One of the hardest parts of a proper home decor are the walls. Sometimes these areas can extend for many square feet and it seems like you’d need a bunch of paintings and frames to fill them out. The first thing you need to know about decorating walls is that it’s not mandatory to place items on top of each and every one of your walls. The second thing to know is that there are many pieces of wall decor you can place in order to make your rooms look original and put-together without much effort. Check out these 10 great wall décor ideas to upgrade any room.
1. 3D Stencils Over the Wall
If you’re into extravagant pieces of decoration then you might be tempted to hang all sorts of items on your wall, but due to the construction and material of each wall they might not hold the heavy weight and it might be dangerous for the structure of your house. A great solution for this is to purchase or print out a 3D stencil with any design you want. It can be flowers, it can be animals, or it can even be a complete landscape that’s so realistic you’ll think you’re in the middle of the jungle right in your living room.
2. Knitted Hanging Decoration
Have you seen those old knitted carpets and decorative pieces grandmas used to place over their living room tables? Now there’s something you can do with all of those old heirlooms. You can simply place a bunch of knitted pieces and stitch them together or even pour glue over them so they become solid and hang them on the wall. Knitted home decor looks shabby yet original, it speaks of a modern home with feminine taste and a liking for delicate touches here and there.
3. Full Wall Stencil
You might’ve experienced this frustration especially if you rent an apartment or house and the landlords don’t let you nail new paintings or make new holes other than the ones that already exist. Setting nice home decor on your walls when you don’t really have permission to do anything to them used to be a challenge, but nowadays you can find the most beautiful wall stencils to stick to your walls without causing them any permanent harm. There are stencils for small portions of a wall and even stencils that cover whole areas.

Every little girl dreams about having the perfect princess bedroom with amazingly beautiful wall decor that makes their imagination fly away. If you want to create the perfect item to be on display in your daughter’s room, you can have a wall sticker printed in the shape of a big tree that covers the whole wall. As a pretty detail, instead of leaves you can place several pink petal stickers that fly freely close and far away from the tree, making them frame your furniture and accent the bedroom.
5. Little Pots With Plants Hanging From the Wall
Another great idea for people who care a lot for their plants is to purchase a special hanging device to place several little pots containing long and leafy plants.

Pots and plants are the ultimate item to bring life to a place, and they’ll even help you cleanse the air you breathe.
6. Decorative Mirror Over Your Bed
We all know mirrors are a necessary item in any home to look at yourself while you’re getting ready, but in terms of a decoration they’re one of the best items to create ample visual space and instantly brighten every room. If you’re out of ideas for wall decor you can simply purchase a mirror or even better, get a mirrored structure which is divided into different shapes such as flowers or simply smaller circles.
