How to Dress Up a Wall
Many homeowners prefer shopping for furnitures pieces for a particular room in the home than spending time choosing for the accessory to hang on the wall. Hanging a picture frame may sound elementary but can be a challenge to many of us. The reason for this is because walls are much harder to decorate due to the fact that what we hang on the wall should blend well with the overall design in the home. A common mistake is that we tend to treat walls as separate parts of the design scheme and as a result it creates a challenge when the wall does not match with existing designs of the rest of the room. Here are some ideas for accenting any wall in any room in your home:
1. Bathrooms – Coordinate ceramic or tile fixtures with the room's color scheme and design. One example is, if you choose a beach design, you can add some starfish, shells, or utilize a corner part of netting to add to the beach motif. Try to find authentic items on the beach instead of using objects made from synthetic materials. Match cupboards, countertops, mirrors and fixtures with similar design or pattern that you have on your towel bars, soap dishes, and other accessories.
2. Hallways – Hallway walls are great for adding accents to the rest of the room. Use color on the walls that connect with the overall color scheme in the house. For country style designs you can embellish using rustic barnyard or woodland prints with matching or coordinating frames. Any plants can help add a country feel to the area. Another fun feature if you have enough wall space is adding a large indoor water feature. Indoor water fountains are modern and sophisticated accessories that would create a relaxing atmosphere in the home.Water features are great accent pieces and can be use to divide large spaces into several areas.
3. Bedrooms - Fresh flowers, draperies, and family photographs are all attractive and meaningful additions to the bedroom walls. Choose designs that reflect your mood or personality – from sentimental, romantic, to even whimsical themes. You can hang a bulletin board in the kids rooms for collecting favorite trading cards, notes, friends' photos. Posters are another kids' favorite, display trophies, plaques, or awards in the bookshelf.
4. Kitchen or Dining Room – Orange or dark red are some of the colors you can use in the kitchen or dining room walls. Avoid blue – studies have shown that blue can decrease one's appetite. Images or prints of flowers or vegetables are great wall decorations. You can also use ceramic plates to hang on the wall. It is important to also try to coordinate colors that would either match or complement the colors used in the rest of the rooms. If you are using wallpaper designs, coordinate the prints with the colors used all over the home. For wall decors, you can hang assorted baskets or cookware to provide a homey touch to the kitchen or dining area.
5. Living and family rooms – Any artwork or painting are wonderful accessories to any living room wall. Family pictures and certificates are also great wall decorations. Use good lighting to highlight decorative items on the wall. Lighting effects can set the tone – from cozy, comfortable, to elegant or even romantic. Adding wall shelving or bookshelves for storing books and other collectibles are wonderful space savers.
6. Garage – Most of us would simply use the garage to stack boxes of unwanted items or store clothes we no longer use. However, the garage wall can be turn into a space for hanging tools and other items such as cleaning materials that we use regularly. Just install a pegboard or shelves to store house and automotive tools in the garage.
Fabric and vinyl are unique materials that you can use as wall coverings. Just glue them to the wall using adhesive made especially for fabric or vinyl. Select interesting textures, patterns and colors to enliven a wall that looks plain. Grass beach mats also make interesting wall coverings.
Beads are unique ways to decorate any wall. Select colored beads that have interesting shapes or patterns and glue them to the wall. You can create silhoutte of images or create interesting patterns – it all depends on your personal preference for style. Using beads to frame a wall is another great idea.
Let your creativity and imagination guide you in this project and soon you will have a wall that is interesting to look at and adds to the overall design of your home.
