Decor using frames and mirrors
Buy several photo frames without glass from the store, which you can quickly and without losing decorative properties remove the back part. Choose frames taking into account the main design direction in which the apartment is decorated.
If it’s a classic, then choose products made from noble wood; if it’s Provence, let there be white frames, and if it’s , then frames will do. different shapes, but the same color, or similar shape, but from different materials.
White frames on a blue background
Unobtrusive decoration
Frames can be placed on the wall in a chaotic manner or drawing any shape, for example, they can go down diagonally, form a square, circle or rum.
Combination of empty frames and mirrors
Frames can be filled
Empty frames will create additional volume and make the room more comfortable. If the room is small, then mirrors can be placed inside all or several frames - their reflective abilities will visually enlarge the space. Similarly, you can use mirrors without frames with a self-adhesive backing. Stylish frames you can do it yourself, for example.
Jewelry from scrap materials
When going to the country or for a walk in the park, take a closer look at the cut branches. They can make original wall decor in your home.
Bushings left over from toilet paper, it also makes sense to use them; they make beautiful voluminous jewelry, which, after dyeing, is impossible to recognize as unnecessary garbage.
Cardboard bricks can be made white or red, and if desired, it is easy to give them an aged look or give them the tone of Provence by painting them with white paint.
Soft decor made of fabric and leather
Strangers are rarely allowed into the bedroom, so here you can indulge yourself non-standard methods wall decoration. At the head of the bed, they look great made from flat pillows made of fabric, faux fur or leather. If the room is decorated in rustic style then don't be afraid bright colors and rich colors.
For classic interiors noble fabrics and leather are more suitable, and for oriental ones - brocade and pillows embroidered with stones. Pillows can be attached directly to the wall, but decor hanging on cornices will look much more impressive. You can also use this idea if you need to decorate a heating pipe.

Decorative elements made of paper
Paper not only endures everything, but is also ideal for DIY wall decoration. Such luxurious interior can be created using corrugated or papyrus paper. It’s easy to glue the finished flowers onto double-sided tape.
You can also use colored paper, tracing paper and even napkins with beautiful patterns.
If you know how to make or, then feel free to use these crafts for decoration - you definitely won’t have such decorations among your friends or in the store!
Plates on the walls - an original approach to the kitchen
If your kitchen doesn't have room for cabinets with glass doors in which you can display your dishes beautifully, use a free wall for this purpose. However, to implement the idea, it is recommended to purchase separate plates, since you will no longer be able to use them for their intended purpose.
If you are using plastic plates, decorated or painted, you can simply glue them on. Glue ceramics and glass only to tiles and only with proven glue. The safest thing to do is to drill holes in them and screw them, and carefully cover the screw heads.
Using ready-made vinyl stickers
If you don’t want to use scrap materials to decorate your walls, buy ready-made interior stickers. Three-dimensional images look most impressive. For example, a sticker in the shape of a window not only decorates, but also visually enlarges the space of a small bedroom or kitchen. And if you find a place for a vinyl window in the bathroom, you will be able to get away from the enclosed space and fulfill your old dream of a bathroom with a window.
Images of alleys stretching into the distance, endless sea spaces, fields and meadows with endless horizons.
Keep in mind that vinyl stickers are not suitable for textured walls, but they are not afraid of moisture and can be easily removed from the surface without leaving marks.
As you can see, decorating walls with your own hands is not so difficult, but very interesting!
Decorating an apartment depends on the taste of its owner or hostess. Original decor The space allows you to make it cozy, beautiful and makes you want to return there again and again. Creativity in the interior of a home can tell a lot about the owner.
You need to decorate your home only with what you know. Otherwise, it is possible that in the apartment there will be a beautiful tambourine hanging on the wall to call the dead, attracting negative energy.
Types of decor
Before you start making decor with your own hands, you need to prepare a small sketch of what you want to see. Types of decor differ in the surface of its placement: floor, ceiling, walls. Most often decoration is done on the walls. Nowadays, ceiling decor is limited to the shape and image of the stretch ceiling.
Decor ideas can be very diverse. These can be various stencils on the walls, shelves, vases, mosaics.
