Are you determined to refresh the wall décor in your living room but aren’t sure where to start? Do you want to keep the project relatively simple so that whatever you pick still works with the existing design concept in the room? Just because you want to do a makeover project doesn’t mean you’re willing to start from scratch. Not to worry as we’ve got just the solution. Here are four refreshing wall decor ideas that are perfect for your living room, simple to accomplish, easy on the budget and yet will still have an impact.
Hang a Wall Clock – Combine Style with Function
Sometimes style and function can be combined and play off each other, and that’s exactly the case with wall clocks. Hanging a wall clock can act as a beautiful and interesting design feature in the room, helping to pull a concept together and make the room feel complete. At the same time, it is incredibly useful to have a clock in the room.
Another aspect that makes a wall clock more appealing is the fact there are many different styles available. The first decision you’ll want to make is choosing between a digital or analogue clock. Analogue clocks have arms on them, whereas digital just provides a digital reading of time. If you like the more traditional and classic look and want the clock to play a big part in the décor, analogue is typically the better option.
Create a Hanging Art Wall – Tap into Your Creative Side
If you want a big impact, then creating an art wall can be a stunning addition to the living room. To accomplish this project, you’ll need an open wall with plenty of space to work with. Because art is in the eye of the beholder, there are no rules when it comes to what you pick to hang. Just go with what speaks to you and what works with the overall design, and make sure it has unique features. Remember, the art wall is going to be a focal point so you can be bold with your choices.
Some design experts suggest you pick one large, oversized piece if you want to keep it simple. If you want to be more creative, pick a variety of sizes, frame types and colours, subjects in the art, various colour palettes, and don’t feel obligated to hang them symmetrically. By the end of the project, it will feel like you’ve got a gallery wall to enjoy.
An Oversized Decorative Rug Can be Stunning on the Wall
Stepping outside the box, maybe you want to consider hanging an area rug on the wall as art. Some of the area rugs available today feel more like artwork than a functional rug for your home. They incorporate intricate designs, gorgeous colours, geometrical patterns, and interesting textures. Try to envision how that might look hanging on the wall and the personality it would bring to the space.
You Can’t Go Wrong with Mirrors
Then we have the safe bet which is mirrors. Although it’s a safe option, that doesn’t take away from how beautiful and fresh a mirror looks hanging on the wall. Mirrors can also help to bring light to a room and make a small space feel larger and grander. You can choose one oversized mirror or opt for a few mirrors either of the same size and shape or different ones. Your choice will determine how elegant or eclectic and casual the space will feel.
All too often homeowners underutilise wall space in terms of décor. Each of these ideas will help you to add personality to the space and refresh the décor in the living room.
