When was the last time you updated your walls? Maybe you painted them a decade ago. Or perhaps, you went all-in on the shiplap trend a few years ago, and after a year at home, you realized your style is evolving. Now is the perfect time to freshen up your walls and give them a makeover.
Here are five tips on how you can rethink your wall decor in 2021:
Explore Tile Walls – Often, a room’s walls are the first thing that catches a person’s eye. While painting your walls is a great way to keep your home fresh, it requires a lot of maintenance and touch ups every few years to keep them in pristine condition. If you want something slightly easier to maintain, consider tiles. Tile comes in a wide range of materials, applications, patterns, and designs. More importantly, they’re easy to clean, durable, and exude a look of luxury. When it comes to tiles, you have complete creative control over how your walls look.
Incorporate Rattan Decor – One of the most on-trend materials in 2021 is rattan. Though you can easily invest in rattan furniture, incorporating it on your walls is unique and simple. Rattan is derived from a vine-like palm plant and is a natural material that is durable and flexible for home decor. It can make your home feel earthy and cozy. Some ways to incorporate rattan on your walls is with a rattan-wrapped mirror, a wall shelf, or hand-woven wall decor.
Become a Plant Parent – Plants breathe new life into a home—literally—so incorporating a wall of greenery will be sure to revive your space. No matter your design style, there are plenty of wall-mounted planters, so you’ll be able to find one that suits you and your home. If you don’t want to mount the plants to your wall, you can get hanging baskets filled with greenery instead.
Hang a Tapestry – Tapestries aren’t just for your college dorm room. Embroidered or printed tapestries are a fun way to add a pop of color or a pattern to your walls. They can help make a space feel warm and inviting. And they’re an affordable way to cover a large blank space on a wall. Make sure you choose a tapestry that complements the rest of the items in your room. You want it to feel intentional and not like an afterthought.
Put Up New Shelving – Although hanging new shelves may seem like a minor project, it can significantly impact your walls. The key is to choose pretty and ornate shelving that catches the eye. On the shelves, you can showcase accessories, collectibles, or plants. It’s an easy way to add some of your personality to the space and make your walls unique.
Using these tips to spruce up your walls can instantly transform the space. Whether you’re completely changing the appearance or simply adding a rattan framed mirror or greenery, there are plenty of ways you can enhance your wall decor this year. Contact us today for your design consultation!
