Among my personal favorites are carved panels. Many manufacturers produce them from wood material, with carved motifs in subtle relief, left in a natural finish or even painted and lacquered for a sleek and glossy look. If you want to do it the cheap way and pride on your self crafted art creation, choose a large panel of your favorite wood. Look up an interesting pattern on the internet – such as a feminine vine motif or a very geometric one, perhaps an intricate Mayan amulet – and have it lasered onto the wood. Your guests will surely appreciate such an artistic touch, hung over a comfortable couch in the living room or displayed under great ambient lighting by your stylish dining table. Patterned plasterAnother effortless wall design in which the texture speaks for itself can be achieved by modelling plaster. Cast a thicker layer of plaster onto the wall and pick a paint roll with a certain texture or even stencils. The effect can range from vintage and sophisticated to modern and geometric, depending on the stencils and models you use. Here’s a soft organic waves texture, conveying a relaxing atmosphere to a modern dining space. Wall tattoos look cool If you’re not quite the artistic type but would like to have a pictorial touch with no overbearing consequences, why not go with wall stickers? They are available in many sizes and a plethora of themes. Abstract floral themes are timeless and especially appropriate for a bathroom or boudoir. The pop culture approach is also very effective, with portrait outlines of female manga faces or celebrities. Urban themes such as phone booths, street lamps or even city skylines are in trend now. Or would you like some playful cat silhouettes for your living room? How about recreating the intricate skyline of New York or Istanbul over the couch or fireplace? One of the best things about wall stickers is, you can combine them with your furniture or framed pictures for a stylish and synergistic effect. Metal art for your walls For this one you’ll need a certain degree of blacksmithing skill and a passion for metal. Once you’ve gotten comfortable with the pleasures of handling hammer, pliers and perhaps a welding machine, the result will be artful, eccentric, and most of all, earned. One of the most versatile materials, metal ages well and can be very malleable. There is a widely spread copper trend in jewelry, and for a good reason. It is easy to process and has splendid colors. Let’s apply this same craft to our beloved home walls. Depending on skill and taste, the wall metal art installation can be geometric with just a hint of relief or a real 3D sculpture. An easier, corn-free way would be bringing a light installation by Cattellani and Smith into your home: the best of blacksmithing and lighting in one exquisite piece. A rare and fascinating approach to wall decor is hanging panels that sustain greenery. Nature lovers and not only will appreciate this vertical garden that thrives in sunny corners. You can buy it or make it yourself and develop an attachment to it, as well as pride and responsibility. After all, this fragile and beautiful living tapestry is not only pleasant to look at, but also brings well-being and freshness to your home.
