Light fixtures to dress up an empty wall

Indeed, in addition to their obvious use for the atmosphere of your home, these lamps can be designed and dress your wall, in addition to completing your decoration. There are wall lamps in all shapes and colors, so it’s up to you to find yours! If you want to avoid a complex installation, you can also opt for curtains of garlands, or even, ribbons LEDs.
Paintings to decorate the walls of a house
To decorate a wall, you can of course, hang frames. These can be arranged individually, or provided for the addition of several paintings. The color, thickness, size or material of the frames depends above all on your tastes and the rest of your decoration. The same goes for their content: there are many possibilities. Photos, drawings, paintings… Scratchable posters, like this world map, are also intended to allow you to follow your adventures!
Hang plants on the wall, or make a green wall
Another way to dress up the empty walls of a house is to put plants on them. There are several ways to hang plants on your walls:
- Installing wall shelves, or a plant ladder,
- The creation of a plant wall,
- The installation of a wall plant bag,
- Or even hanging fake plants…
Let’s not forget that plants require maintenance, and it seems important to consider the notion of practice. If you don’t have a green thumb at all, but you still want a green wall, the wall plant bag will allow you to care for your plants and make cleaning easier easily.
Shelves to put on the walls
As you will have understood in the previous section, wall shelves are also part of the elements that can decorate your walls. There are more simple than others in terms of design. Once again, shape, color, and size are varied, and you will inevitably find something to suit your needs.
In our case, we offer three designs based on wood and metal. These modern and affordable shelves will allow you to accumulate all sorts of small decorations, or to arrange your plants.
Walls dressed with patterns and tapestries
If you don’t want to drill holes in your walls, you can stick things in them. For example, tapestry, earthenware, or even mirrors. We suggest you :
- Non-woven wallpaper with tropical motifs, easy to apply and without soaking. This one can be used for a complete wall, for a fresco, a frame, or many others!
- Square stickers with a blue and white tile design. These can be cut with scissors at your convenience and glued very easily on your surfaces!
- Finally, square wall mirrors that you can combine in any shape you like. Here, the set includes 4 mirrors, but you can buy several sets, and of various sizes, to achieve the desired effect.
Other ways to decorate your walls
There are many other ways to decorate your walls, you just have to combine your desires with the characteristics of your home (space, decoration, right to drill the walls or not …). Thus, we can recommend you :
A wall mirror. Here, the mirror proposed is of medium size, but there are huge mirrors to be hung on your walls or to be placed.
These will offer you a visual enlargement of your room, and will reflect the light. Some mirrors include frames with all kinds of ornaments or decorations. Here, we propose a vintage mirror, decorated. There are much simpler, or much more modern.
The wall mirror remains a classic found in most homes, both design and useful.
Another possibility at your disposal: macramé! These can be made as a Do It Yourself decoration! They can also be bought already woven.
In any case, they complete a warm decoration. They can be thought of with plants, as hanging pot holders. They can also be purely decorative, such as canvases, and wall hangings.
Here, we offer you a set of two pieces at low prices, to test you for this type of decoration!
Among the elements that you can install particularly easily, and which will dress your walls, we find the canvas, or stretched.
These are fabrics with various patterns and colors, usually large in size. These can be installed from simple tacks, and can be easily cleaned.
These giant fabric posters exist in many forms, and they can represent abstract or precise forms, such as artists’ portraits, world maps… The big advantage, in addition to the ease of installation, is the low price!
The last possibility we propose to you, if you wish to dress a wall without sticking or drilling anything, is the principle of the wall of arrangement. To do this, simply purchase several hollow shelves that you can add together.
By choosing this type of storage, for example, you can put several forms of shelves of the same style next to each other. This way, the entire bottom of your wall will be made up of one long storage unit, to be used for knick-knacks, or decoration!
