Creative and Unique Home Wall Decor Ideas to Add a Personal Touch to Your Space

Go Large

When you’re looking to make a powerful statement with your décor—your best bet is to go oversized. A big print of your favorite editorial image or mammoth color-block painting will command attention and give even the smallest space some personality.

Keep it dramatic and classy with a monochrome photograph or splash color across your space with an abstract tableau.

Look to House of Spoils and AllModern for larger-than-life artwork.

Home Gallery

Show off your personality with a dynamic gallery wall. These curated displays include a  mosaic of artwork of varying sizes, creating an interlocking effect that elevates an ordinary space to appear like a gallery or museum. To make your wall appear fresh and original to your point of view, design from a place of intention. Collect favorite imagery and artistic styles, which speak to you and impart a sense of joy to the room. Frames-wise, you can choose a minimal approach or blow it out with ornate, palatial frames that show your dramatic side. 

And if you’re looking for a gallery wall to add even more appeal for you—keep in mind that these walls can also give the impression of a bigger space. Design outside the border of your targeted room to give the optical illusion of a more spacious living room.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Another great way to expand your space is to include mirrors. Mirrors’ reflective nature helps even the smallest space feel bigger and brighter.

Find swaths of wall space to display these shining pieces in your home. From atop a mantel to thoughtfully placed high on a living room wall, a mirror adds a bit of high style to any space. 

Try the Ricki Bamboo Mirror, in a beachy style and circle shape, or the Teresa Vintage Mirror, in a chunkier medium size or a full-length size, from Lulu & Georgia. 

Go for Green

When designing for indoor decor, your larger-than-life touches can extend beyond the 2-D restrictions of your walls. Think green. But also think plants, like those that can live beyond your window sill. Your green friends can reside in large, free-standing pots right by a window to stretch their fronts—thereby giving your room an indoor forest aesthetic.

Another clever trick is hanging plants from your ceiling by using planters with hooks.

Further, if you would prefer your plants at your eye line, choose wall-mounted planters to contribute to a three-dimensional design scheme, creating a bountiful “living wall” in your home.

Don’t Forget the Actual Walls

Finally, lean into the options for not just your walls’ hanging potential—but the walls themselves! Wallpaper and paint are two great ways to make a bold design statement in your home, without involving hooks and mounting contraptions. Go bright with your color choice with paint. For instance, a delightful accent wall can create a new “wow” factor. Get creative and eclectic with your wallpaper patterns. Like your art collection, find quirky designs and doodles that reflect who you are and make you smile. 

Another pro tip? Don’t forget your fifth wall—aka your ceiling—in your design!
