Our spaces should be seen as our personal canvas to unleash our creativity. While some find simplicity elegant, there are ways to add a touch of elegance to areas such as walls. 

A blank wall can make a room feel incomplete and uninspired, but beautifying your walls with different decorative elements can transform your space into a vibrant and personalised haven, like your very own personal gallery every time you step in. 

Here are some decorative elements to elevate your wall decoration. 

Art 

Art pieces are excellent choices for wall decoration, and selecting the right art that suits the colours of your home is essential for creating a visually appealing space. Consider choosing pieces that resonate with your personal style, and ensure the colours in your artwork complement the room’s existing colour scheme. Also, keep in mind that art can either blend in or stand out as a focal point, so it’s really up to you to decide what you want your art design to do. 

Photos 

For a more personal touch and to display your memories, personal photos or even photo collages will be perfect to add a sentimental touch to your decor. Create a photo collage with frames of different sizes and shapes, and if you want a timeless yet elegant look, printing your photos in black and white is also an option to explore. These frames can be put up on the walls of any room in your home. 

 

Shelves 

Decorating with shelves makes your walls both functional and stylish. Floating shelves are perfect for a minimalist look and can hold small decor items like books. For a bigger space, built-in shelves can provide abundant storage and display areas, and they’re ideal for living rooms and home libraries. When styling your shelves, make sure to start with taller items at the back and short items in front.  

Mirrors 

Mirrors are underrated options that aren’t explored enough, as they can make a room feel larger and brighter. Choose frames that complement your decor style, and when placing a mirror above furniture, leave about 4-6 inches of space between the bottom of the mirror and the top of the furniture for a balanced look. 

Plants 

Another decorative idea worth trying is bringing nature’s goodness into your home by mounting small planters on your walls. There are plants that are perfect for different rooms in the house. From monsteras in the living room to lavenders in the bedroom to basil for the kitchen and orchids for the bathrooms, there are various options to suit the needs of the walls in each room of your home and add a fresh touch to your decor. 

Decorating your walls with decorative elements is a fantastic way to add personality and style to your home. Whether you prefer to be minimalist or go all out, there are various possibilities for transforming your walls into a stunning visual display.
