Decorating a large wall can be a daunting task. Make sure to create a focal point that is easily visible. One large piece of art, or a combination of art, is a nice touch. The advent of easily printable graphic images is making wall decor easier and more affordable than ever before. - Consider adding a mural to a large wall for a high-impact design that will capture the attention of anyone that sees it. If you are creative, you can create a mural yourself with the help of a transparency projector. Simply copy your image onto a piece of transparent plastic sheet using a copy machine. Project the image onto your wall and adjust the size to your liking. Trace the image onto the wall and then paint in the details. For a hip, urban design, consider creating a large piece of graffiti art. This is ideal in the room of a teenager or in a retail environment.
- Applying vinyl adhesive art to your wall is a popular idea. Many online stores and department stores carry vinyl art pieces in large tubes. They often include a number of elements that can be applied to different parts of your wall. Examples include giant trees that are sold together with bird and leaf images that you can spread throughout the wall. ANother example is a large piano image that comes with separate music notes that can be placed all over the wall to create a music vibe. Vinyl letters can also be purchased to complete the look and offer a personalized touch.
- Framed art can be expensive, but there is a solution that is popular. Shop at thrift stores, yard sales or flea markets for large picture frames. Visit a craft store or picture framing supply store to buy a mat to fill the inside of the frame allowing space for your favorite artwork in the middle. For example, you can easily turn an 8-by-10-inch photo into a large 16-by-20-inch piece of art by doing this. The bigger the art, the bigger the impact that it will have on your large wall.
