5 Ways To Redo Your Living Room Wall With Elegance
Art Work
When it comes to wall decor, bringing artwork to your home is the easiest way to nail an 'elegant' look. Pick pieces that are either minimal, or not too jarring when it comes to colours that might clash with your furniture. If you’re interested in adding a gallery wall to your living room that screams pinterest vibes, then don’t think twice, except for the fact that symmetry is essential to make it not look hotch-potch. We suggest checking out the paintings available on The Art House, which is a brand we found, and absolutely love, especially because of their re-creation of famous paintings, as well as since they have a good mix of abstract and contemporary options.

Wall Panelling
Wall panelling is a popular choice for larger and more open areas of a house, such as the dining, living, or kitchen areas. It is typically done using wood, although some people experiment with metal or glass (using mirrors). You can find various textures, colours, and designs for your walls and even customise them. Go for this in areas of your home that you won't be changing time and again, as it's not easy to take out. While most people prefer adding Parisian-style wall panels to create an accent wall, we think it to be quite traditional and much prefer this simple panel, which is subtle and chic. Although the original inspiration picture shows a wooden panel, we recommend using PVC instead as it is easier to manage, waterproof, and resistant to borers.
Wallpaper
Wallpapers are a type of surface that is powerful enough to change the entire feel and décor of your house. Putting up wallpaper in your house might turn out to be one of the bold choices that you make for the type of wallpaper that you end up choosing reflects your personality, choices and even taste. If chosen with careful consideration, they totally work like magic—they can literally elevate the aesthetic of your home. We all know that marble wallpapers are trending and rightfully so. You see, they bring with themselves a luxurious yet classic look that can add a touch of elegance to any room. On top of this, they are extremely versatile, isn’t that an added bonus?

Accent Pieces
Accent pieces are the best way to add some oomph and character to your living room. They are the statement piece of the set up, which elevates the overall look of the room. These can be big art pieces, figurines, vases and coffee table books, they can even be ceiling lamps, floor lamps or table lamps! And we think it’s absolutely the best-case scenario when an accent piece can also fulfil a utility. And this two-tone clock by Silken does exactly that. The moss agate piece with gold-tone hour and minute hands in an hexagonal shape will go perfectly with neutral walls that need a pop of colour. It comes with a two-year warranty and a wall hanger case. Moss agate is also known to boost healing energies and so is Vaastu-approved.
Accent Lighting
If there was ever a wall accent that could single-handedly cleanse your aura, it would be this Hamsa shadow light. The best part about it is that it looks stunning both with the light on and off, and the shadow effect is perfect for those who like to charge their crystals and bathe in good vibes™. If you believe in the meaning of the symbol, putting it up at the wall that is in direct eyeline of your living room door might be a great idea to keep the bad vibes away.
