 | It’s the way we decorate that gives homes our personal stamps. Decorating the walls is more than simply hanging a few pictures; it’s also about creating an atmosphere that expresses the way we feel about home. The following offerings are the top ten ways to decorate the walls of your home to exude personal style.
Painting the walls is about color, texture, and even pattern. Paint can transform the walls of a living room into a golden parlor straight out of Tuscany. A red interior can be reminiscent of a Paris boudoir. To truly employ paint as a decorative form, consider using a special finish to give the walls their signature style. Employ painted patterns or use various colors for walls throughout the home for color splashes that change moods from room to room.
Similarly, wall paper can dramatically enhance a room’s decorative style. Vintage patterns symbolize a love for past eras while modern patterns can give a home a creative edge. Wall paper can be used throughout a room or be placed on one wall. There are some papers that actually create a scene. These are wonderful considerations for children’s rooms, offices, or even sun rooms.

Wall Art
Framed posters can also achieve a stylish look for walls. Consider framed posters of cafe art for the kitchen, classic film posters for the den, and vintage advertising posters for the home office. Poster art is filled with fascinating artists and works that are sure to become conversation pieces around the home.
Photographs add a personal element to walls that conveys a willingness to share family and friends with other onlookers, but it also surrounds the homeowner with images of those they love best. To give hanging photographs and artistic look, try converting them to sepia or black and white and frame them with similar frames. The frames can add an important dimension to photographs and other kinds of framed art so be sure to take your time when choosing styles.
In French, trompe l'oeil means "to fool the eye." It is a painted wall decoration that renders an image or scene three-dimensionally. It may be a series of painted bas reliefs in a hallway or it may be a painted window scene in a powder room. It can also be as simple as a swag of ivy above a fireplace. It can be accomplished in some cases with paint and stencils, but the best examples tend to be added with the help of professional artists.
Including some hanging tapestries or quilts on the walls is a surefire way to add an element of surprise. Although not particularly unusual, the use of tapestries is not altogether common. Many tapestries depict classic scenes from history. Others convey historical scenes such as ballroom dancers of the eighteenth century. Heavy tapestries can actually help keep out draughts just as they did in the past when used along castle walls. Many quilts are simply works of art that can be displayed for their fine craftsmanship in bedrooms or dens.
Mosaic designs or tiled walls are a refreshing take on wall decor. A mosaic design might be abstract or create an image like a mermaid in the bathroom or a bowl of fruit in the kitchen. Using tiles is a great way to add a different texture and medium to walls which can only serve to surprise guests and charm the eye. Even abstract designs can make use of size and color to provide an attractive wall display. Or, consider adding vintage tiles to a portion of a wall for a great look from the past.
To add elegance or make a small room appear larger, consider incorporating mirrors. Although entire walls can literally be paneled with mirrors, a lovely look might employ a series of vintage mirrors in gilt frames hung along single wall or throughout a room. There are also artistically etched mirrors that are works of art. For instance, mirrors might render an etched scene of birds or botanicals.
Finally, consider incorporating various collections as wall art. Many things can be hung on the walls for decorative appeal that include old tin signs, framed antique postcards, vintage perfume adds, pieces of embroidery, basketry, old tools, framed memorabilia, old clocks, vintage handkerchiefs, etc…These personal collections truly add a special dynamic to the walls that signals something both rare and special. |
