Empty walls in your home can stick out like a sore thumb despite the lovely decor that is placed around it. While a blank wall can be refreshing in a room full of bold colors and art, it can also be an eyesore that’s tough to tackle. Whether you call a city apartment or a large estate home, a neglected wall is bland and boring. Luckily, there are numerous ways to style and decorate your empty walls to add character and flaunt your style. If you’re having trouble filling your blank wall, here are five things you can do.

Mirrors

Known for enhancing a room’s natural light and making it feel bigger, mirrors are the perfect solution to filling an empty wall.  Effortlessly blending with any decor style, the only thing you’ll really have to consider is what kind of mirror fits you and your space. Whether it’s leaning on the wall, mounted, or large mirror wall panels, there are tons of ways to display mirrors to serve as a focal point and spotlight the room’s features.

Gallery Wall

Looking for a place to flaunt your family photos but nowhere to stash them? Consider a gallery wall. Gallery walls are a curated collection of art. This will allow you to introduce character and pops of color while showing your personality in any room through more than just framed photos. Think about memorabilia and paintings—gallery walls also allow you to implement new layers of texture and dimensions. Arrange your art in a way that best fits the space and you. There are no rules, and when you’re ready to refresh, simply add or take away art and reposition it again.

Floating Shelves

Another way to display your personal knickknacks, sentimental decor pieces, and family photos is through floating shelves. Mount these shelves on your blank wall and watch how your space takes a turn for the better. They’re visually appealing and create a homey and cozier feel. You can also add plants, small flower vases, and more. Keep in mind that you should select shelves that marry well with your current decor for a nice blend.

Oversized Wall Art

If it wasn’t an obvious choice, oversized wall art is the easiest way to spruce up a bland wall. Whether the art comes in a set of three or is one giant piece, it brings the space together and gives your home personality.

Bar Cart or Wine Racks

You can drink and live in style when you add a bar cart into your life. Available in multiple sizes and designs, you can find a bar cart small or big enough to fit in those cozy spaces.  Add bar-inspired photos, quotes, or lists of your favorite cocktail recipes.

Mounting wine racks along your wall will also free up much-needed space and allow you to flaunt your wine collection to guests who visit.

Unique Lighting

Every space needs a little lighting; adding this aspect will illuminate those dim spots. Floor lamps or wall scones will instantly contribute to adding style and setting the mood.
