Once in a blue moon, every one of us goes through those blues when all we want to do is stare at the walls. It was during one such moment that I wondered what if my living room wall was painted bright orange? Surely that would cheer me up?
The walls around us, within which we probably spend around 80 per cent of our time, need not objects that evoke the dull and the dreary in us. Matter of fact, they could be made delightfully interesting–all the more reason to do so this festive season.
The possibilities to brighten up a room are endless. You could used themed wallpapers to suit a room, or you could opt in to hang framed paintings of real art works or prints, and framed posters never fail to jazz up a room. Or experiment with mosaic designs or tiled walls for a refreshing appeal–tiles add depth and dimension which can be captivating.
Tastefully decorated mirrors can make a small room bigger, and even some light, but remember, size and placement are the crucial factors when use the mirror effect. A rather off-beat way to enchat yourself and your guests is to hang tapestries and colorful quilts.
Wall art is limited only by imagination. Various combinations of stuff lying around the house could be creatively put together and hung on walls to add a refreshing appeal to your rooms. Just experiment and try and make those blue days… bright orange!

Have a look at quilt art or textile art to hang on walls, the great thing is you can change your walls by moving them about, better than painting them and fantastic to make but they can be addictive but then you can enter shows with the ones you haven’t enough walls for.
Haha… that’s a cute one, Jill! And personally I do love the idea of quilt or textile art–they’re bound to give some depth to the 2-D walls.
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
