A large wall in your living room is a great way to make the space feel larger. It’s also an opportunity to express your personality and create a unique design that fits with your home decor. Follow these steps for some inspiration on how to decorate a large wall in the living room.
Select a Theme That’s Specific to Your Room
A large wall in the living room is usually where you’ll find artwork, hanging plants or pictures of family members, so think about how you want this space to be personalised for you and those who visit it often. These spaces are also perfect for displaying collections – such as bookshelves with favourite reads or TV memorabilia from past generations.
Get Inspired by Other Rooms!
If there’s a style in another area of your home that inspires you, bring some elements into the living room for a cohesive look throughout the home. This could include anything from furniture upholstery colours (like green) to lighting fixtures (such as pendant lights).
Hang Art High on Walls
You can get away with higher, bigger pieces that make a statement on the wall if they’re hung high enough. Experiment with height by mounting artwork in various ways: horizontally across two walls or vertically against one wall for more of an artistic look.
Use Bold Colours
Pair bold colours and patterns together to create a sense of depth and contrast in your living room space. This is especially true when you have furniture upholstered in different shades – like navy blue couches paired with light green armchairs or pillows. An easy way to blend these colours is by using soft furnishings; think about mixing textures (such as cashmere blankets and cotton sofa cushions) for interesting looks throughout the home!
Use floor-to-ceiling curtains to make the space feel even larger and more open. Choose a colour that complements your existing decor, whether it be neutral tones or bright colours like lime green.
Hang Shelving or Floating Shelves Near Windows
It’s a great way to showcase art, collectables and your living room television. To make the space feel bigger, put smaller items on shelves and larger items in open spaces – such as large pieces of framed artwork or family photos in one area.
Use Mirrors to Make Living Room Walls Look Wider
Take this tip with a grain of salt if the room is already small; you don’t want furniture and other decor (like potted plants) being reflected as well! A living room mirror can be very useful for creating the illusion that the space is bigger than it really is. Fill unused wall space with accessories like hooks, picture ledges or cabinets. Overhead storage can be useful for living room items that are used often; they’re also just pretty to look at.
Decorate the Living Room Ceiling With Lighting
When you’ve got a living room TV, it’s important to have good lighting – but don’t forget about overhead lights too! Try installing chandeliers or sconces high on living room walls for a decorative touch, fixtures that can light up the space without shining in your eyes.
Add Some Greenery
Having living plants in your living room is great not only for decoration but also to promote fresh air and natural light. If there isn’t enough space in the living room for living plants (either because of size or lack of sunlight), consider bringing indoor plants into another area like the living room; living plants can be placed on living room shelves or floating shelves near the living room windows.
Add Living Room Artwork to Ceilings
Large canvases can make an ordinary living room look extraordinary, as long as they’re hung in the right spots in the home! Consider high spaces like living rooms where guests will see them – and if they’re visible from a first-floor living room window, even better! Living rooms are great for displaying children’s art too. A tip: choose thinner frames that fit against living room walls instead of wider ones that take up more space; this technique is especially helpful when you don’t have much wall space to decorate with artwork at all.
