There are infinite ways to adorn your walls… but today we are going to highlight 7 of them to give you a start! Hopefully they will inspire you along the way. The one thing that is so important is that you love whatever you choose or create!
Wallpaper Mural
To be honest… I really have not seen many of these before. While looking around on Etsy this fun shop came up and it looked very interesting. They have all different size murals and styles and I thought what a show stopper one of these would be in your favorite room! From Florals to Landscapes and more. Then while looking at all of our favorite Farmhouse Blogs… I saw that Lauren from Bless’er House actually just installed one of these in her Dining Room and what an impact it made… be sure to check it out! She also shares tips, tricks and technique! This just might be something you didn’t know about before and when see them you will know if one if perfect for your home. The possibilities are endless and the way it customizes a room is fabulous! Be sure to visit the Etsy Shop Decorvm You can always paint a mural or have one painted for you as alternative options.
Adding Textiles
Textiles can add so much to a space… the colors and textures can create a calm and serene atmosphere. You can go LARGE or smaller… totally up to you and how the piece fits your space. While looking around… I saw this piece that would look amazing in a child’s room… something like this could totally make the space…
Something simple and inexpensive like this Mushroom Tapestry could just make the Kitchen or Dining Room more wonderful. You could hang it in it’s cloth form… or you could create a wooden hanger or even frame it! Try looking around at tea towels… there are a plethora of designs that you can turn into art in a snap!
If you are lucky enough to have a homemade quilt… you don’t have to use it as a blanket or have it at the end of the bed or on a chair… it can become a large focal piece of art in a snap! You can build a Quilt Hanger Frame like this on … easily… plus they are very affordable to purchase! Just think of the drama with a quilt on the wall!
How about this Stuffed Hanging Rainbow that is simple to make! Perfect for a babies room or any where that would love a Rainbow! You can even customize the colors to your liking. You will find the diy over at A Beautiful Mess.
There are so many possibilities in the Textile category. Explore them all and find the items that are picture perfect for your home.
Wall Gallery
Now here is where you can create your own piece of art that tells the world something about you and your family. It can display an art collection, photos, an eclectic array of your favorite things and so much more. It doesn’t have to be just framed art… you can mix… match…with keepsakes such as pennants, textiles, fabrics, etc, then you can add shelves to display dimensional pieces from statues too ceramics, to unique bottles and so much more. The final goal is to cover a nice space on the wall that becomes a focal point with meaning or the perfect esthetic you were looking for. Go as small or as large as you like! The possibilities are truly endless and each one will be amazing. You might enjoy checking out these Farmhouse Wall Galleries.
Use Mirrors
Mirrors might not actually be artwork but some have amazing style from Vintage to Farmhouse to Ultra Modern. They can cover large areas on the wall, you can even lean a large mirror on the wall… plus they make the room they are in look bigger and brighter. You will never regret adding them to your space (just avoid them when you are having a bad hair day!) Mirrors are also fabulous to collect and create Wall Galleries with. For really unique mirrors… check out the Flea Markets,Thrift Stores, Garage sales and of course Boutiques, specialty shops and more!
Open Shelving
Not everyone immediately thinks of shelving as a wall decoration but it so is! Just think of all the possibilities that lie ahead. You can choose from the vast styles of shelving which gives you so much potential. Some shelves themselves are pieces of art. You can display collections, books, artwork, toys, plants and combination which will form vignettes and so much more. In a child’s room… they are perfect for displaying toys! Another fringe benefit to shelving is that it acts as stylish storage! They make your walls come alive! So truly consider adding some shelving that speaks to you and use all of your inner creativity to make those shelves come alive.
Hanging Rugs
Do you have a large wall space you would love to see just pop and make a statement? Have you ever considered hanging a rug on the wall? Think about all the varieties of rugs on the market right now… from super modern to pop art to vintage to oriental rugs of great detail and beyond… the varieties are literally endless. Now think about them hanging on the wall… the right style with the right texture could be the picture perfect piece of art. They are great for smaller spaces also because they come in so many different sizes. Great for Bedroom, Living Room, Kids Room, Nursery and every other room in the home. Explore this option… it could be just what you have been looking for!
Original and DIY Art
There is nothing like an original piece of art that you love. Create a Wall Gallery with them… use them individually or paired…even tilt them on a shelf. Original handmade Art by you is also another fabulous idea and the possibilities are too numerous to count. (check out these Unique and Creative DIY Farmhouse Wall Art Projects) You can also go super budget friendly and check out all the Free Printables that are out there! We have a ton here at The Cottage Market in our Freebie Gallery. It’s amazing what a mat and a fab frame can turn something free into!
Hope these ideas gave you a lot of inspiration! As far as my favorite… I enjoy an eclectic array of some or all of the above!
