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.

Natural elements adding pizzazz to your decor



Including natural elements in home décor has become the trending topic of the day. They add natural charm to a place and are one of the most effective ways of adding colour and freshness to a space, whether indoor or outdoor. Not everyone is blessed with a green thumb or has the time to clean the dirt associated with potted plants, which is why artificial plant décor is gaining so much favour. They lend the space the same earthy appeal without any of the maintenance hassles associated with natural plants. Also they are highly cost effective and last a long time making the investment well worth it.



A great design idea for decorating a living room is to combine natural artificial plants with natural flowers. Brighten up a dark area with corner flower vase arrangement; roses, orchids and sunflower are the most commonly used flowers. They add bright pops of colour while giving the space a natural earthy appeal.  Your reading nook can particularly benefit from the natural texture and good energy of plants.. Artificial palm trees are also frequently used for living room decor, as they add to the natural look and feel. You can achieve a beautiful mix of both natural and artificial by combining a beautiful centre table arrangement of natural flowers with artificial potted plants. 
Potted plants are also the perfect way to decorate a small balcony. If you are worried about using up floor space, consider hanging planter boxes for balconies, a beautifully natural way to cover up the railings. Not only do they provide both shade and privacy to the balcony, they also add colour and freshness to the space.

An important part of outdoor décor is outdoor garden furniture. A small balcony can also be made to look beautiful and elegant by adding a few well thought pieces of outdoor furniture. You can also give it a bistro feel by simply adding outdoor chairs in bright colours and pairing it off with a small round coffee table. Made of rattan, artificial wicker or even metal, outdoor furniture adds an unmistakable touch of class. Folding tables and chairs offer the extra convenience of moving the seating around as required. Ottomans and chaise lounges are also great options for outdoor furniture if you are looking for a more eclectic kind of seating arrangement. Simple chairs and tables can be made to look great when accessorized with bright patterned cushions, throws, table runners and rugs, especially when it comes to outdoor décor. You could also add to the eclectic décor by using unusual containers for plants such as tin cans, buckets, old tires and teakettles. You could even consider using an old bicycle decorated with flowers. Now this one will have al your guests in awe.

Whether you have been blessed with a small patio or a large garden, outdoor furniture and plants make for one great combination for a stunning décor. You may as well get used to the many compliments that are sure to come your way.
