Think of the walls of your home as a beautiful blank canvas, just waiting to be transformed into personal expressions of joy based on your unique style. Wall décor has the power to instantly elevate your interiors—but with so many options out there, it can be hard to know where to begin.
Below, we’ll give you some expert suggestions for turning your walls into stunning features within your home.
Begin with a solid foundation: The impact that the colour of a room has on the feeling it creates is powerful. Painting your walls a certain colour will greatly influence the vibe of the space. For instance, bold and bright colours like Red and yellow will bring a feeling of energy and enthusiasm. Colours like blue and green will bring a calming feeling, so these shades work particularly well in areas where relaxation is key. Neutral colours are endlessly versatile and make exceptional anchor colours for those who may want to accessorise with bolder elements.
Install a gallery wall: Gallery walls have become a classic choice for wall art, offering a customisable way to display some of your favourite pieces. What makes gallery walls particulary great are their versatility—you can seamlessly mix objects and artwork. Add mirrors, plates, artwork, photographs—whatever you’d like. Before beginning the gallery wall process, take some time to plan your layout so it looks exactly how you’d like it to.
When in doubt, make a feature wall: Feature walls, when done right, are timeless ways to add dimension and interest to a room. There are a variety of ways you can create your feature wall: painting it a bold colour, making it textured, adding wallpaper or creating a wallpaper look with stencils, or making a mural. Crown has everything you need to get your walls painted to perfection. Within our range of gorgeous shades, you’re bound to find a colour that suits you just right. If you want a texture feature wall, we recommend exploring our CRAFTED collection, which comes in a luxurious suede textured finish that creates a soft, natural brushed effect on your walls. It’s a beautiful way to add interest, texture, and a subtle softness to any space.
Use wall hangings to add texture: Wall hangings, tapestries, and other textiles are a great way to introduce texture and warmth to your walls. While this type of décor was once particularly associated with boho, eclectic, or rustic interiors, we have recently seen it very successfully adapted into a variety of styles. There are plenty of textile art options available, so you’ll be able to find one that perfectly suits your needs. Don’t be afraid to get creative—if the classic tapestries don’t float your boat, use rugs, macramé hangings, woven baskets, fabric panels—anything you like the look of. There are no rules!
Add sculptural elements: Wall décor shouldn’t be limited to flat surfaces– sculptural elements can add dimension, character, and interest to your walls. Incorporating 3D pieces like metal art, hanging planters, or textured panels can create a dynamic focal point. These elements also help break up visual monotony and bring depth to your space.
Incorporate mirrors: Mirrors are not only stylish- they’re practical. Hanging mirrors on your walls will reflect the light within the room, making the space fee bigger and brighter. Whether you want to opt for an oversized mirror for a dramatic statement piece, a geometric-shaped mirror for an artistic touch, or create a mirrored gallery wall to add personality and sophistication, tailor the look to suit your personal style.
Your walls offer endless possibilities to transform your space. Whatever your personal style may be, you can have some fun making your wall décor a reflection of your unique tastes. By following the ideas above, you’ll be well on your way to having the best dressed walls in town!
