It doesn’t even need to be in the kitchen!

3. Cladding

This is a great way to transform your wall and really easy to do. It can be done inside or outside your home and is low maintenance as well as easy to keep clean.

You can choose from vinyl, wood or a variety of other materials to get just the right effect.

4. Wallpaper

Of course, wallpaper can be used to transform your wall. There are hundreds of different designs available on the market which can create a picture, backdrop or even a transfixing pattern.

Just be sure to verify if the pattern needs to be matched up; it will make it harder to put up!

5. Decal

Most people don’t normally consider sticking things to the walls but a large scale decal can be just the decoration you need. They usually stick on and many can be easily removed.

You can choose a super hero, room sign or from countless other designs to get the right effect.

6. Grass!

This surprise entry is growing in popularity. Grass, or flowing plants can fall down from specific slots in the tops of your walls and create a natural looking covering which has the benefit of purifying your air!

This unusual approach can be an excellent feature providing you don’t let it take over your home!

7. Tapestries

In the old days castles hung huge tapestries on the walls to help insulate them in the colder months. You might not need the additional insulation in your modern home but it can still create a nice feature on your wall.

8. Photos

Another option to cover your wall is to simply add pictures of you, your loved ones and friends. The pictures can be mounted directly on the wall as a collage or in frames.

The idea is to create a living history of you and your loved ones. It will certainly attract some positive attention from visitors!

9. Achievements

Similarly, if you have a large number of certificates and awards for a particular activity you can cover the wall in these. Or you can select specific areas to place the items and then have lights to ensure they are the focus, not the plain wall.

10. Tiling

Finally, a more traditional approach is to tile the entire wall. However, with the huge range of tiles you can now find in shops this does not have to be one color.

It can be as abstract as you like!

Don’t be intimidated! A big, windowless wall can be the perfect canvas for your creative decor idea.
