If the very idea of styling a large wall gets you overwhelmed, think of it this way: the process can (finally!) reveal your creative skills and make a wow statement in a room. All you have to do is think a bit, browse Pinterest-worth ideas for inspiration, and (if possible) approach an expert for a piece of advice. Done! Sooner than you know, you will be able to recast a dull wall into a meaningful and personalized spot. But before you dive into the creativity river, check out some tricks from the Enjoy The Wood team on how to decorate a large wall and stay sane.

Mirrors Are Always a Good Idea

If you wonder how to decorate around a large wall mirror, it is one of the tools famous for perfecting any home interior by providing a more spacious feeling. Since we’re dealing with a large “canvas,” you’re welcome to infuse a large-scale mirror into the interior. In this case, it’s up to you to decide on the type of décor. You can go for the leaning floor mirror or a conventional above-the-sofa reflecting surface. Pick an antique or vintage mirror adorned with modern or vintage frames. Every family member (from big to small) will appreciate an opportunity to check themselves out.

Hang a Larger-than-life Art

This one will 100% appeal to those pondering over how to decorate a large wall in living room.  If you have a lot of space to fill but don’t feel like measuring and planning, go for big pieces of art. Not only will you instantly create an attention-grabbing focal point in a room, but you will also change the ambiance in the room in no time. In this case, only your taste is the limit. You can select an oversized photo, painting, poster, or map, as well as add aesthetics with the help of mixed textures and colors.

Tip: Budget is also something that should be kept in mind. No need to worry if you can’t afford costly artwork. A photo displaying the memories you cherish or art you crafted yourself will become a beautiful piece of décor showcasing your unique personality, above all.

Bring Wallpapers into Play

Don’t know how to decorate a large wall in bedroom with tall ceilings? Use a wallpaper to create an accent. An oversized motif or pattern will not only hook attention immediately, but it will also add more space and immersive ambiance.

Tip: If you aren’t ready to go for a permanent solution, we recommend using peel-and-stick wallpaper. It rocks if you live in a rented apartment or aren’t ready for radical changes in the interior’s décor.

All the homeowners racking their brains over how to decorate a large wall above couch, rejoice! Together with the EnjoyHome team, we know by self-experience that the focal point in the form of bookshelves is one of the winning decorating ideas for a large wall. Available in various types, styles, and sizes, bookshelves are excellent space savers. You will (finally!) have all your collection of treasures in one place and create a stunning centerpiece that can enliven the most neutral space.

It's Alive!

Natural greenery never goes out of style. If you are seeking solutions for how to style a large wall and bring some nature in, a living plant wall will be a hit. Looking purely and aesthetically pleasing, this indoor ‘landscapes’ create a focal point and a conversation starter while combating air pollution (thus boosting the air quality). Just imagine how they will release oxygen while you’re busy with the latest gossip from your friend!

Lean, Don’t Drill

If the living room is not the only space with a large dull wall calling for some sophisticated décor (and you are probably thinking of how to decorate a large kitchen wall or that ‘canvas’ in a kid’s room), give yourself the flexibility and freedom to change or relocate your art without the necessity to drill ugly holes every time. Instead of mounting a piece of décor, consider leaning it. Ease the process by installing ledges that will help you display any piece at any height without damaging the wall.

Mount a…TV

If you prefer to stay away from hard ways, make a room a conventional entertainment space by mounting a good old TV on a big wall. Not only will you take up much space (so less décor is needed!), but you will also have a comfy space for family or friends’ get-togethers. How to decorate around a TV on a large wall? Easier than you think! Frame the TV with works of art you created, your munchkin’s crafts, shelves, or any other elements that will adorn and personalize the space.

Tip: For a clean look, we recommend you hide all cords using a cable management system.

Beautify with a Map

The world maps are better than any other type of décor when it comes to filing a big, empty wall. Not only visually gorgeous but also educational, these illustrations of the world can fit any interior’s style. You can pick a modern or vintage, black-and-white or multicolored, artistic or precise geographical map to satisfy your aesthetic tastes. To make it an interactive piece of décor, we recommend getting a pack of pins to track your past and pin future voyages.

Install an Indoor Climbing Wall

If you’re looking for ways to add some fun and a pinch of uniqueness to the room, install a climbing wall. The idea works well in really large settings like playrooms, living rooms, etc. Families with kids will appreciate such a fantastic ‘décor’ as it’ll make little ones get off the gadgets and move while adding dynamic ambiance to the environment.

Add an Industrial Look

…by mounting a bicycle! It will look absolutely odd, but the trick is that such items as surfboards or bicycles add an extra character to any room, cover the dull wall, and personalize the space.

Tip: Take care of safety! Items like surfboards are heavy – your task is to mount them securely.  

Infuse Guitar Aesthetic

If you’re a huge music fan or just a guitar geek and collect them for fun, display your collection on that blank wall ASAP. In such an unusual way, you will have your instruments easily accessible and your wall stylish and adorned. This trick will surely work magic in music rooms, large living rooms, and home/office music studios where a touch of melomaniac is lacking.

Tip: Follow your aesthetic preferences – display instruments either symmetrically or asymmetrically. Feel free to add vinyl records or concert posters to add more music vibes and heighten your space’s uniqueness.
