warm look. You can choose from cool white to warm white and pick something pretty that lights up your space correctly.
- Gallery walls are really a superb option in any room of the home. Put together pictures of people and places that you love, and you’ll be able to brighten up the walls no matter what. You’re continually going to be reminded of love and adventures that you share, and you’re never going to go wrong with that look!
