How to Bring Personality to Your Walls: Kick Boring to the Curb

Congratulations, you’ve finally finished assembling your beautiful home and completed it with all the precious objects that brighten your space. All that remains is a big blank wall staring at you – a true Catch-22 situation for the homeowner. 

But, don’t get frustrated as a blank wall might be the beginning of something new. It gives you a clean slate to start from and fill the space with things that mean something to you. If you’re not sure how to go about it, here are some creative ideas for filling that extra wall space.

Try Canvas Paintings by Aurora Art

People like to have at least one canvas painting in their stylish homes because of their versatility. This means that they will continue to look wonderful for years to come although your design tastes may evolve. When looking for these classic and timeless art pieces that go well with all décor styles, nothing beats the lovely Aurora Art canvas prints.

The mother-daughter duo Lani and Zara behind the Aurora Art brand manages to create bright, contemporary art pieces that express joy and happiness, with designs inspired by their varied cultural origins. The secret behind the diversity of their paintings is that although they share similar tastes, they work individually as both artists use different techniques when painting. 

The Aurora artwork is a combination of brushstrokes and a delicate, feminine colour palette, with culture and family at the forefront. Its smooth surface and textured canvas wave will enhance the visual appeal of your décor. Made with premium quality materials, your Aurora canvas painting will last a lifetime! 


On the other hand, paintings framed behind glass or printed on glossy paper can look gorgeous, but in spaces with a lot of light—whether natural or artificial—the shiny finish can generate glare and reflections, preventing you from seeing the painting as it was meant. Aurora Art canvas paintings have a satin-matte surface that makes them ideal for displaying images in highly lit rooms.

Turn Your Wall into Your Favourite Travel Destination

If you are someone who wants to travel a lot, then you can easily turn your wall into your favourite destination. Everything is acceptable when creating the traveller wall. This is a wall that can form over time, so don’t feel obligated to finish it all at once. It can evolve and change with you, as you gather items such as postcards, maps, concert tickets, posters or stickers. 

Having this in mind, pin up whatever you’ve collected on your travels or in your everyday life! Menus, newspaper clippings, textured papers, cards, letters, and fans – the possibilities are unlimited. For example, you can even mount a fallen branch and embellish it by wrapping it with coloured thread – just feel free to experiment and be creative!

Go Bold with Accent Walls

A large piece of artwork can appear flat on its own, which is why you should add something else into the mix. To prevent this décor disaster, try something tall such as a large painting leaning against the wall to heighten the room. To add depth and dimension to the space, place a pendant light over a stack of books or a vase next to it. If you’re running low on space, swap the chair for a stool or ottoman for a similar effect.

On the other hand, you can easily draw attention by placing distinguishing architectural components on your blank wall. Delicate details of flora, wildlife, themes, and folklore extracts from Burma, India, Indonesia, Morocco, or Turkey can be painstakingly etched onto doors, windows, and wooden panels. 

A single piece of a conventional, large-personality painting can also provide vintage grandeur to a blank wall. They look well as a backdrop for dining rooms, living room walls, and headboards over beds.

Express Your Feminine Side

Feel free to express your feminine side by adding an organic artwork with neutrals; browns, pinks, creams and soft greens with black in moderation colour pallets. Here, you can add to your wall whatever you like, palms, baskets or everything that pops to your mind and screams organic. You can also layer your favourite print on paper for adding some texture. 
Another great idea to create an organic, feminine wall is to include intriguing pages from books and periodicals. Hang necklaces from hooks for a ‘grand millennial’ look, or try caps or striking pieces from your closet.

Get Creative with Rugged Walls

If you’ve found a rug that is too beautiful to walk on it’s time to put your hands up! Woven, knotted, rugs that feature beautiful textures, complicated designs, and bright colours, can be the perfect wall art you’ve been looking for so long.
A floor ornament on a wall will also pique the interest and impress guests. Similarly, story-telling indigenous or ancient tapestries are excellent conversation starters. Exquisite silk rugs are likewise in high demand as draperies. Additionally, a patchwork quilt or a tasselled blanket can also be a unique wall hanging. 

Go All in Green

Set the tone for your modern home décor with pockets of greenery that are not only visually appealing but also bring fresh fragrances! With the world accepting nature, a green wall is a “blooming” option for a blank wall.

Plant a few climbers in a trough at the foot of the wall and allow them “creep up” to cover your wall in a lush green jacket. You can even add some grass or floral plants to add depth and colour to these creepers. Simple wall-mounted planters or more elaborate hydroponic systems can be used to include them. 

However, it’s best to consider all sides of your wall before committing to a living one. And, if you don’t have green thumbs, today’s imitation alternatives are so leafy and plump that anyone will hardly notice the difference!
