For some reason, home designers love creating living rooms with massive blank walls. You position your furniture and TV on a couple of walls, but there’s always one huge one that ends up empty. It makes the living room lose a lot of its appeal, so here are some ideas to decorate that blank wall and make the entire space more fulfilling.

Install A Fireplace

Nothing fills up a blank wall quite like a stylish fireplace. It’s an especially fantastic option if you’ve got a large blank space without much room to place other items. The right fireplace will only take up a slight bit of space because you essentially build part of it into the wall.

Full disclosure: we’re not talking about traditional fireplaces here. They require a chimney, but if you look for fireplaces near me, you’re bound to find either electric or gas varieties that don’t emit smoke. Both give you devilishly stylish interior features that fill up that blank wall and add more substance to your living room.

Hang Up Some Art

You can’t go wrong with some wall art in a living room. The right pieces will brighten up any space - and they can even become cool conversation starters if you have guests over. You’re not going to fill the entire blank wall with art, but that’s okay because a few pieces will do the trick.

Some people prefer one big statement piece, while others like a couple of smaller pieces in frames. Play around with different artwork and choose something that melds beautifully with your interior.
Consider Shelving/Storage Units

There’s an old saying that you can never have too much storage in your home. Okay, that was completely made up, but it should be a saying, right? There’s never enough storage for all of your household items, and that blank wall is the perfect place to add more.

Depending on how much living room space is available to you, you could add a big wall storage unit - like a cabinet - to really beef up the interior design. Alternatively, hanging a few shelves makes loads of sense; you can place potted plants, photo frames and various other things on them to make the wall feel less empty.

Add A New Piece Of Furniture

Speaking of how much living space you have near the blank wall, why don’t you consider a new piece of furniture? This could be a lovely big armchair, a smaller sofa or even a casual bench. Furniture brings more functionality to your living room and helps you sit more people, but it also stops it from feeling overly spacious and devoid of life.

One other cool thing about this idea is that you can layer furniture with other ideas to really transform the wall. Imagine a nice little love seat with some art above it; you turn a blank and boring wall into one of the focal points of your living room.

Some people like leaving their blank walls because they think it makes a living room feel bigger. That’s fair enough, but you definitely lose out on the cosy feeling. If you’re eager to decorate your blank wall, then you now know where to start.
