10 GENIUS WAYS TO DECORATE A BLANK WALL 2.0

by - November 17, 2021

 



1. USE YOUR NOOKS AND CRANNIES

 Make the most of your space by adding artful touches to every square inch of your home—literally. While the area above an archway often gets overlooked, the owners of this Mumbai home incorporated a botanical mural, hand-painted by Prashant Miranda, into their attic.

 



2. PLAY WITH PROPORTIONS

 Large frames, or small? Why not choose both? Designer Hubert Zandberg upped the visual interest on this wall in an opulent Tuscan villa by experimenting with frames of various sizes, a round mirror, and equestrian accoutrements.

 



3. SEEING DOUBLE

 In the dining room of this Milan abode, the table is complemented by two oil portraits and antique plates. Though the matching configurations create the illusion of symmetry, the subtle difference offers the right amount of visual intrigue.

 



4. A METALLIC MOMENT

 Want to make your bare walls shine? Take a cue from Samuel Amoia, who covered a girl’s Manhattan bedroom in a metallic wallcovering from Calico Wallpaper. He rounded out the room with eye-catching pendants from Tom Dixon and an iridescent rose plaster.

 



5. ADD A WORKSPACE

 If you’re looking to make your WFH office a permanent fixture in your home, consider installing a wall-mounted desk. In this Baltimore loft, designer Laura Hodges offset the crisp white walls with a sculptural floating workspace.

 



6. AIM FOR THREE

 Grouping artwork is a surefire way to make a big impact in a room. Here, three Andy Warhol pieces add personality to Hamptons dining room designed by Brigette Romanek.

 



7. A BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPH

 Sometimes less is more. A black and white photograph by Malick Sidibé serves as a focal point in Patricia Greene’s Upper East Side living room.

 



8. HANG IT LOW

 Hanging art low can make it even more impactful, especially in a high-traffic area like an entry. For a Miami Beach getaway, designer Lee F. Mindel opted for a vibrant piece to complement a sleek console table.

 



9. CREATE A STATEMENT HALLWAY

 In addition to being sheathed in mattress ticking, event planner Bronson Van Wyck's Manhattan hallway features a selection of black and white photographs that bring the space to life.

 



10. INCORPORATE SYMMETRY

 Looking for a way to experiment with the principle of symmetry? Hang a large-scale piece of artwork directly above your console, then set a pair of table lamps on top. It's a failsafe approach to inject personality into your space.
