Idea # 1: wallpaper
Classic and timeless, wallpaper had its heyday a few years ago before being dethroned by the wall sticker. However, a nice wallpaper can make all the difference in an interior. If you are worried about overloading a room with patterned wallpaper, you opt for only a section of the wall. Wow effect guaranteed!
Which wallpaper to choose for a wall decoration?
It all depends on your desires! Today, there are simple ones giving the illusion that your wall has been painted recently (ideal if the sanding and the undercoat do not appeal to you) or others, more worked playing on the textures in trompe-l eye (waxed concrete effect, for example) to the completely crazy "wallpaper paintings" adorned with colorful patterns that appear like real works of art!
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Idea n ° 2: light garlands
Creative and unique, this tip is perfect if you don't want to transform your interior but simply add a little something extra to a wall that is a little too “bare” or if your lamp's cable is too long on your side.
You will easily find garlands of all shapes and sizes to create a original wall decor. They give the room a cozy atmosphere and are ideal for a cocooning room. To hang them discreetly, bet on the Transparent Hooks of the Command ™ brand. These handy little accessories know how to be discreet by blending into the decor. They attach easily without drilling and remove without leaving a trace; and they can be reused at will: just change the adhesive strip. Perfect for repositioning your garland whenever you want!
Idea # 3: a wall of photo frames
The easiest option to dress up and personalize your walls is to hang your favorite photos and posters.
For fans of minimalism, black or gold frames are ideal because they stand out more on your white walls and also double as decorative items. Consider matching the tone of your frame to that of your living room (silver if your living room is in cold tones or gold if it is more in warm tones).
The trend is for the wall filled with photo frames, each prettier than the next. The ideal is therefore to mix small, large and medium formats, to alternate between photos and inspiring mantras … In short, do as you see fit, as long as the result matches your decoration.
If you want a truly personal interior, go for wall decorations made from photos. You can order a custom-made creation or, better, make a wall decoration yourself from your photos. To do this, you just have to outline a shape on your wall and then fill it with your favorite photos. There you go!

Idea # 4: giant wall shelves
Your style and your desires are constantly evolving, and this is reflected in the decoration of your home? So, you will love this tip! On your white walls, install large shelves like these: available on Amazon
Books, trinkets, photos, little cacti or houseplants, candles: accumulate whatever you like on them. You can even define a unique theme for each shelf if you want to create a bohemian, exotic or Scandinavian atmosphere. When you don't like it anymore? You just need to change the layout or the objects on your shelves. In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Idea # 5: the drawings
Hyper original and not yet seen too much, wall designs are seriously to be taken into account if you want to dress your walls.
Pale copy of the sticker? Not really, because the design gives you more leeway and above all allows you to play with colors, unlike the sticker.
If you don't have Picasso's talent, no problem, you can rent an overhead projector which will allow you to reproduce a drawing on your wall with incredible ease.
Another inexpensive and more regressive option: tracing paper!
On the color side, you are free to choose the ones you want. In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Idea # 6: slate paint
Very popular, chalkboard paint or chalkboard paint is a good idea if you want to bring your walls to life or if you have kids who can't help but doodle on the walls. We prefer it in an entrance, on the back of a door or in a kitchen …
Available on Amazon
Choose a section of the wall of your interior that you want to transform into a masterpiece and paint it with slate paint. Shopping list, diaries, drawings or sweet words: chalk will be your best friends!
Idea n ° 7: mirrors
To dress a wall without overloading its interior, take inspiration from dance studios. Affix a large mirror on the wall you want to pimp and admire the work: it will reflect the light and visually enlarge the room in which you have installed it.
Do you find that too much? Instead, opt for an accumulation of small mirrors (preferably all different from each other) and install them in an organized way but not too much. The Hall of Mirrors is yours!
Idea # 8: clocks
In the same vein as mirrors, you can also hang multiple wall clocks. Set each of them to the time of a different city, from New York to Paris to London, and your interior worthy of a real globetrotter!
Idea n ° 9: wall weaves
If you want to bring a poetic and retro touch to your white walls, the weaving will sound obvious. For a trendy wall decor, crack on the macrame! Small or large, colorful or neutral, macrame weaves dress the walls of the living room, the bedroom or the entrance in the blink of an eye.
No need to be a handyman or a DIY fan to have your bohemian wall weaving: the big brands are numerous to offer it. You will easily find it in all styles and shapes at low prices!
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Idea n ° 10: a green wall
