Five Non-Boring White Wall Ideas For Your Home

One of the most exciting activities while setting up your new home is deciding the colours for it. Bold sharp reds, burnt oranges, and sunflower yellows are some of the most popular shades that urban homes sport today to project a vibrant atmosphere. But perhaps you are different in your predilection for muted colours. Especially, good old white.

Contrary to popular thinking, white need not be boring at all. Paired with the right decor, accessories, and most importantly, wall decorations, white can transform your home into an elegant and classy space. Here are five creative ideas for those beautiful white walls in your home.

Immortalise your favourite quote

White walls are perfect canvases. What better way to use them than featuring your favourite quote? Take a few lines from an oft-read poem or your go-to movie. Choose something inspirational to wake up to. You can make decals, print it on art paper or make a custom wallpaper. Or have fun by using stencils and painting them or etching them out yourself! Get it in the colour that matches the rest of the decor. Or pick a classic jet black or an iron grey to get that sleek and chic look.

Make it your memory corner

Remember those old photo albums with white paper and plastic sleeves? Go in for a fun vibe and use your white wall as your very own open-air photo album.

Get photos printed in small square sizes and stick them on white cardboard matching your wall to get a Polaroid effect. You can mix and match colours if you like too. Write the memory behind each photo in a few words and stick them on your wall. How wonderful to walk into the room and be surrounded by lovely memories!

Feature your favourite art

Love Cezanne? Or Rembrandt? Or perhaps a contemporary artist? Let your wall feature one of their bigger paintings. Putting up a single, big artwork in the room makes a statement about your tastes, and it also livens up your room in a huge way. Don’t fret, you don’t need to shell out tons of money to get your favourite art in your room.

There are many sites that will print any artwork the way you want, on the paper you want, and even frame it for you. Browse, select, order online, and then just sit back and see the effect on your room!

Reflect your room

The colour white already gives a feeling of spaciousness to any room. Expand on that by adding a full-length mirror to your wall. Go for a mirror that’s fixed to the wall or, our personal favourite, for a free standing one. Get one with a matte gilt edge or slightly ornate filigree work for that pop-out effect. Now, this is one idea that adds charisma to your room and also has a function of its own.

Show off your collection

Floating shelves are one of the best things since sliced bread. They have an enduring flexibility and no-fuss factor going for them, and they look the best against white walls. Mix up a few colours to add a splash to the room or keep it sedate with plain blacks or browns. Most importantly use it to show off your collection of pretty much anything. Books, miniature cars, indoor plants, vinyls. Intersperse them with object d’arts or small, framed artworks or photographs, and you have a stunning effect in your room.
