Wood slats

Watch
A built-in clock, the size of which should be no less than half the width of the sofa, will look original. Wall clocks look catchy and bright, drawing the eye to the dial. A non-standard solution for decorating the wall behind the sofa.
slate wall
A slate board is a great helper in the hallway or kitchen. However, in rooms with limited space it may be difficult to position the board.
Some people are simply afraid of clothes painted with white chalk.

Your personal banner
You just need to dip a piece of fabric into the dye - let it dye unevenly and leave charming “wrinkles” - to get a wall banner. Draw or embroider on it something that really matters to you.
Mirror decor
This is a functional way to decorate your home interior and visually expand the space. Carefully place mirrors on one of the free walls and you may notice how the room has visually expanded.
In small rooms, a painting or poster weighs down the interior. And the mirror will become an effective accent.
Give preference to mirrors with complex shapes and elegant frames.
With them, more dynamics enter the interior. Consider the shape of the products:
- Round suitable for home environment,
- Softens the interior and gives comfort to the room;
- A strict form is promising for office space,
- Represents business style.
Hang a mirror
One large mirror above the sofa will visually increase the space and add air. Especially if there is a window to the right of it. But that is not all!
From mirrors, just like from paintings, you can create a composition. Make it a hobby or a quest. For example, spend a weekend visiting antique shops in search of an antique mirror. Or let your friends bring them to you from travels instead of magnets and plates.
Picture frame
An empty frame on the wall is a hobby for designers from Western countries. Although this trend is not yet popular in our country, it is worth diversifying your home interior with new creative solutions.
- You hang an empty, beautifully framed frame on the wall, and inside it you put the original “filling”: elegant inscriptions, a collection of business cards, a luxurious calendar, etc.
- Using several frames of different sizes and shapes, it is possible to create an original geometric group. Applicable in bedroom, living room or bathroom.
Patterned fabric or batik
Beautiful fabric does not have to be used for cushion covers; it can also be used as wall decor. It could just be a favorite repeating pattern or a real work of art painted on fabric. By the way, it can also be a beautiful neck scarf. Hanging this decor is very simple - using adhesive tape or sewing thin sticks into the lower and upper parts of the canvas.
Lighting effects
The best way to visually expand potentially small spaces. Using a light wall, the free space is not cluttered with lamps or chandeliers.
Ready-made backlit panels will diversify the room with additional colors and lift your mood in an instant.
Geographic Maps
An unusual option is when they use one canvas or an option consisting of three or four sections. Looks good with or without stretchers, with or without backlighting. For the interior of the room, a different world map is used.
home garden
Organizing a large home garden in small spaces is problematic. You can’t just take up and occupy the entire floor in one of the rooms.
But if you do this, it is unlikely that you will be able to use the premises for your own needs in the future. However, you can arrange a garden on a vertical wall.
Such a living carpet ideally hides the imperfections of any wall and fills the room with a pleasant aroma. However, take into account regular care of green pets.
Houseplants
A wall decorated with fresh flowers refreshes the room and will become an original decoration of the room decor. Country style looks great with hanging flower pots in flowerpots made using the macrame technique.
