1. Fabric Wall Hanging

Fabric panels not only look good but they also add colors to the wall. Moreover, you get to see a lovely contrast. Look around for any vintage rug, quilt, panel, or cloth that is not in use. Repurpose it and hang it on the wall to see the true charm. The fabric will look great on a smooth glossy wall and it will be a cherry on the top if the backdrop is neutral. 

It is a great idea if there is drywall at your place. If you don’t want to hire expensive painters and avoid hefty  drywall estimates, you can opt for this idea.

2. Paper Rosette Backdrop

Buy different colors of paper and stick them to the wall. Moreover, it is a smart way if you want to decorate the walls according to any themed event.

Spray some paint on it or use different colored papers to wrap them over the boxes. Or you can buy some ribbons to add a more aesthetic touch. You can also join separate boxes and dress up the empty wall.

4. Hang Pictures

Pictures or digital images add value to the interior, and incorporating picture lighting can further enhance their impact by drawing attention to their details. Gone are the days when everybody used to hang pictures framed in heavy metal.

Instead of creating the same monotonous display, spruce up your wall with ingenious DIY ideas. You can go creative with abstract digital photographs or if you have a knack for painting, paint abstracts yourself and hang them on the wall. 

Or simply take plain paper, spray some paint on it, write some words or quotes, and voila! Hang them on the wall. Let the horses of your imagination run wild.

5. Drip Painting

Drip painting is one of the easiest ways to decorate the walls. You don’t need to be an artist to pull it off. You can use gloss enamel paints or you can go for fluid acrylic paints that come in a tube and take home the bragging rights. Take different paint colors, a hard brush or stick, and create striking wall arts. If you find the paint is thick, use any pouring medium to make it thin. 

Pour the paint one by one and spray water to get a more dripping effect. Spread it with a brush.

6. Plates Wall Arrangement

Empty corners tend to make beautiful rooms look dull. In fact, decorating nooks of the space can add life to that area. Luckily, the corner decorations are easy and can be decorated without any extra effort. In a living room, you can pick a corner where you can give the wall a better finish by pasting cool wallpapers. We recommend finishing borders of those wallpapers with a scarlet ribbon to give a more subtle finish.
