Spruce Up Your Blank Walls With These Practically Tantalising Ideas

Yes, empty walls do look gorgeous in most cases, and we also understand that these walls ironically become your breathing space in a compact home. We also understand that blank walls add that much-needed negative space to your room and can make your space appear less cluttered and give your eyes a place to rest if your home is heavily decorated in the other spaces. Yes, empty walls are refreshing too, and they make your space complete, and it’s definitely a plus if you’re claustrophobic. And a big yes to every other advantage you can think of when it comes to flaunting bare walls in your home. But after a while, these same bare walls might appear cold, uninteresting, and uninviting, and that’s when you’ll thank us for telling you everything that we’re about to tell you. 

Dull and empty walls not only kill the vibe of your decor but affect the aura of your space too. And look at it this way, a bare wall is just another missed opportunity to give your space the perfect makeover you’ve always dreamed of. According to Feng Shui, negative space controls the flow of energy and can significantly influence the aura of your living space. But if your space has multiple walls that are bare, then it can definitely suck the life out of your home. There has to be a balance in every element that your abode flaunts. Even if you’re not really a maximalist and you don’t want your walls to be decorated too much, then consider going with minimalist design ideas for your walls. The point is that empty walls are a downer, and even a little touch might transform your decor as you’d never imagine. Now take a look at everything that you can do to decorate your walls.

Paint Your Walls ‘Green’

Not literally! What we’re trying to say is that going green with your decor is an excellent eco-friendly idea that can gorgeously add a distinct flair to your fabulous abode. While many homeowners started integrating natural elements into their decor long back, sustainability has again taken the spotlight and going green with your decor is the flavour of your season. 

The sleekest idea we have for you is placing tiny planters on your walls. The thing with wall-mounted planters is that they are highly customisable. You can not only choose the backdrop of your colour, you can also choose the planters, the plants and the way they should be placed on the wall. The icing on the cake would be lighting up this wall, illuminating all the beautiful plants, and showing off your green fingers. 

If you’re not really sure about the lighting part, then take a look at these efficient yet elegant lighting designs straight from The White Teak’s collection…

Stratosphere Downlight: This gorgeous lighting design can beautifully illuminate every inch of your wall. Get a couple more of these, and you’ll have your own little green gallery. Switch off every other light in the space and create an entrancing scene with these lighting fixtures. The real ace up this light’s sleeve is that it is tiltable, and you can customise the scene whenever you feel like seeing a change. The downlight flaunts an effortlessly modern design with a bold black body and a matte gold reflector.

Give The Blank Wall An Artsy Touch 

When it comes to giving the bare wall an artistic touch, there are literally a million things you could go for. The key is to go for something that truly resonates with your taste and complements the rest of your decor. If you’re really into art, then consider installing a large-scale artwork in the space. Colour the background and light up the space to score the brownie points. 

If art really isn’t your style, then you could either place one large photograph on the wall or go with multiple pictures and turn it into a gallery wall. Not only does it add depth to your space, but you can relive countless memories every time you look at that beautifully adorned wall of yours. 

And if photographs, too, are not your thing, then pull your socks up and get ready for an intense DIY session and paint the wall just the way you want to. You could turn it into an accent wall or simply paint a minimalist mural and give your decor a distinct touch. 

If none of the above things works out for you, then a temporary wallpaper could be your last resort. Temporary wallpapers are easy to install, convenient, easy to find and definitely easy to remove. That’s a big plus if you’re into revamping your decor frequently. You can find a million designs out there, just choose the one that fits your space the best.

Another trend in the design industry that could really add an uber-chic touch to your decor is a calendar wall. Install a large-scale acrylic calendar on your wall that is transparent, and can be wiped clean. You’ll never miss out on anything on your schedule.

Now, all these elements can accentuate the aura of your space, but here’s what will be the icing on the cake…

Beautiful Lives Wall Light: This gorgeous picture wall light is practically perfect for your space if you’re going for an artwork or a gallery wall. The best part about this beauty is that the light shades are adjustable, and you can customise the lighting just the way you want. The picture light flaunts a matte gold body that will lend an exceptionally elegant touch to your decor.

Keeping It Simple And Subtle With A Panelled Wall 

Wall panelling is an effortless way to lend an added dimension to your living space. The aesthetic value that a panelled wall can lend to your space is simply unmatched. No matter if you prefer minimalism or maximalism, this wall is bound to give your home just the makeover you’ve been looking for. Wall panelling is also a practical choice for your space as it is the best way to conceal all the electrical fittings or any kind of unattractive features on the wall. The fact that it requires zero maintenance is another long-term advantage of the wall. Don’t really bother lighting this part up specifically, as it will look gorgeous enough with the primary lighting design in the room. Unless you’re planning to put something else on the wall, it is really unnecessary. But we really recommend keeping the panelled wall blank.
