Simple and effective solutions for decorating a white wall
Often in decoration, simplicity is our best ally. And when it comes to injecting personality into a white wall, wall decor classics prove very effective.
The most obvious solution to highlight a white wall is of course to use frames and paintings. The challenge is to choose them well. In this living room with a very Pop spirit, we opted for a canvas which sets the tone and which serves as a common thread to mix the colors and patterns throughout the room.
For a graphic and minimalist style, you can prefer a Line Art style painting. Black and white photographs create a very elegant aesthetic. To succeed, don’t hesitate to think big by adopting an X(X)L frame format.
The shelves allow you to display beautiful books, ceramics and decorative accessories: all elements which help to give maximum personality to a white wall. The trick is to focus on sobriety so as not to visually overload the room. We therefore adopt white or transparent shelves… or even both at the same time!
The wall of frames, and its brighter alternative the wall of mirrors, have become essential in terms of wall decoration. Both work wonderfully on the white wall. This immaculate backdrop, however, allows you to show a little more imagination, creating a mix and match composition. Don’t hesitate to add hanging objects or golden ex-votos.
Nothing is more effective than green plants to highlight a white decor! To give character to your white wall, think about vines. Very trendy, Pothos is ideal, because it grows rather quickly: great for quickly greening your wall!
If you have adopted white to create a peaceful and bright atmosphere in your home, you probably do not want to embark on an extravagant wall decoration. No matter: opt for a monochrome decoration by adopting a relief canvas.
Decorative wall: which decoration for which room?
To decide the best way to decorate a white wall, it is always smart to take into account the specifics of the room.
In the living room, we have fun with the colorful furniture. You can adopt, for example, the pink sofa or the blue sofa, very trendy this year, or fall for a painted wooden sideboard – one of the key pieces of folk decor. This colorful piece will immediately catch the eye: to enhance the wall, consider combining it with an original wall decoration.
The large mirror is rather practical in the entrance. On a white wall, however, it lacks relief. The good idea? Add a pretty wooden bench or banquette.
Coat hooks are essential in the entryway. On a white wall, they transform into real wall decorations. Choose wooden models for an organic look or colorful hooks for a more playful style.
Spruce up the white wall of the bathroom: this is not always easy… especially if it is tiled! In this case, opt for colored joints. Easy to make yourself, they always have a small effect.
The pegboard is a rather smart solution for having a well-organized workspace. It’s also a perfect ally to spruce up the white office wall and give it a little character.
The kitchen is a special room: we would like it to have style, but it must also be practical. To breathe personality into a white wall, let yourself be inspired by these shelves: one has a practical function, while the one at the top is more reserved for decoration.
In the bedroom, put on the headboard to create a “wow!” effect. »: hang a very colorful ethnic rug, and your very plain white wall radically changes its personality!
A bold decoration to enhance the white wall
A white wall is a bit like a canvas allowing creativity to run free, and it invites you to experiment with original decor.
The fresco is one of the big trends of the moment. Don’t really feel like you can paint it yourself? Don’t panic: there are kits made up of different elements, allowing you to easily create your own decor.
Diverting wooden cutting boards as wall decoration in the Cottage Core kitchen is quite classic. Using them to dress up the white wall of a stairwell is already more unexpected. Of course, you have to dare it, but you are sure to make an impression.
Playing the shift card, without overdoing it either? We’re trying our hand at a micro Ikea Hack using a coat hook like a wall frieze in the living room. This is enough to wake up a white wall. And it’s also an original way to hang your frames and paintings!
