Our top tips for your best dressed walls

Your walls are the perfect place to showcase your personal style and creativity. Whether you’re decorating a new space or refreshing an old one, the right wall décor will instantly uplift any room of the house. Below, we’ll cover some of our favourite ideas to help you create stunning focal points around the home.

Paint a wall mural: A great way to add a unique flair to your room and inject your personal taste is through a wall mural. When it comes to murals, the possibilities are truly endless. Murals can tie a whole space together through colour and design, or create a unique feature with contrasting colours that truly pop. You can hire an artist to complete the task or try your hand at DIY stenciling for a fun weekend project. Our tester pots make great paint options for your mural and are readily available to collect from your local Crown Paints stockist.

Use your favourite art as a focal point: The use of art is one of the quickest and simplest ways to elevate your walls. More than just decoration, the art you choose reflects your personal style, interests, and the stories you want to tell. Whether it’s a large canvas painting that makes a bold statement, a collection of smaller prints that captures moments or themes, or a wall-mounted sculpture that adds dimension, each piece brings a unique layer of depth to your home. Art has the power to transform a room, turning blank walls into expressions of who you are and what resonates with you, making your space feel truly personal and meaningful.

 

Display shelves as art: Floating shelves are a perfect way to mix style and practicality. They let you showcase items that reflect your personality while also adding a nice design element to your walls. You can use them to display books, plants, sculptures, framed photos, or other decorative pieces. Plus, they add depth to a room and give you the flexibility to change things up whenever you feel like it! Style your shelves by layering objects for a sense of depth—for example, stack a few books horizontally and place a small plant or decoration on top. Varying the heights of items can also create visual interest.

Add a pattern to your walls: Adding a pattern to your walls with paint is such a fun and easy way to completely transform a space/ Whether you go for bold stripes, subtle polka dots, or something totally unique, it instantly adds personality and charm. The best part? You can customise your pattern to fit your style and the vibe you want for the room. Want something playful? Go for bright, contrasting colours. Prefer a calm and cosy feel? Try soft, muted tones with a simple geometric pattern. It's like giving your walls a cool outfit, and the possibilities are endless! Plus, if you ever feel like a change, you can always paint over it and start fresh with a new design. Again, when it comes to paint, Crown has you (and your walls) covered!

Create a gallery wall: Making a gallery wall is a fun way to bring some personality to your room. It’s like creating your own mini art exhibit right at home. You can mix and match framed photos, artwork, posters, or even quirky little pieces like postcards or mirrors. If you really want to try something different, you can even paint the frames yourself—directly on the wall! The best part is there are no rules—go as bold or as understated as you like! Play around with different frame sizes, shapes, and colours to keep things interesting. When it comes to your walls, there are no limits. The above suggestions will help ensure you walls are looking great at all times. For even more inspiration and fun décor ideas, visit our blog!
