Your furniture is complete and appropriate, but the room still feels like something is missing. Maybe because the walls of your room are a bit empty? An empty wall will feel like something is incomplete. Too empty will make us feel overwhelmed. Filling empty walls with decorations or photo galleries is not only an aesthetic element but also to balance the composition in space. Then, how to fill it?
Use cheerful paint or wallpaper
The walls in the house are definitely painted, but painting the walls as an attempt to fill and define a room is different. To emphasize the room, paint in bold, and bright colors. You can also paint it with a combination of color variations. In addition, you can also apply wallpaper on the walls. Wallpaper with certain patterns and motifs will make your walls stand out.
It’s better if you don’t apply light color paint or wallpaper on all sides of the room walls. Applying it to the entire wall can make a room feel overwhelming. Apply to one or two blank sides. Then this brightly painted wall will balance the emptiness of the other side of the wall.
Add a wall mural
Another effort is fill the empty wall by apply a mural. Basically, murals are almost the same as paint and wallpaper, it is drawing and giving color to the walls. It’s just that mural images have more characteristics and stories. Mural seems to blend with the existing floors and furniture.
Hang the rug or motif cloth
If you don’t want to get dirty with paint, you can use a rug or patterned cloth that wide enough to stick or hang on your empty wall. An ethnic motif fabric or rug will fill your blank wall and make it stand out.
Create a gallery wall
You can always fill a blank wall with a photo gallery or painting. No need for too large paintings or of high value. Just a family photo or a piece of art you enjoy. You can even make your own based on your creativity. The most important thing is how to frame and structure it. Previously, we discussed tips on compiling photo galleries or works of art that you can apply. Do not just install one frame because it will be in vain. Install several photo frames on one side of the wall.
Mirror
In addition to photos and paintings, you can also install a mirror. Mirrors serves to give the illusion that the room looks bigger. This effort is suitable for filling an empty wall but the area of the room is not too large. You can install mirrors in various shapes based on your interest. A wide round mirror looks beautiful paired with a low wooden carcass and potted plants.
Hang a sculptural or craft decoration on the wall
In addition to the things above, you can hang other types of decorations in various shapes, such as porcelain decorative plates, wickerwork, or other handicrafts. You can arrange the plates in a snaking manner following the shape of the room and window. As a result, the arrangement looks neat and not excessive even though it takes up space on two sides of the wall.
Use hanging shelves
If hanging seems boring, use hanging shelves. With hanging shelves, you can not only placed photo frames or paintings, but you can also placed other three-dimensional decorations, books, or flower vases.
Just fill one side of the wall
The good news is, you don’t need to decorate the entire wall of the room. Decorating one side of the wall as a whole will have a big effect on the overall appearance of a room. At least, leave one side of the wall in each room to be free of decoration or plain, two would be better. This will give more space for your eyes and avoid crowded view in the room.
