Today, we offer another journey into the world of home design. Discover the modern wall decoration ideas to pick up some tricks to boost any room in your home.

Larger Than Life Work of Art

Oh, yes! If you’re looking for luxe accents, nothing spruces your walls better than a large-scale painting, drawing, poster, or any other kind of artwork. Using oversized art, you’re going to make a huge statement in a room. Pick a single, bold piece that speaks to you and make it the focal point. The good news is that any plot works if it matches your room’s color palette, from B&W photos and abstract paintings to portraits of your family members.

Mix Styles!

A lot of homeowners browse modern wall art ideas and always stick to one design style. Stop! If you’re lucky to own a large and bright living room, be open for experiments. Feel free to pair a vintage velvet sofa with a rug that hooks with its whimsical patterns. The same rule works with the artworks. Blend modern art with vintage frames or soft accents like wood with industrial elements like metal. This technique is a source of character that shows your unique individuality.

Put Wallpaper…on the Ceiling

If you are searching for living room modern wall decoration ideas that help wow guests, how about this: add a dramatic touch to the space using spruce wallpaper. However, do not put it on the walls! Instead, put wallpaper on the room’s ceiling. Just like that.

Get Adventurous

Don’t feel like experimenting? Luckily, some simple and time-testing ways to update your room exist. For example, world or regional maps are powerful pieces to make living rooms stand out. Not only will the map serve as an anchor for your room, but it’ll also become the channel for expressing your lifestyle as a globe-trotter.

Get Floor-to-Ceiling Shelving

The good news is that modern home decor ideas aren’t limited by paintings and wallpapers. Maximize every inch of the wall in a living room by installing a huge floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. It’ll serve as an accent wall filled with all your books, souvenirs, framed photos, art, pottery, and the rest of fancy-schmancy keepsakes. A quick tip here: arrange books by color.

Modern Wall Frame Design

If you’re ready to display all of your photos, choose thin and metallic frames in black, silver, or gold. These hues will add a sleek, contemporary look to your living room. Plus, to highlight photos and art, you’re welcome to use shadow-box styles or floating frames, both making any setting more sophisticated and adding depth. Different frame sizes and orientations can be easily mixed (break the rules!) to create a visually engaging and dynamic display. 

Add Interactive Elements

Gorgeous and practical interactive elements will 100% add to the list of contemporary wall decor ideas! For instance, you’re welcome to use chalkboard paint to turn part of your living room’s wall into a chalkboard. Then, based on your mood, you’ll draw whatever comes to your mind and replace it with new masterpieces at any time. 

Interactive digital displays, in turn, will let the vibes flow like no other! Digital screens or interactive projectors show digital works of art that blend perfectly with your interior design. Consider getting interactive art installations that can be made in response to touch, sound, or movement. There’s no better way to enliven your setting than with kinetic sculptures or light shows that can become an incredible focal point!

Manifest Your Fur Love

Bring out your inner cat parent decorating style with a wall-mounted pet house! It’s a great way to adorn your walls in a modern and unusual way and save some floor space. The best thing is that pet houses can be handcrafted from different materials, from plastic and fabric to classy wood. Plus, they can be designed to flawlessly blend with your interior.

Breathe Life into the Room with a Vertical Garden

The good news is that today’s modern wall decor ideas go beyond the indoor environment. Bring a touch of outdoor nature into your home interior with a real vertical garden! Pick easy-to-care-for greenery. It can be succulents since they require little water, spider plants (their air-purifying qualities rock!), fern varieties (thrive perfectly in indirect light), and herbs like mint, parsley, or basic that are both functional (yum!) and decorative. To add a pinch of charm, use stylish pots, containers, and baskets for the floristic décor. We recommend hanging vertical garden elements by a sunlit window to have a comfy corner and add sunshine to the setting.

The unspoken motto of our EnjoyHome is: the personality is in! In other words, there’s always room for your tastes, passions, hobbies, etc. Do not be afraid of mixing old and new wall decor ideas to create a cozy atmosphere and make your interior an easy topic of conversation.
