Have you found yourself sitting staring at a blank wall space, thinking that you could really do with refreshing your wall decor and making the room more interesting and inviting? Then you are ready to learn how to decorate walls!<\/p>\n

There are so many options for decorating walls, and the joyous thing about tackling your wall decor rather than an entire room is that it is a cost-effective and undaunting way of bringing interest to your room.<\/p>\n

Tempting as it might be to just throw everything at the blank space, various considerations, such as mirrors, tiles, or paints, will help you create the ideal solution<\/strong> for your room. A blank canvas of a wall can be the perfect opportunity to express something about yourself, who you are and what your interests are, so it is worth spending a little time getting it right!<\/p>\n

Below, we have laid out steps to follow that will help you create the perfect space for you to relax, entertain or live your family life.<\/p>\n

What Is the Problem That You Are Trying to Resolve?<\/h2>\n

There are many reasons to want to decorate your walls<\/a>, and it is important to explore these before getting started so you know that the final result meets those goals.<\/p>\n

You may have moved on from a minimalist style, where you did like clean, simple decoration, but now you fancy bringing colour or features onto the blank walls. Or perhaps you have a room with little natural light<\/strong>, and you want to provide better lighting and warmth in the room. Maybe you have recently found an artist you like, and you would like to transform your bare walls into a gallery wall instead.<\/p>\n

These are all reasons to take the step to create visual interest<\/strong> in what were stark walls, so start by capturing your main issues and what your thoughts are for trying to resolve them. There are many ways to decorate blank walls to help solve any issues you have.<\/p>\n

Additionally, giving thought to the type of room you are tackling is also an important step<\/strong>. For example, a child’s bedroom is very different from a dining room or master bedroom, where you might have a large wall that needs to be decorated, and there are practicalities to be considered for each.<\/p>\n

If you have children, having a large mirror or many pictures hanging at a height where they can be knocked is maybe not the best design, and something like a wall mural or feature wallpaper might be a better option. Placing a mirror on a wall where you will constantly catch your reflection while eating or lounging may not offer the most relaxing experience.<\/p>\n

So it is important to think out the space, who and how you use it and then work out the best interior design options for that room.<\/p>\n

Wall Decor Ideas: Gather Style Inspiration<\/h2>\n

\"classic<\/p>\n

Once you have done some of your initial planning and have a rough idea of what you are trying to achieve with the room, it is time to start getting some great ideas<\/strong> pulled together. There are many options for drawing inspiration, from Instagram and Pinterest to design blogs from companies specialising in design.<\/p>\n

Browse through these, capturing any styles and ideas<\/strong> for wall decor that you like. Taking your time through this process and seeing if you feel the same about certain ideas over a few days is important to test whether you were in a certain mood when you first saw the idea and whether you still feel the same when you come back to it. Committing a big wall space to a strong design or spending money on artwork requires a little time and space to check that they work for you.<\/p>\n

Narrow down the ideas or pieces you like and try to settle on a colour scheme if you are bringing colour into the room. Take these back to your original thoughts for the room, see if they fit well, and answer the issues or design ideas you had.<\/p>\n

There are many different options available for transforming a room, so below are a few wall decor ideas<\/strong> to give you a starting point.<\/p>\n

Large Art<\/h3>\n

A single large-scale art piece is a great way to make a statement and totally transform a room while only impacting one wall. You can choose a colour to decorate the wall behind the oversized painting to bring contrast and really make it stand out, or leave your wall neutral and let the artwork do the talking!<\/p>\n

Art pieces are a fantastic talking point and a great way to bring character and style<\/strong> to a room, and although it can be expensive to buy originals if you are on a tight budget, a print in a nice framework is just as well.<\/p>\n

Mirrors<\/h3>\n

Mirrors are a clever way of bringing more light into a room and making a smaller room appear bigger by reflecting the space. They are also flexible as a design option and give you plenty of alternatives for layout<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You could select one large round mirror or have a row of three hanging evenly spaced, or a large scale floor mirror that rests against the wall.<\/p>\n

If you place the mirror opposite a window, it will pick up the natural light and bounce it back into the room, making smaller spaces feel lighter and airier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
