Decorating Walls at Home

November 2, 2017

Decorating your home is a fun and yet, continuous process. Between painting, hanging frames and utilizing home accessories, it's important to make sure that no area is forgotten when it comes to the look of your space.

Everyone has that one wall in their home that they just don't know what to do with. Maybe it's partially covered or placed in a strange part of the room. Some homeowners don't see large, blank walls as a clean slate to work with but rather something intimidating. The good news is that there are plenty of ideas to match your style and create a unique look for your room.

For an easy fix to a large wall, consider creating a striped accent wall. This is a great DIY project that can transform the look of your room in just a weekend. You can choose colors that match your room's décor and go either horizontally or vertically.

Do you have a lot of artwork or photos you're not sure what to do with? Turn them into the perfect decorative element by hanging them as a gallery wall. There are so many options when it comes to styling your gallery. You can choose photos and frames that match, for a sleek and modern look. Or, mix it up to create a chic look. Remember to always plan out your wall before beginning to hang any frames, so you don't make any permanent errors on the actual wall.

If you have a blank wall, it's likely windowless. If you long for a bit lighter in your room, turn your windowless wall into one full of mirrors. One option is to cover the entire wall with flat mirrors or section them off to give the appearance of a window. You could also use the gallery wall technique to hang a variety of different mirrors to change up the look. Any option you choose will not only add to the décor of the room, but also add additional light.

There are so many unique shelving options today that they can be their own wall art. Triangle shelves are a unique way to decorate your wall, and for an extra touch, you can back them with fabric to add a pop of color. Floating shelves gives you the look without all the additional bulky hardware and can be arranged in whatever way meets your needs. Move them one after another to create a ladder effect, or square them off to create unique cubby shelves.

Do you collect something unique? Hanging it from your unused blank wall could be a great way to show it off!
