Every morning, I wake up and see the massive blank wall across from my bed—and I have had enough. Give me color! Give me art! Give me a break. I’m over this. I need to some large wall decor ideas, ASAP, before I self-implode over the nothingness that’s happening before my eyes. Sorry, was that dramatic? I just really need a home decor refresh and filling up some blank walls with creative art pieces or fancy wall molding sounds like a mighty fine way to do it.
If you’re in the same boat, hi, welcome to the club. I did some furious digging around the internet (as one does when they are o-v-e-r it) and came up with some solutions that I think will do the trick. From pre-designed gallery wall sets (yep, no planning required!) and large-scale art pieces (that wont break the bank) to chic wall decals from talented artists on Etsy and more—see it all, below. (And yay for not self-imploding.)

a chic wall decal
Headboard Wall Decal
If you don’t have a headboard or you’re just looking to dress up the wall your bed is on, consider this cool wall arch trend. Sure, you could paint one with your super steady hands and refreshed knowledge of geometry (can’t relate) or you could get a wall decal that you just stick on. Up to you!

a gallery wall
Touch of Color Gallery Wall
Or how about a gallery wall? A clique of cool prints and photographs will instantly make your space feel more personalized (and stylish). Not sure where to start? No worries, Desenio offers tons of different pre-designed gallery wall sets that you can buy (and even customize to your liking).

some fancy wall molding

a sculptural art piece

Turn that wall into its own “moment” with a sculptural art piece. The 3D structure will add some depth to your space (and maybe make you look like a big-time art collector, IDK).

a ginormous mirror

Having a huge mirror in the room will surely open up the space (especially if it reflects back the view from your window).

large-scale art

a suncatcher

Hear me out: Put this someplace where the sun can bounce off all its lil mirrors and reflect back on a wall. Dreamy!
