Some general tips to maintain the beauty of your wall

Stack necessary tools before you start

Just a hammer and some nails are a good way to start but they are not going to be enough. You need to analyze the objects you’re going to decorate your wall with and prepare accordingly. Also, go for minimal efforts and try to protect your walls as much as you can. For example, you can stick double-sided tape to attach posters or light frames rather than nails. Also, while hanging big portraits don’t go for Sheetrock nails if you can work with smaller ones. You don’t want to end up with big holes in your wall. 

Measure your accessories

Before hanging the art on the wall, it is important to measure and see if there is enough space on the wall considering the furniture placed nearby. For example, if there is a sofa placed near the wall, the poster or art needs to coincide with the size of the sofa so that it doesn’t look out of place. If the size of a portrait is bigger than the item of furniture you can always balance it out with vases and other decorative pieces. If there is a grand dining table, and the portrait is smaller then add some more art on the wall to balance out the table size.

Start with your favorites 

Start your decoration with the items you love and then take it from there. It’s good to place those items first and then stack the rest. It will give you a place to start and a direction to go forward. Also, a pro tip, never miss out on any corners. Corners can give you an edge while decorating. You can hang a lantern, a vase, or a container of plants in the corner and it would look good because of the curve in the wall. It would also add attention to the details vibe.

Don’t be stuck with basics

While decorating your walls you must be creative and think out of the box. For starters, don’t use frames of similar sizes. Add variety while using framed paintings and portraits. Use different textures and materials of decorative items. It’s good to add new dimensions. Make your own art, use flowers, and leaves and decorate a mirror to hang on the wall. Use natural stones and beads to make shapes and patterns, frame them, and hang them on the walls. It would not only create a unique outlook but also increase a creative element.
