Metal wall art can be a unique substitute for oil paintings or traditional artwork in any room of your house. Many metal wall sculptures come in three-dimensional shapes and in various colors and styles. Choose a piece that reflects your personality, your interests or matches the overall style in a particular room. While there are certain design rules to keep in mind when displaying metal artwork, the results can be remarkable. Does this Spark an idea?
Match Curtains to Wall Colors
The right curtains act as a frame for your window in much the same way as a picture frame does for a picture. They highlight the beautiful scene outdoors as well as keep the harsh light of the midday sun out of your room. To make the most of a window from a decorating standpoint, it's important to think about the colors of your curtains versus the colors of your walls. Selecting the right curtain color will enhance the walls and the window. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate a Feature Wall
In any room, there should be one feature wall that serves as a focal point. While each wall is important, the feature wall serves as an anchor for the room's design. Once you have selected the wall that will serve as your accent wall, you need to think of ways to add even more interest to this area. Paint finishes, lighting and custom trims are options.

Decorate a Wall With Picture Frames
Your walls can have a huge impact on the overall look of your room's decor because they are among the first things you see when you enter the room. Use picture frames to decorate a blank wall and display art, memorabilia, decorative paper or posters. Does this Spark an idea?
Mount a Staghorn Fern on the Wall
Staghorn ferns have broad, flat, fleshy leaves, making them a far cry from the familiar Boston fern or dainty maidenhair fern. Nearly 20 species of fern that are called "staghorn" exist in the genus Platycerium. All of them are epiphytes and none of them require soil, which gives them the nickname "air plants." In their native locales of Madagascar, Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia and South America, staghorns thrive when they grow on trees. Your staghorn will thrive if you mount it on a board or piece of driftwood, which you can hang on a wall. Does this Spark an idea?
