*Wall Decoration For All Styles! This post includes my affiliate links.
Bare walls are sad walls. Painting your walls a specific color is one way to bring out a particular color palate that describes you but wall art or wall decoration takes it to the next level.
Everyone loves different types of wall art or wall decoration and not all types will be for you. It’s important to pick the pieces you like, that you are drawn to, and those that even inspire you. Today we are reviewing several types of wall decoration to help you determine what you need to decorate your walls and show off your style!
Wall Decoration For All Styles
Put a map on it! Some people love maps. Maybe they travel often and enjoy reliving those memories by showcasing a map. Or maybe someone is aspiring to bring travel into their life and by seeing maps on the walls, they will work hard to make travel a part of their life.
Some people just really love cartography and with maps being available all over the internet and through apps, maps are getting harder to find. Companies, like Muir Way, are countering that by offering maps of all kinds to enhance your walls in the best ways possible.
You can choose maps that show off a state, a forest, a river, country, city, or small town. Maps of the area that your family is from is also another fantastic way to preserve a bit of family history and inspire your life in big ways. Maps may not be used like they once were but they are certainly not going to disappear anytime soon.
Fine Art! Fine art is always an excellent way to showcase the art that you adore and to create a gallery-like effect in your home. You can opt for well-known artists but be prepared for an expensive investment in your home décor.
If your budget doesn’t quite match those well-known artists, you can still have beautiful pieces adorn your walls by seeking out independent local artists who create their own fine art.
Sometimes you will find them in your local galleries but you can also check out local fine dining restaurants and libraries to see showcases of their amazing work. Keep your eyes peeled and we are sure you will find the right piece of work that will fit your home.
Fun Wall Decals and Stickers! You can create an impressive scene on your walls with wall decals and stickers that are designed to bring your passions to life. Some of the most famous options include gigantic oak trees, birds, and jungle themes. You can go even further and personalize it by using name wall stickers. These are great for enhancing the kid’s rooms or any other special space on particular occasions.
While wall decals are often associated with children, there are also lots of options for adults to bring some kitsch and flair to an otherwise boring room. Don’t be afraid to explore the wall decal for your next remodel.
Do Your Own Thing! Sometimes the best wall art is something you wouldn’t normally think of as wall art. Take for instance a vintage set of dishes that you know you will never use in a meal. You could do the typical thing and showcase them in a glass hutch or you could step things up by attaching some of the plates and platters onto the walls.
Don’t forget the power of the DIY wall art project either. If you have some needlepoint, paper crafting, or painting skills, you will be able to create some amazing pieces for your walls. What better than to put a bit of your own artistic skill on display?
Getting inspiration from places like Pinterest is a great way to get ideas on how you want to decorate your walls. There are so many great ideas on that site!
When you close your eyes and envision the room you are standing in, what do you see? What colors are prominent? This is a good indicator of what you should do to a room and what you should look for when it’s time to dress things up. Tell us, what is your favorite piece of wall decoration or art are your favorite?

This is a great blog post. My Mom has always loved decorating the walls at our house, and I guess it rubbed off on me! My room’s walls are covered in lights and shelves, some of it is similarly setup like some of the pictures on this page. Overall, this is a great topic and even more interesting for me!

I really love the maps. Hubby actually has a large collection of them he has saved over the years, and it is something we have been meaning to do something with but have yet to get around to it. I love the look and the feel of the history of the older ones.
Christy DuBois says
I really like a lot of the map options I’ve seen online for wall art. The printed map is not used like it use to be, as you stated, but I too believe they will always be used and in artwork is a great way.

We just had our walls painted so I need to put up some colorful prints and paintings to liven up our room.
