Five Wall Decoration Ideas That Will Add Personality To Your Home
If you’re looking for ways to add personality to your home, try these ten wall decoration ideas. From chalkboard paint to family photos, everything is better when it’s on the walls.
There are so many ways you can decorate your house to make it feel like a home rather than just four walls with furniture inside. If you’re looking for some inspiration on doing this, here are five ideas for wall decoration that will add personality to your home.
Importance of Wall Art
Today, wall art is one of the most important elements that define a room. Without wall art, the wall would essentially be void of any decoration.
The same way wallpaper can make or break a wall design, and wall art has to complement it well for both to come out looking good together.
Wall art is one of the best ways to add life and character to a wall that would otherwise remain plain and boring. It also serves as an anchor or focal point to create visual interest in a space without distracting from any other wall already decorated with wallpaper.
The wall behind it should be either left plain or designed very simply so that the wall art alone pops out and immediately captures attention.
On the other hand, wallpapers work well only when contrasted by wall art such as paintings or photographs (or even mirrors!), which can be hung over them.
Let’s shed some light on the wall decoration ideas that inspire!
1. Hang Clocks on the Wall
A gallery wall of vintage clocks arranged thoughtfully is sure to add sophistication and elegance to any interior setting.
If you are an art enthusiast, you will love it no matter how big or small your apartment is because they add aesthetic value; Your friends will notice and inquire about it too! Like all works of art, these unique items need the careful placement to get the best effect.
Set them at different heights on bare walls to make a style statement around the house! Different styles and (hundreds of) colors will make your apartment look like a museum! Choose from classic styles such as german, maritime, roman, and minimalist.
Go with lighter shades for bright and cheerful rooms. Darker clocks seem to work well in classy and sophisticated surroundings. Choose black and gold if you want them to grab everyone’s attention.
2. Mount a Decoration Piece Showcase
Are you in need of a little something extra for your blank wall? Look no further than the decorative piece showcase. It’s not exactly big on storage but is an excellent way to display items of different sizes and textures.
You can easily purchase floating shelves in home improvement centers, but if you love the idea of a showcase but would prefer it to be more personal, try mounting one yourself. It’s not very difficult and is also quite cost-effective.
A piece of styrofoam insulation board is easy to find from any home improvement center, and all it needs is a little paint for some added color. You can even have some fun with this project by painting words or illustrations on your shelves.
3. Plant Large Trees with the Wall
Large trees are certainly the showstoppers in garden set-ups. They can make or break a space, so it is usually advisable to plant them further away from the property. But what do you do when you want one close? The answer is brilliant: Plant them on the wall!
Tropical stunners such as Magnolias and Bird of Paradise will look great climbing up your walls, and their fragrant blooms even better so. Rubber Trees work perfectly well in indoor setups with their plush leaves, although we recommend keeping them slightly low for easy maintenance.
4. Hang Rugs that suit Your Walls
Rugs are not just flooring; they are pieces of art that can be hung on walls. If the room has an existing decorative theme, incorporate it into your choice of wall rug.
For example, if you have a nautical-themed living room, consider hanging a boat-rope ruffle or trapezoidal basketweave tapestry with matching pillows and vases on pedestals for extra detail!
You can also hang holiday-themed rugs like Santa Claus knotted cotton carpets or snowflake-shaped hooked crochet mats during the winter months. Next time you’re thinking about buying new throws, don’t settle floor coverings; think outside.
5. Draw an Art Work on the Walls
Create a look of depth in your room with a large piece of art. Paint or draw directly on the wall, so it looks as if the picture is hung high from the ceiling.
Once you have a suitable piece, lean it against a side wall and bring in a chair. If necessary, adjust the height by flipping the seat cushion to create an ottoman or stool for more height. Add pendant lamps to define the space further.
This is a great way to elevate the look of your interior decor. Choose an oversized piece or create one yourself by painting directly on the wall.
If you find something suitable at the thrift store, skip the gold gilding and embellishments common with ornate pieces of art, they’ll only make the scene feel cluttered.
Summing Up
Home decorating is a big and bold process. You should not be afraid to go with different styles depending on your personal style, the look you want for your home, or how much time you have in order to make it work!
Remember that any place where there’s blank space can become an opportunity. If you don’t like bare walls, add some art or even use wallpaper if desired.
With all of these options available at your fingertips, we hope this blog post has inspired you to start thinking about ways to customize your own wall design!
