- Flank wall decor with sconces. Your favorite pieces will shine brighter illuminated by sconces. We recommend using large works of art to create a stunning statement. If your style is more modern, perhaps hang abstract wall art. Looking for more rustic touches? Check out wall decor with wooden and iron finishes for a farmhouse feel. For added drama, consider using pendant lighting that hangs from the ceiling.
2. Use mirrors to catch the light. Not only are wall mirrors stylish, they’re a brilliant way to make a space seem larger. You’ll want to use larger scale mirrors to really maximize this effect. So, where should you place your mirror? Above your sofa, mantel or a console table is a beautiful place to showcase your mirror. For trending style, sunburst mirrors are our faves.
3. Create a feature wall with wallpaper. Looking to make a bold refresh? Wallpaper is making a great comeback. For an on-trend look, roll out floral, geometric, metallic or natural designs. We’re loving wallpaper that looks like wood, stone or brick to create a rustic feel.
Shopping Tip: Get all the must-haves to hang your wallpaper with Graham & Brown's wallpaper paste set that includes a roller, tray, plumb line, smoother and paste.
4. Arrange frames for a gallery wall. You don’t have to leave your house to go to a gallery. Hang a collection of your treasured family photos or artwork on the walls. For a whimsical feel, vary the sizes of the picture frames. To keep this look cohesive, make sure the frames are all the same color.
Shopping Tip: Check out gallery wall sets that include matching frames to make your life easier.
5. Turn a bookcase into a display area. Bookshelves are more than just a place to house your beloved titles. Infuse added interest to your bookcase by showcasing vases, candles and picture frames. When decorating a bookshelf, consider varying the height and scale of your items for an elevated look. If you like a more streamlined approach, a color-coded or monochromatic arrangement will suit you the best.
6. Swap out your wall decor seasonally. You can breathe new life into a room by rotating your wall art based on the time of year. For example, hang a wreath around the holidays and display a floral arrangement for spring.
7. Prop up a decorative ladder. Trending style is within your reach with a decorative ladder. It’s an excellent way to fill a blank space on the wall. You can leave your decorative ladder as is or adorn the rungs with throws, magazines or string lighting.
8. Display your china in a cabinet. If you have a larger wall to fill in your dining room, a china cabinet is a great way to utilize this space. Cabinets not only provide an area to store your items, they can also be used to incorporate design elements for a stylish finish. Mix in figurines, souvenirs and vases along with your china for a chic display.
9. Drape a curtain over your wall. You’ll lend a warm and cozy feel to any room by hanging a curtain over an empty wall. When you want to create a different feel for this space, you can simply change the curtain. You can select from a wide array of colors, patterns and textures for endless possibilities.
10. Dial into timeless style with a wall clock. It’s an ideal centerpiece for your wall, and it’s practical as well. You can place a wall clock over your mantel, sofa or console table for a chic look. For a stylish finish, balance out your clock with wall candle holders at either side.
