Your walls define your spaces, so it’s only fair that you give decorating them a great deal of thought. The right kind of wall décor can serve as your room’s focal point and dramatically transform the look and feel of your space. And while doing up your walls requires patience and eye for detail, it does not have to be hard or even burn a hole in your pocket.
When your wall spaces need some love, there are quite a few options to dress them up. Here are some easy ways to decorate your wall on a budget!
Painted empty frames for wall decor
Framed artwork mounted on walls is commonly used for wall decor. However, if you'd like to get a bit more creative, you could instead ramp your walls with a collection of empty frames arranged aesthetically to create a striking pattern on the wall.
To take it one notch above, paint these frames in colours that align or complement your room’s décor scheme.
Make sure to pick frames in different shapes and sizes to help them stand out. You’ll be able to get them for an excellent bargain at thrift stores, flea markets or even the very popular chor bazaars.
Get creative with plates and saucers
Using plates to complement your cutlery is practical and utilitarian. But it is not the only way to use them. Today they can add decorative value to your home in more ways than one. Ever think about making them a part of your wall décor?
A fabulous pick-me-up idea for your walls is to simply use an assortment of patterned plates, quarter plates and saucers and have them mounted in an interesting fashion.
Plates can be bought inexpensively at just about any flea market or budget crockery store. What’s more, you’ll find plenty of DIY tutorials on the web that show you how to hang these plates on your wall without any damage.
Use wall decals or wall stickers!
Wallpapers can often feel a little out of the budget when you’re looking to make small changes in your home. At such instances, wall decals or stickers make for stunning alternatives.
Today, just about any online décor store will offer you a wide assortment of designs to select from, for your living areas, bathroom, bedrooms, home office and more. The other great thing about these decals is that they’re easy to apply and can be removed without leaving any sticky residue on the wall’s surface. So changing a sticker is also no big task. Plus, they’re relatively inexpensive, and the rewards for your interiors are immense.
Think floating shelves
Storage space is something almost everyone wants more of.
And if you want to revamp your walls as well increase its functional storage space, then floating shelves are the way to go.
Floating shelves are clever because not only do they help you quickly showcase your favourite accessories, they also create room for storage. They appear as if attached to the wall without the help of brackets or braces. And are incredibly easy to mount with just one screw.
By grouping multiples shelves together you can give your wall a modern and contemporary look.
A fresh coat of paint
Another budget-friendly way to give your room a new lease of life is to create a feature wall with a fresh coat of paint.
You could choose a complementing or contrasting shade of paint colour to that of the remaining walls and create interest. Frame some art, and you can make your feature wall the focal point of your room.
