If you’re like most people, you have probably run into the problem of having a blank wall in a space. Maybe you have an entire space fully furnished to your liking. However, there is something missing. Most of the time, we see that people don’t know how to decorate to make it look better, or they just don’t know where to start. Sometimes changing how a wall looks can change an entire space. Here are some ideas to help when figuring out what to do with that one, troublesome blank wall.
Create a Gallery Wall
A Gallery wall can mean many things. Here are three versions of this kind of wall that you can choose from. The first could be a photo wall where pictures of friends and family are framed and hung in a large collage-style. Next, one could hang a collection of paintings or art that flow well together. Lastly, it could be a combination of both pictures and art. In this case, it can be beneficial to stick to a theme so it doesn’t feel entirely random. For all three of these, there can be different shapes and sizes of frames. The best part is a gallery wall can be customized to your personality and what you like. Overall you can decide what is the best fit for you and have fun with it.
Create a Accent Wall
Who doesn’t love a good accent wall? Let's start with the definition first. An accent wall is one wall that adds more depth and interest in a space. It should be an eye catcher when someone first walks in. Sometimes it can even make the space look bigger than what it actually is. The wall can be a different color, pattern, or texture. This can be a great way to occupy a blank wall without creating much busyness.
Add Shelving to a Wall
Something so simple that can make a world of difference. When talking about shelving, just like the gallery wall, there are many options to choose from. Some examples would include getting built in shelving put into the wall. A cost-friendly idea would be stacked shelving - like the picture above. Another idea is to get one long shelf that spans the length of the wall. The best thing about shelving is that décor can be put on it. This can include plants, vases, pictures, art pieces, candles, and more. The only question you have to ask yourself is what will you use?