Various photos of wall decor will help you choose the best sketch for your room. And even if you don’t have any skills, they will tell you.
Walls
Usually the walls in an apartment are like a canvas for an artist. By using your imagination you can not only decorate them, but also make them more functional. Now, in most cases, we have wallpaper on the walls, 1-2 paintings and possibly a TV.
You can decorate the walls during the renovation stage. The design should be applied to wall finishing material that has not yet dried.
This is usually done with special sticks and is called a creation - a fresco. And if something epochal is depicted, but in a minimalist style, you can always cover it with wallpaper.
If you still decide to place some kind of design, we recommend using stencils for decoration. With them, any errors are excluded and the result is visible in advance.
Vinyl stickers can be used. The main thing is that the wall is smooth, so that there are no lumps.
The sticker can occupy either a small part of the surface or a large one. You can group and use several of these stickers and it will work out complete picture. It can be added with various shelves and inserts, and interior items can be placed on the floor that will be in perfect harmony.
Decor is as important as the arrangement of furniture and functionality of the apartment. Do not forget that guests come to you and you may be considered a tasteless charlatan.
We have already talked about several stickers on the wall that make up the picture. If instead of stickers you attach various objects that become a single picture, then this can be called a mosaic.
At construction work Various decoration elements, such as an aquarium, can be planned and built into the wall. Or deliberately leave a niche.
More and more often, people are decorating their walls with laminate. This is becoming increasingly popular due to the availability of various colors of the latter. And it opens up great possibilities for imagination. More often it is an imitation of wood, possibly aged.
Drawing
If you stop and decide to apply a drawing on the wall, then for this you will need putty, paint, a pencil, and a brush. And most importantly, don’t forget to make a template according to which you will draw everything. Instead of a brush, it may be easier to work with a roller or spray gun.
Pay attention to the quality of dyes. The higher it is, the longer the decoration will last. You can choose materials that can subsequently be washed, or after applying the design, they can be varnished.
If you need to apply several identical shapes, then for greater accuracy it will be easier to make a stencil. It is best to first make the entire drawing on the wall with a pencil, and only then paint it with a brush.
Sold in construction stores textured rollers, they can give your wall a unique look.
Wallpaper
Wallpapering remains the main decoration of the wall. They come in a variety of prices and are suitable for every pocket. Some designers use different types wallpaper, alternating them with each other during application.
I would also like to highlight the photo wallpaper. At correct application they make up a single drawing, and not alternating sketches, as in simple wallpaper. The whole difficulty lies in adjusting the joints so that differences are not visible.
Bath
Wall decor in the bathroom is not limited to wall and floor tiles. When used in the bathroom various materials decor, it should be remembered that this is a room with high humidity.
More often, bathroom decor is made with some kind of functional purpose, for example, towel hooks in the shape of a sea anchor or a steering wheel.
The main thing when decorating your home is not to overdo it and not to make it so that after some time you want to do repairs again. If you are afraid, you can hire specialist designers who will help you choose.
Use environmentally friendly materials in finishing and do not forget about fire safety. After all, decor includes various types and types of fireplaces.
If there is a staircase in the home, then on the wall along the length of the steps, family photographs from years of life look very good. It's very symbolic and beautiful.
Also, various things that remind you of wonderful moments can become decorative elements. For example, a vase, which, during vacations at the sea, is filled with sand from the beach (on many beaches the sand is different) and a layered picture is obtained.
Photos of wall decor
Everyone wants to see their home stylish, original and beautiful. The hall is the center of any apartment and country house, often serving as a living room for receiving guests. To simply decorate the wall in the living room with your own hands, you can hang pictures, plates, and clocks on it. But these are all the little things that are intended for the final decoration of the interior. There are many more ways to decorate the walls in the hall.
Three general rules for decorating walls
First and foremost, the wall decor should be in harmony with the style chosen for the living room. Even if “fusion” or “eclecticism” is chosen, the harmony of all components should not be forgotten.
Second - large decorative elements draws attention to itself. But an excess of them will visually reduce the space of the room, while a few small ones will only expand it. Large “spots” are preferable to use for zoning.
