Decorate a Long Kitchen Wall With No Windows
Whether your kitchen has windows or not, the type of decor you use can make the difference between a space that's inviting and a space you want to avoid. Many kitchens open to a common living space, so they can enhance or detract from the rest of an interior. When you have a long kitchen wall with no windows, you have a blank canvas. No matter what your decorating budget is, there are plenty of ways to brighten the room. Does this Spark an idea?

Make a Wall Hanging Collage
Creating your own wall collage gives you the opportunity to be creative and add an attractive image to your wall. A collage is a compilation of pictures or items that appear in the form of one big image and draws the viewer’s attention because of the diversity of its various components. Making wall hanging collages is an effective way to cover a bare spot on a wall in a potentially interesting way, rather than simply hanging a single picture or poster in that area.

DIY Zebra Wall Decor
Among the beautiful patterns found in nature, the distinctive black-and-white stripes of the zebra are one of the most striking. While scientists can’t agree on why zebras have their stripes, decorators easily concur that the bold, irregular stripes give a dramatic appeal. Paint zebra stripes on a wall using painter’s tape and any two contrasting colors. Remember that dark paint colors can be difficult to cover later, so paint your zebra stripes over a layer of plain wallpaper. This way, you can simply remove the wallpaper for future redecorating projects. Does this Spark an idea?
