Decorating large windowless walls can be tough to get right because you have a lot of space to consider in the design. You would be surprised how you can decorate a large wall without your typical wall art.
Instead you can bring in unexpected elements such as decorating with a tall piece of furniture, mixing shapes, layering decor, and open shelving units.
Accent Wall with Shelving
Create a focal point on a large windowless wall with open shelving filled with plants, art work, and books. The books can bring in color and texture creating a visually appealing space. Open shelving gives you a ton of options on how to decorate the space and even the ability to easily change out the decor on the shelves.
Black and White Gallery Wall
You can’t go wrong with a classic black and white gallery wall filled with special memories in your life. This gallery wall can be personal moments, photography, or even a mixture of digital art to fit your decor style. Large frames with oversized matte bring a little drama to this symmetrical wall decor.
Tall Tree or Standing Lamp
A tall faux tree or a fun standing lamp can help fill up some of the space when decorating a large windowless wall. Another benefit to a tree or a standing lamp is that they can help balance the space with symmetry on either side of your wall decor. When decorating a large wall, consider the height of the faux tree or lamp to help you finish the design.
Long Picture Shelving
Another easy way to fill up a large wall is to install a long picture ledge. You can arrange multiple picture ledges on your wall or simply add one long picture ledge. Then add art and pictures in various heights and sizes to bring visual interest. Try staggering frames to layer the art and make space for greenery and other smaller decor items.
Unexpected Shaped Mirror
Decorating with a unique shaped mirror allows you to easily blend the mirror into the design. The blob shaped mirror is fun and unexpected making it a great focal point for any room or hallway.
Colorful Built-Ins
Adding colorful built-ins is a fun DIY project that you can install almost anywhere in your home. Colorful built-ins bring a ton of storage, space to display small decor items, and enthusiasm to the room. Decorating light blue built-ins with bold colors bring beautiful contrast and personality to a large windowless wall.
Overflowing Greenery
Decorating with a tall vase filled with overflowing greenery is another simple wall to fill up a wall without overcrowding the space. The greenery is subtle and down to earth while satisfying a large space of the room. Thin greenery is a great option when you are seeking simplicity a design.
Maximalist Gallery Wall
The maximalist style isn’t for everyone, but if you do it right this can be seriously cool. Something about bold colors and mixing in art is so exciting. I think because it is hard to achieve this style without it looking congested and random. When someone gets it right, the entire room is alike a work of art.
Large Wall Art and Long Furniture
A minimalistic way to decorate a large wall is to display an oversize modern canvas and a long piece of furniture. You can display a standalone canvas or you can stagger wall art and shelving around the canvas, if you prefer more decorative items on a wall.
Conclusion
Decorating a large windowless wall can be difficult to get right, but don’t feel intimidated by this amazing decorating space. The options are limitless when it comes to this space, so have fun with it! These ideas would be great for a living room, dining room, or even a long hallway. It might take you a few tries to get it to feel right, but you will learn a lot about your own personal style along the way.