Third - “strips”, “strips” should be used with caution. They don’t fit “art deco” at all. Vertical ones raise the ceiling, and horizontal ones, on the contrary, push the walls apart. To minimize these effects, it is necessary to select non-contrasting colors for adjacent stripes and make their boundaries somewhat blurred, flowing from one to another. And to enhance it, on the contrary, you need a contrast in relation to each other or a strict limitation of their number on the wall.
Niches, built-in shelves and stands for wall decoration in the living room
For modern design all kinds of wall niches are already a common practice. Previously, they were more used as places to place various figurines, books, vases, and photographs. Today these are completely independent and complete stylistic solutions. Each style has its own niches: arched, rectangular, stepped and many others.
And in combination with lighting and flowing onto the ceiling, they allow you to transform the room, giving it exclusivity and originality. This is also an effective and simple way to zone a living room.
There are two methods color design niches in the wall of the hall: contrasting and close to the shade of the main surface. It is recommended to paint them in a more light tone than the rest of the wall. Otherwise, the recess will turn into an unsightly black hole in the middle of the room. If you are still planning a dark solution, then it is best to choose bed colors (lilac, peach). This will smooth out the contrast a little, and the niche will attract a little less attention, while remaining a kind of dominant feature in the room.
Decorative painting is an affordable, simple and exotic way to decorate a wall in a living room
Fancy ornaments, a branch of barberry or lilac, landscapes, individual images in the center of the wall and drawings over its entire area - paints, imagination and the ability to hold a brush allow you to realize everything with your own hands. Originality, originality and uniqueness in design will be guaranteed.
A more simplified option for those who do not have painting skills is to decorate walls using stencils and interior stickers. With your own hands you can create complete artistic compositions in floral, abstract, geometric and ethnic themes.
For those who want to stand out, more exotic ways of decorating the walls in the hall with paints are more suitable - painting with luminescent luminescent dyes or creating three-dimensional paintings.
Monochrome images made from the same paint in different shades look good on the wall.
Decorative stucco and moldings on the walls in the living room
The decoration of walls with stucco elements is a typical feature of “retro”, “empire”, “renaissance”. And moldings will find a place in almost any style. You can create entire wall bas-reliefs and decorate interior elements (mirrors, lamps, door and window openings). Suitable for this finished goods from plaster or plastic and made independently from dry gypsum mixture.
For plain walls ideal option there will be molded textured panels and elements of various shapes. They can be painted in more bright colors, making accents on the wall.
Imitation of brick and stone masonry - freshness and originality or an attempt to return to the roots
There are many finishing materials to imitate brick: plaster for decoration, ceramic tile, plastic or wallpaper. You can always choose the most convenient one for decorating “brick” walls yourself. It will look like ordinary clinker, but will not clutter up the room.
It is also possible to completely “brick” the entire surface of the wall and highlight its individual sections (from the floor to the middle, around windows or doors, outlining columns). Decorative brickwork Suitable for “loft”, “high-tech”, “country”. In some situations it will refresh and complement the interior, and in others it will become the main theme of wall decoration.
Another variation of brick decor is a rocky layer of decorative stone. This design guarantees the living room sophistication and style, and it will also slightly soften the severity of the lines in the hall.
LED lighting in the decoration of the hall walls
LED strips and Spotlights– this is an undeniable novelty in decor, which has a wide palette of colors in all shades of the rainbow. Compact and invisible lighting equipment allows you to embed it in the most difficult places, outline various shapes, highlight equipment on the wall or niches in it.
Professional designers love this decorative element. It makes it easy to fill a room with soft lighting, highlight any area in the room more bright light and create a directional glow that will visually expand the walls or raise the ceiling.
DIY decorative fireplace against the wall - affordable luxury in the living room
We are not talking about inviting a professional stove maker and building a massive fireplace. It is enough to choose its electric model, since the choice is now extensive. And then put it against the wall and create a single decor, organically fit it into general style hall Many people call the fireplace the “heart” of the home. Decorating a wall in the hall in this way is easy, and as a result, a unique atmosphere of comfort and family well-being will be ensured.
All of the above allows you to decorate the walls in the hall in the most different styles. You can use one of these methods, but it is best to combine several. You just need to look at photos of various options, turn on your imagination and start independently implementing your ideas in your own living room.
