How to decorate your blank walls

Do you feel that there is something missing in your home, or your dead blank wall keeps staring at you? Every person has unique needs. Some are comfortable with minimalist style, rejoicing in simplicity while others are not settled with undecorated white walls. Looking to convert your bare walls into the most ravishing corner of your place? Whatever your personality type might be, we’ve got you covered.

• How much art is too much art?

If you are an art collector or an art enthusiast, then curating an art wall is the perfect option. An oversized painting or a photograph with a bold dramatic frame can set the mood of the space. Go for a bold art piece against a white backdrop and make it a centre of attention. Black and white photograph will add character to the space against a printed armchair and a full grown monstera plant. Or you can go for abstract artwork against a neutral backdrop.

• Hang a sculptural sconce!

If you like warm, ambient lighting, then go for a sculptural sconce for your place. Sconces add an extra source of light without taking much space. Vintage or sizeable contemporary light fixtures will draw attention and the goal is to evenly light the room. Keep the sconces slightly above direct eye line.

• Give your wall a bohemian element with Macramé wall art

If you think of macramé as neutral-coloured and basic, you need to think again. Macramé adds texture and style and is a unique design element. You can combine it with a gallery wall or hang it just above the couch. In fact, you can design a whole wall using tonnes of macramé pieces.

When you shop for macramé, be sure of the sizes and shape so that they complement the room and each other.
