instant feel of coziness to a room and are available in a variety of textures and make,
like, rustic or sophisticated. Wooden panels are quite simple to install and involve

Think of tapestry to hide those walls
If you think using tapestry or textile art to cover up walls is an old timer’s thing, then, you’re
e pretty wrong since it’s an art form that is still in vogue and is used widely in homes to add
elegance and class. Tapestry can be both old schools as well as a new school. By old school,
we mean art forms pertaining to the olden times; while the new school tapestries focus more
on modern patterns and textures. Tapestries can hide the flaws of your walls perfectly, and in
doing so, add a feel of richness. It’s a good fix for ugly walls.
Vinyl decals and stickers are also quite popular these days, and they come in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns. To quote the folks from StickerBrand.com, Vinyl wall decals are die-cut from a single-color vinyl sheet. The design is cut out, and the negative parts are removed, allowing your wall’s paint to serve as the background for a seamless look.

Put up a collage of pictures to hide the holes
Picture collage is one of the cheapest ways to cover up the ugliness of walls. All you need to
do is collect some pictures of your choice, maybe your family, and then arrange all together
to form a beautiful covering for your wall. However, try to get your hands on frames that are
sold at dollar stores rather than going to a shop. Try to pick smaller frames as these are
cheaper than large ones.
Try wall tiles if money is not a problem
Tiles are expensive, but, nevertheless, add a lot of character to a decor. Most commonly, tiles
are used to cover up walls of bath areas and kitchens. This is because these spaces deal with a
lot of water and moisture, and tiles are the best way to tackle these issues. A tiled wall looks
cleaner than a normal wall would.
Decorate your wall with mirrors

why many homeowners put these on walls as decorations. Mirrors of varying sizes and
shapes can be arranged cleverly to hide some major flaws on a wall, and trust us, these will
not burn a hole in your pocket. A wall with mirrors creates a magical feel and can become the
focal point in your decor.
Hide the dampness with green walls
Walls with vertical gardens are very much in trend these days. Not only does the greenery
add a soothing touch to your eyes, but it is also an effective way to tackle the dampness of
your walls. Green walls are installed by professionals that give you all the needed info as to
how to maintain them. Believe us; it’s not that difficult to care for a green wall.
Cabinets to your rescue
If you have a wall in your bedroom that needs urgent treatment and looks hideous to the core,
here’s a simple solution-just move your cabinet or shelf against it and cover up the flaws
instantly, and without any expenditure. You can use a bookshelf for this purpose as it will add
a cozy feel to your nook and make it very relaxing.
Make use of curtains
Curtains are a good fix for your ugly looking walls. If your wall has a few cracks and
unpleasant marks, then, you can cover these up with flowing curtains of different lengths and
sizes to form into a colorful artsy pattern. Team the curtains with beads, frames and other
artwork of your choice. If the wall above your window bears ugly marks, then hang the
curtains from a greater height to cover up most flaws.
Our fixer upper had a bunch of holes on walls in each room it seemed. We did a lot of sheetrock repairs, but I do love a good accent wall with stone or wood. I think they bring texture and character to the house. So many fun ideas!
ReplyDeleteThis is so ironic that I am commenting on a subject my daughter and I were talking about earlier! Today was her daughter’s ninety birthday and we went over to her house to help celebrate after she came home from Build-A-Bear and she showed us a couple of rooms that she and her husband remodeled. Her bedroom was one and they used the ceiling to wall tapestry. What was cool about it was it looked like they added another window! Then the wall behind where their bed was facing, they put white long wood panels that added a little ambiance of rustic nature. They added a ceiling fan with dimmer lights. It truly is beautiful and made the room seem brighter and beautiful! And it wasn’t that expensive - just time consuming! I want my bedroom done like that - hopefully someday! This was really pin worthy!! All these suggestions are awesome and very useful!! Thank you for sharing ��
