Textured walls can transform a room, adding a sense of depth and contour. Textured walls can make a room feel like you're in an ancient palace in Europe or in a dusty adobe home in the southwest, depending on the texture and color schemes. However, like all types of wall decor, you can get tired of it. While textured walls might seem permanent, you can scrape off the texture and start over with a new type of adornment for your interiors. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate a Living Room Wall With Stone
A stone wall can complement any decor. Because it is a natural material, no two stones are exactly alike and the combinations are endless, making stone one of the most versatile choices for interior walls. A stone wall creates a natural focal point in your living room, whether it functions as a backdrop for furniture and art or enhances a fireplace. The relaxing sound of water splashing in a rock fountain adds a Zen touch to any home. Plan a living room stone wall that reflects your style. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate a Bedroom With Red & White
Red is a bold color that is often associated with passion, danger, blood, fire and other powerful forces or emotions. Decorate your bedroom with red and white to invoke excitement, or because the color combination soothes you. Red is a strong decorating color, although its effects depend on the exact shade you're using and the meaning red has for you. Red and white decor can work for contemporary or traditional bedrooms, depending on the shades of colors you use and how you use them. Does this Spark an idea?
Install a Wood Wall Decorative Trim
Decorative trim for the wall adds a classic and elegant look to almost any room in your home. Also called chair railing, trim going through the middle of the wall was historically used to protect the plaster walls in the small dining rooms of old houses. When guests were done imbibing, they would back their chair into the wall, cracking the plaster where it hit. Chair rails lined the room so that when guests bumped into the wall, they did not mar the plaster. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate With Invisible Wall Ledges
Invisible wall ledges, also called floating shelves, appear to float on the wall with no support structure visible underneath. The object of decorating is to create a cohesive environment that is pleasing, welcoming and comfortable. If an object in a room is too unusual or appears to defy gravity, this object may actually detract from the cohesive blend of the room. To reduce the invisible support issue to a curiosity the shelf should appear to be equally balanced with smaller objects of art. This silently informs the guest that the shelf can hold the weight of objects, and allows the viewer's attention to move on to other parts of the room. Does this Spark an idea?
