Oh, the dreaded blank wall! First of all, not every wall in your home has to have something on it. Sometimes, the open space and negative space is just as important as the space that houses something decorative, just keep that in the back of your mind.
Here are some great ideas on how to fill up that space on the wall that is just begging for an accessory.
- Keep whatever you place on the wall in balance with the size and shape of the wall.
- If the wall space is huge, don't hang one little picture, it will just get lost. If the space is small, placing too big of a piece will overpower the space and create an awkwardness.
- Consider mirrors. Mirrors are huge this year and create an openness to any space large or small
- Art is easy to do on the cheap. Think about framing calendar pictures, flowers pressed between two pieces of glass, floral arrangements, DIY canvas paintings.
- Floating shelves are a great idea to fill up a space. You can place family pictures, antiques and other collectibles on them.
- Plates!! Huge this season are brightly colored and patterned plates
- Add some molding to dress up a wall
- Stencil a pattern and let the wall speak for itself. Stencils are big and easily acquired.
