Often when you build or buy a home and once all the furniture is set, there are a few walls that are left completely blank or unoccupied. Large empty wall spaces are sometimes difficult gaps to fill when it is supposed to compliment the overall setting of a room. In most cases, that space is either covered by placing a settee or a portrait but if you are wondering if there are ways to use wall space that you can explore, then we have got you covered with that.
Following are some options that depending upon the space, room and color scheme can be considered:
Hang an Oversized Clock
Thanks to digitization, wall clocks have become almost obsolete, but, if chosen and placed wisely, these articles can make a huge impact on the ambiance of a room.
Usually people moving into a studio or one-bedroom apartment tend to adopt minimalism to avoid clutter. This can lead to a lot of empty, often dull, space in the unit. But a huge sized wall clock, positioned perfectly, will not only fill that void but also add to the overall ambiance of the space as well.
The size, color selection and shape are the things that will completely depend on the theme of the room it will be placed in. For instance, a living room or kitchen wall might adjust a funky or casual looking clock but a formal or antique design will better suit the aura and energy of a bedroom or a drawing room.
Picture Gallery
You might have seen dozens and dozens of pictures in grandmother’s old house and while looking at them always reminds you of something, their casual placement is probably not your best memory. Pictures of old but important times and events make you nostalgic. If those pictures are placed in an orderly manner, it will not only help you revisit the old times on a stressful day but also make a house look like a home leaves a great impression on visitors.
How the pictures can be arranged on the wall is totally one’s own decision; you can paint the background as well, just to jazz things up a bit. If a proper wall is dedicated to display pictures, lights on either side can also be added to add to the wow factor.
Add Creative Storage Space
As many closets or shelve spaces one keeps in their house, there is always need for more especially when you have decoration pieces that go with the overall theme of a room. This particular problem usually arises where there are big living rooms and multiple items to décor the room with.
Since it’s a lot of wood-work to add storage spaces in a room, this needs to be well thought and require creative imagination that not only fulfills the necessity but also enhances the overall look. You can surf the internet to see how ledges can be used for multiple purposes. How books, pictures, decoration pieces and maybe a TV screen can be placed in the space.
Create A Cozy Spot
Life in a big city is full of hustle and bustle and after a hectic and stressful day everyone needs escape from their busy routine. That could mean anything from socializing with friends and family to relaxing in your own comfort spot.
For those who enjoy the comfort of their own home and mostly one spot that they hold very dear, they can create such a spot with very little effort. The background wall will play a vital role in creating the perfect spot. It may vary from person to person how they arrange it but a plain wall, comfortable sofa seat, table and some house plants will be sufficient. Colors always play a significant role in setting the mood of a person so with plain white background, a vibrant coloured sofa can add beautiful contrast.
For most avid readers who give a certain portion of their time to the books, a corner where you can read is nothing less than a paradise. For others, who just don’t feel like going out and want to spend time at home, a spot like this might call for an impromptu nap.
Wall chalking/Doodling
From what was considered to be a street art, graffiti and wall chalking has come a long way and made its entrance into the modern home decoration. The world community has developed a better understanding of art and started respecting and appreciating it in different forms. Graffiti like other art forms is a way of expressing and what better way of showing it than in your own room.
Design and art have made entry into people’s lives very subtly. It can always be expected of an artist to be surrounded by art but a lay man can also get access to it. Washing your wall with vibrant colours and doodling can not only change the look of your room but also make you feel better about it.
You can also hire a professional to draw anything that suits your artistic taste. Interesting objects like bikes, cars and many other things can also be drawn to give a better and more lively feeling to the room.
Projection Wall
We all have our thoughts about a perfect home and facilities that we want in it. Out of all them, one most common would be a home theatre. While it is expensive to install a complete setup, there can be an alternative that to some extent will provide a similar feel.
All you would need is a projector and an empty white wall so that the screen can be projected clearly on the wall. Depending upon one’s interests and needs, floor bedding or sofa seats can be set in the room. For the people living on their own, this is one interesting and a viable thing they can do with a free wall.
There could be scores of other things that one can do with their huge empty wall spaces but that might require interior decoration expertise and could be costly too.
