Some Stunning Designs To Spruce Up Your Home Walls!

Sick of staring at a cold, stark, empty wall? Infuse it with warmth and style by adding creative artwork.

Stylish Silhouettes

To put a culinary-inspired twist on the classic silhouette, use cut outs of cooking utensils and appliances as the subject matter for kitchen wall decor. These cut-outs are backed with photocopied pages from an old cookbook, allowing them to blend easily with the kitchen's country style. The pieces stand out against the wall with crisp black frames in varying widths and are arranged in a neat, balanced composition.

Attention Grabber

Draw attention to unique accessories with an oversize piece of artwork. This massive print embraces the contemporary typography trend and draws the eye toward a modern transparent console table. To keep the arrangement looking grounded and intentional, it's been flanked by a pair of industrial-style sconces.

DIY Botanical Prints

Update the classic look of botanical prints with this easy DIY project. Silk or plastic greenery is laid on a blank canvas and a coat of spray paint creates the reverse silhouette. A special material called frisket (available in the model-building section of a crafts store) gives the pieces a unique irregular border.

Artsy Calendars

Who says calendars can't function as artwork, too? To create the look, remove the glass from a store-bought picture frame, line the inside of the frame with a piece of scrapbook paper, then adhere the calendar to the paper. To allow easy change-out from month to month, look for a calendar that has tear-off pages.

A Bit of Nature

Bring the great outdoors inside with artwork. This sunny sitting room includes a large bay window that offers magnificent views of the outside, making these small butterfly prints blend right in on a blank wall. The bright colours on the butterflies' wings add a needed splash of colour to the mostly neutral room and coordinate perfectly with other accessories and decor.

Some Ideas For Living Room Furniture

Living room is called the face of your house. It is as important as other areas of your house. However, the most common question we hear is how to decorate your living room or what kind of furniture will make your living room spacious. Thus, in this blog I will give you some ideas about arranging your furniture to suit the way you use your living room: 

Arrange for Face To face Conversation 

Arranging the seating pieces to face each other over a shared coffee table makes conversation easy, and the table keeps drinks in easy reach.

Divide the room with Furniture

Divide a large living/dining space into separate zones with furniture placement. A sofa facing away from the dining room defines the conversation area from the rest of this open layout.

Seat Four with Chairs

If you don't have room for the usual sofas and love seats, four comfy chairs will serve as well--or perhaps better. In this clean, crisp setting, matching white slip covered chairs define an orderly, compact, yet welcoming seating group.

Pull Furnishing Together With a Rug

Use a large area rug to unify a seating group within a larger space. If the rug isn't large enough to contain all of the seating pieces, make sure that those farthest from the wall are solidly anchored on the "island."

Enlarge the Space with Diagonals 

Placing the furniture diagonally gives a boxy room some flavour. The diagonal also creates a welcoming pathway into the seating group. Use the sofa and coffee table to establish the diagonal axis and arrange additional seating on the same axis. To subtly anchor the seating group to the room's architecture, align the area with the fireplace wall.

Make Space for Lounging

In living rooms where lounging and TV-watching are the main activities, a sectional sofa offers flexible, comfortable seating. Sectionals come in a variety of units, from armless chairs to love seats, ottomans, and chaises that you can combine to fit your space. The sofa in this living room is oriented toward the TV (not shown) and the extra seating is lightweight and can be easily rearranged to face the TV.

Divide Large Spaces with Seating

If your living room is the setting for large parties, bring intimacy and a comfortable sense of scale to the room by dividing it into two conversational groupings with a path between them. Placing one sofa with its back to this path underscores the separation between the two groups, as do the rugs anchoring them.

Arrange in an L Shape

In this large living room, a sofa and a love seat form an L framing a large coffee table. This simple arrangement provides a convenient conversational cluster. A single chair at the other side of this group can easily be moved closer to the conversation grouping
