12 TIPS FOR DECORATING A LARGE WALL
- Take individual pictures of your family members and have large prints made in black and white. You may compliment the size of each photo by adding a photo mat. After that, frame them in inexpensive black frames and hang them in a row across the wall.
- Let your kids be the artists. Purchase large canvases and let your children paint their masterpieces. Or take artwork they have already done at school or at home and mat and frame them.
- Use floating shelves hung at various heights and topped with photos, vases, ornaments, books, candles, or mementos.
- Use plants to fill in empty spaces. You can place potted plants or succulents on floating shelves, use planters or hanging baskets made to attach directly to the wall, or make a DIY vertical garden out of an old wooden pallet.
- Use mixed media to add texture and interest to any wall, including large woven tapestries, wooden and metal furnishings, and hand-painted canvases.
- Add character by hanging a collection of quirky clocks, different sized mirrors, graphic signs, old album covers, vintage prints, painted empty frames, or crosses.
- Stencil your wall with a graphic design, a tree, vines, or a floral pattern, or favorite inspirational quote.
- Reduce the wall space and soften the room by framing the wall with false drapery panels hung on either end of a sofa or pair of chairs.
- Light it up by attaching LED string lights in a pattern or hanging pretty wall sconces at various heights.
- Reduce the wall space by placing a potted tree or folding decorative screen in front of part of the wall.
- Search antique malls for vintage architectural pieces that can be hung on the wall, such as old window frames, an antique door, intricate fireplace screen.
- Create your own graphic by covering large frames or canvases with patterned fabric remnants and hanging them in a row or collage.
