5 Easy Wall Decoration Ideas for Small Apartments

by Jeremy Thompson Web Marketer

When you have limited space, decorating a small apartment can become tricky. The key is to ensure that you achieve both style and functionality, while storing all of your belongings in an organized manner. The wall is a large blank space that offers numerous possibilities to add decoration. From textured paintings to wall decals and art, the options are endless.

This post outlines five interesting and easy ways in which you can decorate and spruce up the walls in your small apartment.

Large paintings

A beautiful painting that covers a majority of a blank wall can become the focal point of the room. Choose a work of art that complements the colours dominating your room. A perspective painting of a landscape, for instance, using a gradient technique,creates a three-dimensional effect. The room appears more spacious than it actually is. Also, choosing a large painting means you will not require additional accessories to balance the overall wall decor.

Mirrors

When strategically placed, mirrors are both beautiful and functional in making the room look bigger and brighter. A single ornamental designer mirror is the perfect option and can also double as wall art for the room. Opt for oversized mirrors that are opposite to a window or any light source to reflect maximum light. A cluster of smaller mirrors also works wonders provided you create a unique arrangement that is appealing to the eyes. Avoid overdoing mirror art if you prefer understated decor, as they can add too much bling to the room.

Wall art sculptures

If there is a section of the wall that’s left bare, consider installing an appropriately proportioned wall art sculpture in that space. They’re versatile and can be made from anything and everything, and you can even make one yourself. When choosing a store-bought option, take into consideration the colour and textures that are the primary focus in your apartment and match them accordingly. It’s also important to install wall art at the right height from a place where it can easily draw attention.

Floating shelves and racks

When you don’t have sufficient floor space, floating shelves can become the best solution for storage and displaying your collectibles. If you have an impressive collection of hardcovers, a floating bookshelf in the living room can add a touch of sophistication to the place. Simple racks protruding from the wall can feature your favourite showpieces, music CD-collection and hold gadgets like the Wi-Fi router and DVD-players. They are versatile and can hold anything you wish to display, while making the most of your bare walls.

Corkboard collage

Using a cork board to display random notes and photos, is an artistic and practical approach to apartment decoration. The surface material has a warm texture and adds dimension and style to your space. At the same time, you can pin anything and everything ranging from frames, Polaroid photos, reminders, doodles, and to-do lists on the board. This creates a beautiful presentation of ideas and colours.

You can impart a picturesque appeal to your small apartment by playing with wall decor. As the canvas for various ideas, it can also serve as additional storage space depending on how you use it. Paintings, murals, wall sculptures and floating racks, are a few things that add to the appeal of your home.
