Creative wall decor ideas that you will absolutely love

A large, blank wall is pretty much like a blank canvas waiting to be filled up with your creativity. Done right, it can rev up the room like little else. Here are some easy to implement wall decor ideas that will have you in awe.

 

There isn’t a better way to add character to the room than to do up a wall in an iconic wallpaper. Maps as wallpaper could tell a tale of your many travels. An oversized photograph also does the job as well. Not just the wall but also your sentiments could benefit from having some great family pictures that you cannot get enough of. If your design sensibility borders on the subtle, you could consider having a colour blocked pattern on the wall which speaks volumes about your tastes.  A bold patterned wall, done up in those black and white stripes for instance, is another sure head turner. If you would like to add a touch of glamour to your room, there is nothing quite like a mirrored wall. That it also gives it an illusion of space, is an added perk. If you would like to a add a bit of quirk to your wall decor, chalkboards are just perfect. Not only do they add to the design element, they can be extremely functional too. Use them to leave an inspiring message or even the menu of the day and spread smiles.

Having a large wall covered with a bookshelf is the perfect meeting of form and function. Speaking of wall shelves designs, floating shelves work well to showcase those precious collections. Pep up a lonely corner by stacking up triangular shelving that can showcase your favourite articles. If you want to store some bulky articles, you could consider adding some chunky shelves. Adding shelves of different sizes and stacking them with memorabilia is the perfect way of creating a fun display.

 

Home decor isn’t complete without great lighting. A mix of ambient, accent and task lighting works well. Make a statement with a double chandelier. Alternately go in for coloured light bulbs, India. You are likely to find a modern study lamp online with clean lines that will appeal to your modern sensibilities. Remember to have fun with the colour of the lampshade. A lampshade in a playful colour will add to the overall appeal of the room. Unique fixtures that draw attention to a particular, artwork or furnishing draw attention to the best parts of the room. Chandeliers are perfect to add a touch of glamour. Remember to not have them as the sole source of light, though. A great source of light as well as an aesthetically pleasing option is the pendant lighting.  It just takes some thought out lighting options to have your personality shine through your home. Without the right lighting all other well thought out elements of your room, whether it is the plush seating or the rich upholstery tends not to create the desired impact.
