Looking for new ways to update your living room wall decor? The size of the room, existing theme of decor, colour palette, fabrics and textures present and your budget will decide the best wall decoration ideas for your living room. The first rule is to always respect the proportion of the walls. For larger spaces, it is best to use larger art pieces; huge artworks flanking an entire wall looks quite grand in large and spacious living rooms. However, if the room is small, stick to small artworks and paintings. Putting up a huge painting in a small living room can make the room look disproportionate, smaller and more cluttered rather than beautify the area. There is so much variety to choose from when it comes to living rooms. Wall decorative items like paintings, photo frames, wall decal designs, wall hangings, mirrors and even 3D art pieces are options. Candle wall decor is another idea – here candle holders in interesting rustic designs can bring in an element of interest to the wall. Also, leaf wall decor is another popular choice. This works very well for living rooms with a lot of windows, as it literally lets you bring the outdoors inside visually. If you have a small wall, choose closely packed leaf designs in lighter green shades whereas for a larger wall pick a variety of different sized leafs with interesting patterns and many different shades of green. When it comes to updating the look of your living room, you can also use wall decoration crafts like wall hangings, oil paintings, block printed fabrics, wall papers and even designer clocks. However, if the room is small and the artwork pieces you like are slightly larger, you can still use them with a little creativity. First of all, hang the wall decor only on large walls; choose the centre and put up the artwork and ensure that a lot of wall is still visible. This wall can be coloured in an accent colour, a colour chosen from the painting/artwork itself will look best. Let this be the only artwork in the room that brings in any colour and if at all you need decoration on other walls, stick to light fixtures and mirrors. For your new colourful wall decor to look good, ensure that they follow the same colour palette as the rest of the room. For example, a blue textured wall looks elegant when you also have a blue rug under the coffee table and have pastel blue cushions on the couch. Similarly, if you are going to use wall decals, make sure that they are inspired by the decor theme. Use leaf wall decor if you have a very eco-friendly decor style or use geometric patterns like square wall decals for a contemporary living room. Also, a few basics need to be kept in mind – for smaller rooms use a variety of pastel colours and use something in a dark shade only to create a focal point. Darker shades of colour will make the room look smaller. If you have neutral colours all through the living room, you need to pick colourful artwork to bring in some vibrancy and colour to the walls.
