How to Decorate a Wall
If you thought that painting the walls of your room in a paint color of your choice is the only option for wall decoration you have, think again! Walls are not something that provide a background to your interiors. In fact, they can be made as much a part of interior decorating as perhaps upholstery or furniture! Scroll down for some tips on decorating a wall in the most creative and imaginative ways...
Paint
To add character to the walls, you can create a number of wall painting designs on it. If you are someone who has never painted before, a good idea is to make use of stencils. You can actually create some amazing looking floral designs or geometric designs on the wall in the paint color of your choice using stencils! For those of you who are good at a painting job, one of the wall decor ideas is to paint a broad stripe in the same color but with a glossy finish, on the wall. The contrast of matte and gloss finish paints will have a very beautiful effect on the walls.
Wall Hangings
One of the popular ways to decorate a wall is by putting up wall hangings. Choose one which complements the interiors of the room. If you search carefully, you will be amazed at the variety in wall hangings available. You will find them in all sorts of shapes - square, rectangle, kite, round, triangle, heart etc. The designs and patterns are endless too. Psychedelic art, embroidery, patch work, pictures of birds and animals, scenery, wall hangings made of shells - you can choose anything that inspires you!
Framed Photographs
Decorating the wall with framed pictures of the family lends a kind of warmth to the room interiors. Have a number of pictures framed in small-sized frames in two colors i.e. black and white. Then alternately place pictures with black color frame, followed by white color frame and then again black color frame and so on. This will create a kind of "chess" effect on the walls which looks very classic!
Wall Lettering
One of the creative wall decorating ideas is to use wall lettering. Right from something romantic to something motivational to plain welcome messages to the names of the family members, you can get anything lettered using this wall art method.
Show Pieces
To decorate a wall unit, a unique idea is to decide on a theme for it and then place a number of show pieces on it that define it! For instance, if nature inspires you, you can have multicolored flower vases, scenery with natural surroundings, animal figures, etc, placed on the unit. You can even have all items made of glass in a single wall unit. One thing that you should always take care of is that the color at its background should contrast with the paint color on the rest of the wall. This way, whatever you place on the wall unit will be more visible.
Mirrors, Fabrics, China, Embroidered Clothes, Musical Instruments
Decorating a wall using common things such as these has its own beauty. They add a personal flavor to the walls which none of the other ideas can match. So, if you play music, hang a musical instrument. If you have an attractive rug or a piece of clothing which you got while traveling, put it up on the walls. The wall exhibiting your personal signature style will simply look amazing!
As you can see, decorating a wall is not only easy, but it can also lend a certain charm and uniqueness to your home decor. Now that you have got wind of so many interesting ideas, make use of them, be a bit innovative yourself and lend the walls of your house a certain personality!
