Simple Wall Decorating Ideas

When it comes to décor, you have to decide if you like simple or complex. Simple wall decorating ideas might be as easy as finding the perfect wallpaper to adorn your walls. It may also mean finding a great paint design you can do yourself.

Many home improvement stores have classes to teach you different painting techniques, and quite often these are free. You may also find wall fixtures or unique lighting pieces there, and they may be all you need.

Other places to find wall decorating ideas are home magazines or home shows on television. There are millions of things you can do, and you may just need to search until something catches your eye. Don’t stress about it too hard. You’ll know it when you see it. You may also find great wall decorating ideas by finding a painting or wall hanging that you fall in love with instantly. This can help you decide what colors you love, and what theme you may wish to use.

When it comes to your home, you want it to feel like it is a special place for you and your family. Even if you are single, you want your home to feel like a place where you can relax and express your personal style. There are many ways you can make your house into a home, and one great way is by finding some great wall decorating ideas that are fun, but decidedly you.

As I said...wall decorating ideas are everywhere; you just have to find what suits your style and your budget. There is something out there for every price range, and you can find wall decorating ideas in the strangest places. Just last week, much to my shock, I saw something amazing on the wall of a McDonalds near Washington DC. If I could find something like it near me, I would gladly hang it on my wall.

If you have a larger budget, you can consult with an interior designer for wall decorating ideas. They can do a room for you, or simply help you decide what you might like, and give you some ideas to get you going. At times, all you need is a color and an idea, and you will find yourself with the perfect looking room. If an interior decorator is not your speed, you might want to search online for ideas, or steal ideas from your favorite movie or television show. The possibilities are endless.

Stark space in a room can make the area feel cold and uninviting. Adding a little personality to your walls can warm up the space and give it some great character. There are a lot of wall decorating ideas that can help you accomplish this. Following are some great ideas for wall décor that can help you add a little life to stark areas.

Texture added to your wall decorating ideas can give them depth and interest. I have seen some extreme approaches to this technique including gluing straw to the area as well as applying crinkled paper bags to the wall. These are a little too unusual for most tastes.

There are other ways to add texture without using strange materials or odd looking elements. Wallpaper comes in an array of styles and textures. You can find great wall decorating ideas simply by looking at textures available in wallpaper. It is a lot nicer and easier to apply to the area than hay.

Some people prefer to use an item like a beautiful quilt to add a little depth and texture to their walls. This is a great way to show off your favorite quilt or your most prized family heirloom sewn by an ancestor. Using elements like this is a personal favorite of mine among the many wall decorating ideas available.

You might want to use your specific interests as inspiration for your wall decorating ideas. My husband collects antique tools and we use them in a wonderful display. The great thing about using this collection is the items cover our high walls and they are relatively inexpensive. This wall decorating idea works well because the tools would just be lying around in a disorganized mess in our basement if they weren’t displayed.

If you have a girl’s room to design you may want to look at your closet or attic space for inspiration for good wall decorating ideas. I used a couple of my old gowns I wore to proms and Christmas dances when I was in high school as wall décor.

These formal dresses were packed away in my attic and were of no use but the colors and patterns were so pretty I thought that they would be great for a little girl’s retreat. This is one of the wall decorating ideas that really appeals to children. My niece immediately runs for the playroom whenever she visits.

Another idea comes from a friend of mine. Her husband was a college hockey player. He took his team jersey, framed it, and hung it in their family play room. This fits really well in that room and provides a great conversation piece.

As you can see wall decorating ideas can come from anywhere. There are no limits and very few rules

You may not have to go to the store to buy interior décor. There are great wall decorating ideas all around you.
