Wall of fame!

Wall isn't just a wall it is your own canvas, blank canvas. If you consider that the simplicity is the best policy in case of wall, then rethink because having a cold blank wall shows your dull personality.  Everyone wishes to have a beautiful home. You can add drama to your space and for that you have to be little creative.
I have lots of ideas to share with you.  
First of all select the wall that is focal point of your place. Now you can adorn your wall with number of elements like...

Wallpaper
Using wallpaper is the easiest way to give a texture to the wall. Choose light colors if you have small rooms. If you want to create an accent wall then wallpaper on just one wall can create that perfect look.



Wall Cladding
Another idea of having a textured wall is wall cladding. Cladding is use of  material like wood, fabric and metal on wall, right from the floor to the ceiling. Wood is elegant and classic cladding material. Other cladding materials are fabric, metal, coconut husk or anything interesting around you.

Shelves
Shelves not only change the look but can solve purpose of storing some stuff or showcasing your accessories too. Shelve enhances the beauty of wall dramatically. 




Wall Hanging
You can use fabric, quilt, tapestry or any other cloth that is no longer in use but you just can't throw it away because of its beauty. You just need to be bit creative while using all these.



Framed Art                                                                                                                                              Use framed art work in interesting way to give your wall a warm and pleasing look. You can use single art piece or can create a gallery wall. Pictures can be your family photographs or art work done by any artist or your little one.
