A blank wall can be the best place to let yourself be as expressive as possible. If you are an artist, or if you like art, you can have a graffiti painted over the wall. You don’t have to be a trained painter for this!
Simple elements like leaves, flowers, Paisleys, or even geometric figures, like circles, squares and triangles, can make a plain wall look pretty. Just make sure to keep the colours and contrasts in mind. You can highlight it with some spotlight, and you are done!
Your empty, plain wall could be a wonderful opportunity to showcase your talents or hobbies. If you are an art collector or an artist yourself, you can hang your own work or your collection on the wall, for a beautiful arty look. You can even frame your vintage coin collections or mementos from your various vacations, just like famous actor, Sunil Shetty has done it (check above picture).
A collection of worn out, old black and white photographs would give a different look as well. It all depends on your home décor theme, and what goes best with it.

Did you know that you can go all crazy and wild with what you can hang on your wall? You can hang an eclectic dish collection or carved cutlery to get a funky look. Or it could just be one large dish that has contrasting colours or delicate print, hung on a brightly-coloured wall.
Just make sure that there isn’t a clash of colours, as it can give a loud effect. Usually pastels and white go with all wall colours.
There is nothing more elegant than a wall with a vintage clock hanging on it. You can use this idea especially when the blank wall space is in odd areas such as the entry way or above the showcase.
Apart from telling time, a beautiful clock can instantly add a charm to the room. It doesn’t have to be vintage; you can play with colours, prints and the numerous styles that are available in the markets.

As the houses today are getting smaller, walls can be used as great spaces for utility while making them look pretty. Putting up colourful shelves or attaching an intricate bookshelf is a great idea to make a wall look lively.
These shelves can also be used to display your personal favourites like books, art pieces or other collectibles.
If the blank wall is near the bed or couch, getting a wall-mounted lamp installed serves the dual purpose of decorating as well as lightening up the space. Reading lights especially work great in these places. If you don't want a lamp directly mounted on the wall, you can choose a pretty-looking tall floor lamp along with some potted plants, to add artsy effects to the wall.
