Song Lyrics

Your favorite song can be more than just background music.  It can help create a statement-making backdrop to almost any room in your home.  Write the lyrics directly onto your wall, or, if you’re worried about your penmanship, type them out and have the lyrics printed onto a large piece of paper that can be plaqued or framed. song lyrics

Stripes

There’s nothing more classic than a black and white stripe - and on the wall, that combination can instantly up a room’s chic factor.  We love that these stripes help to create a separate small home office space.   stripes

Shapes

If stripes aren’t your thing, this geometric wallpaper is also a wonderful way to make a statement.  Fun, bold, and perfect for this gender-neutral nursery, we love that the simple grey tones really make the bright yellow accents pop. shapes

Pallet

Pallet walls are warm, cozy, and right on trend.  Best of all, since you can create this look with reclaimed pallet wood, they’re also relatively inexpensive.  The Saw Guy has a tutorial that walks you through how to create your own pallet wall on virtually any wall in your home.  pallet

Plates

Not sure what to do with your old china?  How about hanging it on a wall!  Creatively arranged plates can make a big design statement.  Show off your favorite flatware, and free up some much needed space in your cupboards.  Win-win!plates

Photos

A photo wall isn’t just personal - it’s also awesomely eye catching!  Whether you choose to display family snaps, vacation pictures, or your favorite album covers, arranging an assortment of your favorite photos on one wall is sure to get some attention.photos

Tiles

These patterned tiles make a big statement in a small bathroom!  The perfect compliment to the otherwise simple space, the black and white designs provide the perfect backdrop for the beautiful blue claw-foot tub.tiles

Watercolor

Bold, beautiful, but certainly not for the faint of heart, watercolor walls are a wonderful way to turn one of your walls into an original work of art!  Simply choose your favorite colors, and get creative as you paint your design.  watercolour

9. Fabric

If you like the look of different colors, prints, and patterns, but are hesitant to put any of those things directly onto your walls, fabric hoop wall art could be the perfect solution.  Plus it’s a good way for all of you sewing enthusiasts to use up some of your scraps!fabric

Large Canvas

One large photograph (or two) can be all it takes to make a big statement.  If you have a print or picture you really love, blow it up and give it a wall all its own.  Similar to artwork displayed in gallery, keep the wall color simple so that the image can really shine.large canvas
