When it comes to home interior decorating, people tend to think about the horizontal aspect of a space much more than the vertical. In other words, what goes on the floor in terms furniture, lamps, and accessories comes before we think about the walls. But in truth, the walls are often one of the first aspects of a space people notice, and other than the television, probably the most likely place our eyes will drift. It’s important to address those vertical surfaces with paint, wall borders, and wall paper. In addition, artwork is a great way to draw together the room, so make sure you have posters, framed pictures, or even wall scrolls to improve the visual aesthetic. And don’t forget practical items as well, such as decorative one day cuckoo clocks or ornate antique mirrors.
When you have gorgeous walls that draw attention, you’ll be amazed how often you and your guests will no longer be focusing on the furniture. You’ll be liable to receive more comments on your walls than all the objects on the floor.
