Often, after completing a renovation, we find that we have one or more empty walls that simply require some kind of decoration. The question immediately arises - how to decorate the wall. There are many different ways. Moreover, the beauty of wall decorations is that most of them can be easily removed and replaced, thereby changing the mood, and sometimes even the style of the room. First, let's look at how to decorate a wall correctly, from a design point of view.
Design approach
Almost everything - modern, hi-tech, minimalism, etc. - suggests light, plain-painted walls. The design turns out to be light and unobtrusive, but after a while you want something brighter, some accents. AND The best way add these accents - decorate the walls. Smooth and smooth, they serve as an ideal background.
Panels and collages
The easiest way is to make a wall panel from identical small fragments, paint them in colors close to the main one, or play with one of additional colors, already present in the interior.
Simple panels look good in any interior
Collages are suitable for wall decoration. They can be made from photographs - from a personal album, celebrities, natural or city landscapes, animals, birds... whatever. Reproductions of paintings are also suitable, even just multi-colored fragments covered, for example, with companion wallpaper.
If the style of the room is closer to pop art or any other avant-garde movement, choosing the right theme, and the color design of the collage is more difficult. This is closer to art than just design. As an example, you can play with images or reproductions of avant-garde artists in different colors.
Moreover, it is far from necessary to make holes in the walls for each frame. The solution can be borrowed from galleries: hang a cornice - regular or string - under the ceiling, and attach wall decorative elements to it with a thick fishing line. Changing the exposure in this case is a matter of several tens of minutes.

Triptychs
Since ancient times, walls have been decorated with triptychs, only paintings were used earlier. You can paint walls today, but it requires considerable talent. For those who have had trouble with painting, there is another option - divide the image (photo) you like into several fragments and place it on the wall in this form.
The method is simple, but gives an interesting effect. And to make everything look more voluminous, make a base for each fragment. You can use thin wooden slats, you can upholster it from fiberboard, even thick, even cardboard, cut out pieces of insulation - thin foam plastic.
You choose the style of the image and the predominant color based on the general style of the room and the shades available in the interior. It is not necessary for the image to consist only of these tones, but the primary colors must be present. This is the only way to connect the wall decoration with the rest of the design into a single whole. If you can't find a suitable image, you can use a black and white photograph. It also looks very impressive. Only with photographs the frames should be almost flat - pieces of hard, thick cardboard and that's it.
Decorate the walls with photographs
In general, the idea of decorating a wall with photographs adds personality to your home. Even strict, cold minimalism becomes more cozy. If you're tired of the coldness of your home's decor, add a few photos, framed or unframed, and you'll immediately feel the ambiance feel warmer.
Moreover, you can hang photos on the walls using the same principle - on fishing lines attached to a baguette under the ceiling.
Decorating with wood and stone
If you consider wall decoration as something more global, stylish and permanent, you can turn to materials such as wood and stone. This will already be a stationary decor that you are unlikely to be able to quickly change. But the degree of decorativeness is an order of magnitude higher.
Volumetric wooden wall- stylish decor
You can brighten up the gloom and coldness of the stone with warm-toned lighting. The fragments do not have to be even; the “torn” edge is even more interesting from a decorative point of view, but is very inconvenient from the housewife’s point of view - it’s difficult to clean up.
Living decorations from plants
The living decorations on the walls are very unusual. These are the so-called “green walls”. Living plants are planted to some extent. They're getting picked up different colors, species, with different leaf shapes. You can make such a composition in the form of a picture in a frame, with mandatory lighting. Just remember to water the decor regularly...
Green painting made of plants - unusual way wall decorations
It's a little easier to create compositions from climbing plants. They are planted in a long container, a fishing line is tied, and the lashes are distributed along it. Properly selected plants look great. The only negative is that the “decor” takes a long time to grow.
We make wall decorations with our own hands
There are many ideas for decorating walls in a room that are easy to implement on your own. The most popular, perhaps, are stickers or stickers. There are many ready-made ones that just need to be glued, but it’s not always possible to find exactly what you want. But you can always do what you dreamed of with your own hands.

It’s very easy to make three-dimensional wall decor from colored paper. Only it must be double-sided - the sheets must be painted on both sides. You will also need double-sided tape, and also a pencil, scissors, maybe cardboard.

Decorating a wall with butterflies is cute and unexpected
If we are talking about butterflies, then they need to bend their “wings”, leaving a straight body. Glue a small piece to the body double sided tape(remove for now protective covering only on one side). This Velcro can be used to glue the decoration to any surface.
These colorful butterflies can be used to create pictures. The main thing is the idea and the desire to implement it.
Flowers are made using the same principle from the same double-sided colored paper. Moreover, simple daisies look more graphic as decoration than more complex ones (poppies, roses, etc.). Having cut them out, the petals are slightly bent, and Velcro is glued to the middle. The result is a voluminous decoration.
Paper wall decor - voluminous flowers
Another romantic option- hearts. They are also cut out of paper, only the cut is made deeper. Then, by connecting and gluing the cut part, they add volume to the decor. They are attached in the same way - with pieces of double-sided tape.

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 - 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.
Secondly, large decorative elements attract attention. 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 decisions. 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 of color design for 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 lighter 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.
Looks good on the wall monochrome images, from the same paint of different shades.
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). Both ready-made products made from gypsum or plastic and those made independently from dry gypsum mixture are suitable for this.
For plain walls, the ideal option would be stucco textured panels and elements of various shapes. They can be painted in brighter 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. The compactness and inconspicuousness of the lighting equipment itself allows it to be built into the most difficult places, outline various shapes, and illuminate 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 with brighter 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 fitting it into the overall style of the room. 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.
