1. Textured Wall Paint (make an accent wall)

Two toned walls or accent walls covered in a different shade of paint was quite the trend a few years back. But now, designers are including cool and dramatic textures to elevate the aesthetic appeal of the textured walls. Painters use rollers, brushes, sponges, or trowels to create textures on walls. You can go for a dual toned textured wall in which the base is in a lighter shade and the textures are created with a slightly warm shade. Using dual tones will create a nice contrast and make your wall pop out. And if you are using a warm shade such as orange, use a metallic colour like copper or gold for accent walls. 

2. Tapestry for Walls

A tapestry refers to textile art which was traditionally handwoven on a loom. Coloured weft thread or embroidery is used to draw designs and intricate patterns. Now for wall decor, you don’t have to find a handwoven tapestry (which can be costly). A readily available tapestry on online stores will do the trick for you. These tapestries are available in both large and small sizes. The large one can cover a considerable space of your wall and is often tucked behind the bed’s headboard. The smaller ones are suitable as wall hanging, filling in empty space and adding colours. 

3. Shelf it out (shelves for art pieces, books)

If your empty wall has windows or limited space to flex your creativity, fill space on the bare walls using shelves. It’s a simple yet an effective way to utilise space. Using wall shelves not only gives space to flaunt your favourite books and art pieces, but also enhances aesthetics. You may choose whichever material that is affordable and convenient to use. Although wood and metallic wall shelves are strong and sturdy and have a solid lifetime. Store your favourite showpieces, memorabilia, live plants, etc. on these shelves. 

4. Vertical Wall Hanging Pots 

There are many homeowners who have limited space for keeping potted plants on the floor. What if they want to incorporate greenery indoors without placing some huge pots? Simple, use your bare wall and install vertical hanging pots. These vertical pots, by design, use less space and give enough room to a plant to grow. Create your indoor garden and use all the plants that control indoor pollution. These hanging pots are available in different colours and look aesthetically pleasing. 

5. Mirror, Mirror on the wall 

Mirrors on the walls not only reflect space but also give an illusion of a bigger room. It’s another easy way to fill in the space of empty walls. The ornamental mirrors look especially amazing on the walls of a living room or even a bedroom. There are hexagon mirrors, round mirrors, wooden and metallic mirror options that you can choose from and decorate your blank wall. Depending on what vibe you want, incorporate a modern, seek and stylish mirror or a traditional mirror with a slightly rustic look. 

6. 3D Wallpapers for Walls

Bring drama to your walls with easy to apply peel and stick 3D wallpapers for walls. There is no need to worry about empty walls when wallpapers exist. Available in a variety of textures, designs, colours, and patterns, wallpapers fill in the empty space and give a new dimension to your room. The 3D design, whether it’s an abstract look, a magical forest, a world map or waterfall, looks eye-catching when put up on a wall. The only thing you need to check is how much space you have to put on a wallpaper. 

7. Wall Paneling for Minimalist Look 

If you want a minimalist look on your empty wall, using wall panelling is an excellent way to bring in design and colour. The vertical, horizontal or diagonal sleek lines add a second layer of design to your walls and give the perfect minimalist look.
