Born to Decorate – Free The Mind, Decorate The Walls

Have you ever given a thought of using a darker color as the background for wall accents? It is just the white wall that comes to mind when we decide to decorate the wall. White is boring and requires a lot of cleaning to keep it spotless. I chose to try something different…a wall that is not white for my wall decor ideas.
The red wall and a gray wall were what I found to be ideal to hang frames, wall hanging or wall decoration. The dark color on the wall did make the room appear a bit smaller until I decorated it with wall decor. The wall hanging and accents gave the wall a depth and simply made it alive.

Here are a few home wall decor ideas that you can attempt:

Wall Decor Ideas available at Viva Home Decor
Wall Decor Ideas
  • Fabric on the wall – this is what I call a scribbler for grownups. A starched fabric with something written on it like writing in a notebook and pasted on the wall. This looks good right behind the sofa in the living room or the bedroom wall.
  • Frames – mix and match frames and hang them on the wall. It can be the cozy corner, a niche or to create that feel. Use black and white pictures and break the monotony with red wall accents.
  • Books – stack books all across the wall to decorate the wall. Fix stands like they display shoes in the stores. Stack books on them. In between hang wall decor or place a small artifact or decoration piece on the book.
  • Chalkboard – a chalkboard is one of my favorite home wall decor. A huge chalkboard on the kitchen wall or the patio. This black canvas can be decorated with pictures, pin ups, hanging. Remember to keep some chalk and duster nearby for the ‘child at heart’ to scribble.
  • Dark wall – hang white frames on a dark wall and put some lights on the ceiling. This looks good in alleys at home, making the path look wider.
  • Clock – create a giant clock with wall signs on the wall. This is ideal for children’s room where you can put the signs that must teach something to your kids.
  • Driftwood display – use driftwood with wall signs, frames for the earthy look.
  • Hard top suitcases – I wonder if some of us do still have hard top suitcases? You can actually cut them and stick them into the walls to make shelves. I call it the vintage suitcase shelves.
  • Corner frames – this one is my favorite. Hang frames or wall signs on the two walls that merge into a corner. Use all different sizes of frame. The trick is to create an illusion that the corner is extended. Do this by hanging maximum number of frames at eye level on both the wall. Taper at the top and bottom of this line so a triangle is formed by the wall joint being the bottom of the triangle.

Unique wall decor idea from Halloween to Christmas!

How about decorating the walls this Christmas? Looking for something different and new to decorate the walls, just moved into a new home or you need to brighten up the room? It’s simple! Just decorate your walls with wall hangings, wall signs, home goods, photo frame or photo collage. Let the wall be the perfect canvas for your creative or not so creative ideas.
Like furniture, wall signs and accents can change the look and mood of the room immediately. When wall signs, hangings and photo frames are hung systematically, the wall will look like a piece from the art gallery, the wall of fame. When the design principles are not followed, the wall will be the perfect wall of shame.

Here are a few tips and trick to an arty wall

  • As a thumb rule, the width of artwork should be 0.57% of the width of the wall. For example, if the wall is 4 feet wide, the artwork should be 4 X 0.57 = 2.28 feet wide.
  • If you are grouping the art work, treat it as one cluster like you would treat a single piece.
  • Use the museum approach to decide the height where the wall decor has to be hung. It should be 145 cm from the floor plus half the length of the painting.
  • When hanging multiple pieces in a room, consider the walls, windows, doors and furniture. Hang the art at a comfortable eye level and In relation to what is already existing in the room.
  • For hanging art behind the sofa, it should be 2/3rd the width of the sofa and about 15-20 cm above the sofa top.
  • If hanging some wall decor above the fireplace, maintain the 2/3rd width, but hang the art 10-30 cm above the mantle depending what you are placing on the mantle.
  • On the dining room wall, place the frame or wall accent at a lower height as it should be comfortably visible while sitting.
  • My favorite is hanging pictures and wall signs along the staircase. Use the same museum approach.
  • Plan the layout by colors, size. You can use the grid method or the modern method where top and bottom border line is maintained while the vertical line can be crooked as different sizes of frames or signs are used.
Don’t let the wall intimidate you. Find the best collection of wall signs and photo frames at viva home decor.

Home décor accents comes in the form of blocks that can be placed on any table top. With different words written on each block, you can arrange the blocks in the order that you want. The bigger blocks can be placed in that niche in the house where nothing else can be placed.
How to install wall signs :

Wall signs need to be mounted on the wall. The wall is made of different material which requires different treatments. It is of prime importance to install the sign safely and sturdily.
  • The surface should be smooth and clean
  • Normally a wall sign is hung 60 inches above the floor
  • If the sign is near the door then it should be about 2- inches from the door jamb
  • If there is no wall available near the door, then push the side on the adjacent wall

Methods to install wall signs
  • Use an adhesive tape to install the sign on the clean wall. Remove the adhesive backing and press on the wall for 30 seconds
  • For a straight level installation, make sure you mark the wall before you drill the screws. Drill, insert proper anchors then fasten the sign on the wall
  • To provide extra stability for heavier signs, use silicone sealant along with the back adhesive tape
