A home is very significant to us as we keep our loved ones safe there, and more importantly, we get to express ourselves through the way we make the home look. A wall is like a blank canvas that is waiting to be worked on and it’s quite surprising how few people know how to make a wall look cheerful, colourful and decorative beyond just painting the walls one dull block of colour.
The interior design of a home is a very important aspect because it creates a room full of contentment and artistic expression. Cheerful wall paintings and design tricks go beyond just being a mood lifter, but they give the room a whole new vibe and fresh energy. With a little imagination and creativity, you can transform your walls to be the highlight of the room or the house.
Here are 10 simple ways to transform your walls from looking basic to being the talk of every house guest you have;
1. Painted Skirting Boards
The skirting boards in a home can sometimes be overlooked as not being important as part of the interior decor necessities. However, painting them would make a big difference to a room, especially when painted in a contrasting colour to the walls in the room.
2. Multi coloured pastel pairing
Pastel colours are known to be the softer, calmer and more delicate shade of a colour. Painting a room with multiple pastel colours give it a much fun, chic vibe while still maintaining a smart look compared to dousing the room with a single plain looking colour.
3. Geometric lines
Geometric lines on a wall creates a stunning look. Several lines are integrated into the walls and are sometimes painted. Pictured above is a gold coloured set of geometric lines on a cement coloured wall.
4. Honeycomb
The honeycomb wall design makes use of hexagonal patterns that are either randomly placed or placed next to each other to create a fun, artistic look. The hexagons can be painted to accentuate the colour of the walls of the room.
5. Painted geometric repeat pattern
Geometric wall patterns are very artistic wall design patterns. They can be used to complement existing designs or create new designs entirely. There is no right or wrong way to paint them as they are highly adaptable.
6. Wooden texture walls
Wood is a versatile and important aspect of home decor. That’s why it comes as no surprise that when wood is lined up in thin strips to be used as a wall design, it looks so good. It’s an all time favourite as a lot of people love the infinite options that can be used to make the best of this material.
7. Stylish matte black wall colour
Black walls are usually not the go-to wall colour choice for most people, and that’s understandable. However, when done correctly especially with matte paint, it comes out quite nice. Matte black accent walls are starting to become trendy as people are starting to see how it can make a room look very appealing.
8. Wall stencils
Unlike wallpapers, wall stencils give you the flexibility to pick what shape and combination of colours you want to use for the walls. Stencils are highly beneficial tools to help you decorate your walls how you see fit.
9. Thick horizontal stripes
Thick horizontal wall stripes are not just stylish, but they create a modern contemporary feel to a room where it is being used in. They add a nice vibe to a room and they visually change room proportions.
10. Paint doors, door frames and skirting in contrasting colours to the walls
Nothing makes a room stand out more than when doors, door frames and skirting boards are painted a contrasting colour to the walls. It makes the room pop and creates a very stylish ambiance. Some people could take it a step further and paint the doors, door frames and skirting different colours while simultaneously making sure these colours contrast with the wall.
