Decorating your living room is more than adding a few cute throw pillows and kitschy accessories. Giving your wall some love would make an additional statement of class and style. Although you can simply keep the walls in a neutral shade and call it a day, there is more you can do. Quite a lot. Let’s discuss a few ways through which you can give your living room that bold and sophisticated look.
FABRIC WALL COVERINGS
It is not off-track to assume that playing with fabric only applies to clothing and window drapes. But seriously, it is not. You can also mix different fabrics to build texture and colour along your walls. This is also a great way to add a burst of colour to neutral, plain spaces. You can try this out:
Use Dowels to Drape Fabric- Brightly coloured fabrics look great hung over a dowel or rod. Consider creating a focal point in the living room using the furniture that you already have along with the fabric on the wall.
Fabric Wallpaper- For more coverage, you can create an accent wall using a fabric with unique patterns and vibrant colours. Your fabric wallpapers are best fixed using temporary glues as this would make them easier to remove and this puts the space into consideration most especially if the space is not yours.
Wrap it Around Canvas- Instead of buying a large print, consider buying an interesting fabric with a unique print. There are plenty of illustrators who produce quirky and un usual designs. These would add a bold touch to your living room.
Once you’ve chosen a design that you like, you can use a staple gun to attach the fabric to the canvas. From there, hang it on the wall to give the room some serious visual interest.
REFINED AND DISTINCTIVE WALLS
Painting your walls doesn’t mean that you need to only give it a solid coat and call it a day. Experimenting with patterns can take your living room from blah to wow. A nice chevron pattern will give the wall dimension.
Stripes will create more of streamline look along the wall. You can even take your patterns to the next level by combining two different colours to an accent wall. Be brave with your patterns. Be bold with your colours.
WALL FRAMES
