10 Ways to Jazz Up Your Walls

Tired of looking at the same old walls? It’s possible to redesign and restructure your home without the hefty price of typical remodeling endeavors. Even just adding a fresh lick of paint to your walls, perhaps with the help of someone similar to Aaron Timoffee Painters of Saskatoon, for example, can make all the difference when it comes to brightening up your home. This is just one of many different ideas your could try. If you’d like to add a little color to your dwelling, here are 10 ways to jazz things up.

1. Mirrors

Mirrors add the illusion of space, so they’re an easy and inexpensive alternative to, say, knocking out a wall. They’re also useful if you want to distract your guests from a half-finished project or renovation: No one can walk past a mirror without checking their own reflection!

2. Rugs

In addition to protecting your hardwood floors, a few rugs will add color and vibrancy to the room. You’ll also have the freedom to re-arrange them whenever the mood strikes, unlike carpet.

3. Beaded Curtains

Add a bit of flair to your doorways with a set of beaded curtains or LED lights. It isn’t just for hippies! Click here for inspiration and ideas.

4. Framed Photos

Break out the family albums and find your favorite photos. Then, for a small fee, have them blown up and glossed at a local print shop for ready-made portraits that will look great on your wall. Alternatively, look for posters online of your favourite things. For example, if you are a comic book fan, check out Harley Quinn posters, or whatever character you like, and get one framed! Having this on the wall will really make your space personal.

5. Wall Art

Anyone can throw a new paint job on the walls, but few take advantage of the personalization wall art. How about hanging a memorable day? Sounds weird right? It means you can get star maps of your special days, be it your birthday or anniversary or any other memorable occasion, and hang them on your wall. They showcase something meaningful and look very classy on a wall.

6. Chandelier

Don’t quite have the funds to remodel your entire dining room? Replace the overhead light with a chandelier and you’ll change the atmosphere of the entire space. As a bonus, it’s all your guests will talk about, too. Alternatively, you can check out these wall lights to give your space the extra light that it needs, without having too much going on from your ceiling. Either way, adding different lighting will really change up your space.

7. Hanging Items

With a few hooks from the home improvement store, you can transform a dull, drab wall into a centerpiece of modern design. Hang your mugs in the kitchen; hang your purses in the hallway; hang your old records in the den.

8. Throw Pillows

Perfect for the couch that sees a lot of company, an arrangement of lush, fluffy throw pillows will be welcomed by everyone who sits there, especially if you have fun with quirky shapes and designs.

9. Flowers

There are a number of potted plants, like peace lilies and snake plants, that require little-to-no maintenance and will instead just sit and add variety to your home.

10. Candles

Fill the room with wonderful fragrances with a collection of candles. Not only will they make the place smell like waterfalls and fresh gardens, but they’ll look classy burning on the mantle, too.
