What to Do With That Blank Wall: From Boring to Stunning
If you can visualize a blank wall as a canvas where you can unleash your creativity, then there is no way that your home could have boring walls. An artistic mind can easily make blank walls burst to life, thus, making a house a home and not an impersonal or sterile place. The walls of your home can serve as a place for your decorative accessories. They can even be a place where you store some stuff.
Blank Wall Decorating Ideas
- If you live in a place where rules prevent you from permanently affixing decor on the walls, then you should consider the washi tape pattern. Your dorm or apartment will never look boring again once you use different patterns and colors with your washi tape. If you get bored with the initial style that you used, then just switch to another look. It’s as easy as 1-2-3.
- Even the smallest of areas such as an entryway or a nook will look more exciting when something exciting is placed there. Why not have ornamental sconces installed on the walls? These will instantly add that needed sparkle in a usually dim hallway or corner.
- If the walls of your kitchen need sprucing up, then go ahead and frame your favorite photographs. Hang the frames on your new kitchen photo gallery; this is something that your friends will enjoy looking at. This is also something that will spur conversations during dull evenings.
- Speaking of frames, you can also frame old maps and use them as framed art on your blank walls. Destination spots such as Paris or London will be interesting maps that you can hang on an otherwise uninteresting wall.

Still on framed stuff, why not hang framed chalkboards? These are not just decorative pieces but they can also serve as a spot to write your messages to family members or where reminders can be posted.
- An alternative to chalkboards are corkboards. You can use one wall to install your corkboard on and right beneath it would be your workspace. Just like the chalkboard, the corkboard will serve as a holding spot for memos, photos and cards.
- A mirror is also a powerful statement piece that you can hang on a blank wall. Notice how the beautiful mirror balances the American Cherry drawer from FFDM (feature photo). Smaller spaces tend to look much more spacious when mirrors are installed. Fill a gap on the wall by hanging a fine-looking mirror.
- Decorating an empty staircase wall is as easy as hanging rustic wood baskets. Check out some rustic pieces in our line of accessories to beautify this part of your home.
- Wallpapers can be quite tedious to install so if you feel that it would take much time to have a room installed with this wall cover, then just opt for the easier option – make a photo collage. Cover a single wall with family photos. This will be a beautiful alternative to a painted focal wall.
- Blank walls can also be the place for shelves to rest against. Some shelves, especially when carefully chosen, can add character to a room.

And what is a living room wall without an eye-catching clock? A clock can be a lovely piece of artwork and an elegant accessory that can serve as wall decor. An expansive wall should have an oversized clock. Look for designs that convey a timeless elegance.
- Dress up empty walls by putting wall decals. Bare walls will be automatically transformed into chic canvasses as you apply colorful wall decals.
- Wall-mounted candleholders will also look great on a bare wall. Flank or separate them, it all boils down to your preference. One thing is certain – that blank wall will never be unexciting again.
