Looking for ways to bring a wow factor to boring walls? While traditional canvases may be your go-to, there are certainly a number of wall art alternatives.
Dressing your walls is a great way to add an interesting design element that often serves as a focal point or springboard to an interesting and more out-of-the-box space.
Need some wall design ideas? Here are some top tips.
1Consider wallpaper. Wallpaper remains a popular and relatively affordable way to bring an instant design element to boring walls.
2 Purchase removable wall stickers. Don’t want something permanent? Wall stickers are both portable and temporary and can be used in a host of different spaces.
3 Infuse unexpected wall art such as tapestries, wall hangings or mixed media.
4 Go retro! A lot of times, classic rock ‘n’ roll art or vintage framed prints add a design element that never goes out of style.
5 Frame oversized black and white prints. Big and bold works well when looking for ways to add a focal point or help ground a space.
