Decorate a Wall With a Circle Mirror
A star quality, circular mirror could take center stage in a curvaceous wall grouping, if you employ the right “supporting cast.” In decor, odd numbered collections of like objects make a bona fide style statement. Scavenge for spherical items already in your house or from home decor and antique shops. Keep the objects somewhat dissimilar for visual amusement. Producing a unified wall collage requires only that you have a style preference and some placement knowledge so as not to outperform the circular center stage “celebrity.” Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate Adjoining Walls
You may be unsure how to decorate your home's adjoining walls, especially if the rooms are used for completely different purposes. For example, you might have adjoining walls between your living room and hallway or your kitchen and book nook. Rest assured that it's possible to decorate your adjoining walls to not only accentuate the diversity of your different rooms, but to complement each wall. Does this Spark an idea?
Cover Walls with Tissue Paper
Covering a wall with tissue paper gives a new textured look your home. You simply glue on the tissue paper, making sure to crumple it slightly before applying it to the wall. Then you can paint over the paper with a paint or glaze. The wrinkles of the tissue paper gives the wall a slightly rough texture, and the opacity of the paper adds new color to the wall.
