The Three Rules of Wall Décor
Here are three rules of thumb when it comes to deciding on the wall decor of your living room.
- Think about your overall style. What type of vibe do you want your living room to give off? Once you have an idea in mind, it will be easier to start narrowing down your options.
- Consider the size and shape of your walls. Not all decorations will look good on every wall; make sure you pick something that will complement the existing architecture of your home.
- Don’t be afraid to get creative! Add a few unexpected elements to your space, and you’ll be amazed at how quickly it comes to life.
