From gallery walls to chic monochrome canvases, paintings reign supreme as the go-to wall decorations.
However, for those seeking something more unique, there are plenty of unconventional ways to display art.
What wall decoration to replace the paintings? There exists a plethora of alternatives to dress your walls and give your space personality. We have picked our favourites, let's get started.
Mirror, mirror on the wall...
Think of the mirror as your new best friend when it comes to shaking up your wall decor! Not only does it make your space feel bigger, but it also amps up the light, making everything feel brighter and more open.
And the best part? Mirrors come in all sorts of styles, from round ones to those with funky organic shapes or cool wavy designs. They add a touch of elegance and softness to any room, giving your space those beautiful, graceful curves.
Ambiance, ambiance...
Lighting fixtures have the power to completely change the vibe of a room, giving it that extra touch of character and charm. One of our absolute favorites is the sculptural bamboo wall light.
Not only does it illuminate the space beautifully, but it also doubles as a stunning decorative piece. Swapping out paintings for these beauties? Genius! They can truly become the focal point of the room.
Fan of a Rétro look?
Think about bright wall decorations, which advantageously replace frames in an 80s-style bedroom or in a kitchen inspired by the iconic American “diners” of the 50s.
Macramé with a twist
Macramé wall decorations have had their time in the spotlight, but now it's all about wall tapestries! These beauties come in a range of sizes and styles, including small models that are perfect for jazzing up the space above a console or desk. They're a fun and easy way to switch up your wall decor game!
Cozy Walls
The trick for a cozy living room or bedroom is to increase the number of rugs. We adopt them to dress the floor, obviously… but also to dress the wall!
Baskets on walls
Baskets and plates made from plant fibers are part of the emblematic decorations of the bohemian style in general. If this look tends to run out of steam, this type of wall decoration retains all its appeal. We adopt them for example in Afrofusion interior, in association with ceramics or a nomadic carpet to create a cohesive look.
Wooden Wall Art
This year, subjects lead the way. And we are increasingly seeing wooden paintings replacing traditional painting canvases. Wall panels do not necessarily have a very conservative format, and this season we are falling for organic models, which allow us to create pretty compositions.
Green walls
Adding some greenery can truly breathe life into any interior! For your indoor plants, consider using hanging planters or pedestals. Another great idea is to utilize your walls by hanging beautiful ceramics in place of traditional paintings.
Wallpaper
What if instead of hanging wall decorations on the wall, you had fun decorating them directly? Colors, materials and patterns: everything is possible to give character to your interior!
Panoramic wallpaper has become a classic in wall decoration. Landscapes, XXL floral pattern, non-figurative fresco: it offers a dizzying choice of designs. This covering with a (very) large format print is also a smart solution for visually enlarging a small living room or small bedroom.
Decorating your walls is always an exciting opportunity to express personality and style while enhancing the ambiance of the space. Creative techniques such as gallery walls, statement murals, and unconventional materials, transform blank walls into captivating focal points that reflect the home's individuality.
Whether you opt for DIY projects or seek inspiration from professional designers, the key is to let your imagination soar and embrace the endless possibilities that wall décor offers.
So, let your walls become a canvas for your creativity, and watch as they breathe new life into your home!
