Wall Decor Ideas to Transform Every Room in the House

Wall decor is a finishing touch that can add life and character to every room in the house. Well chosen wall art and decor can complement the existing style of your interiors or add a striking contrast that changes the entire feel of the room. The things that you put on your walls should capture your imagination, start a conversation, transport you to another world, or remind you of what you find beautiful, funny, or life-affirming.

Check out these wall decor ideas for every room that will inspire you to give your own blank walls a little love.?

Display Your Tools

Wall decor can be anything from pure embellishment to a display of your favorite accessories, collections, or tools. In this Maine kitchen from?Tyler Karu Design + Interiors, a grouping of well seasoned cutting boards in various shapes and sizes hangs on the wall, freeing up counter space while both remaining accessible and doubling as decor.

Go Big in a Small Bathroom

Ghislaine Vinas?added a large-scale photograph of a woman underwater that adds color and life to a white windowless bathroom and is all the decor that the small space needs.

Decorate with Mirrors

Decorative mirrors add style, reflect and bounce light around the room, and increase sightlines to make any space feel bigger and brighter. A mirror can also turn a neglected corner into a feature, like the classic Venetian mirror lighting up this all-white hallway from?Leanne Ford Interiors.

Plant a Green Wall

The wall of this Florida dining room from interior designer?Maite Granda?is decorated with a floor-to-ceiling?living wall?that brings a giant dose of feel-good?biophilic design?to the party. If you don't have the budget for a floor-to-ceiling green wall, adding plants or a?DIY preserved moss wall hanging?will create a similar if less jaw-dropping effect.

Stick With Black and White

The photos, illustrations, graphic prints and typography-based wall decor in this eat-in kitchen designed by Brady Tolbert for?Emily Henderson Design?stick to a strict palette of black and white that matches the tones of the room and creates a strong and cohesive impact.

Use Vintage Signage

Hang Some Decorative Baskets

Wall baskets are an inexpensive option for filling blank walls above beds, couches, and other spaces that work well in modern interiors. In this kitchen from?Studio Peake, a grouping of similar but not identical decorative baskets is hung high on the wall above the built-in storage to add instant warmth and texture. Remember when displaying collections that it's often more aesthetically pleasing to stick to odd numbers like the five baskets featured above.

Layer Textiles

Studio Peake?used a range of textiles to add warmth to this London bedroom, from the fabric wall hanging to the extra tall canopy mounted on the wall above the bed.

Decorate With Preserved Flowers
