Everyone wants to see their home stylish, original and beautiful. The hall is the center of any apartment and country house, often serving as a living room for receiving guests. In order to simply decorate the wall in the hall with your own hands, you can hang pictures, plates, watches on it. But these are all the little things that are intended for finishing the interior design. There are many more ways to decorate the walls in the hall.

Three general rules for decorating walls

First and foremost, wall decor should be in harmony with the style chosen for the living room. Even if “fusion” or “eclecticism” is chosen, one should not forget about the harmony of all components.

The second is that large decorative elements draw attention to themselves. But their overabundance will visually reduce the space of the room, while a few small ones will only expand it. Large "spots" are preferable to use for zoning.

Third - "stripes", "strips" should be used with caution. They are not suitable for Art Deco at all. Vertical ones raise the ceiling, while horizontal ones push the walls apart. To minimize these effects, it is necessary to select non-contrasting colors for neighboring bands and make their borders somewhat blurry, flowing from one to another. And to strengthen - on the contrary, you need a contrast in relation to each other or a strict limitation of their number on the wall.

Niches, built-in shelves and coasters in the design of the walls in the living room

For modern design, all kinds of wall niches are already a common practice. Previously, they were more used as places for placing various figurines, books, vases, and photographs. Today, these are completely independent and complete stylistic decisions. Each style has its own niches: arched, rectangular, stepped and many others.



And in combination with lighting and flowing to the ceiling, they allow you to transform the hall, give it exclusivity and originality. It is also an effective and simple way of zoning a living room.



There are two methods of color design of niches in the wall of the hall: contrasting and close in relation to the shade of the main surface. It is recommended to paint them in a lighter tone than the rest of the wall. Otherwise, the recess will turn into an unsightly black hole in the middle of the room. If, nevertheless, a dark solution is planned, then it is best to prefer bed tones (lilac, peach). This will smooth out the contrast a little, and the niche will attract less attention to itself, while remaining a kind of dominant in the room.



Decorative painting is an affordable, simple and exotic way to decorate a wall in a hall

Fanciful ornaments, a branch of barberry or lilac, landscapes, individual images in the center of the wall and drawings throughout its entire area - paints, imagination and the ability to hold a brush allow you to embody everything with your own hands. Originality, originality and originality in design will be guaranteed.







A more simplified option for those who do not have painting skills is decorating walls using stencils and interior stickers. With your own hands, you can create complete artistic compositions in floral, abstract, geometric and ethnic themes.









For those who want to stand out, more exotic ways of decorating the walls in the hall with paints are more suitable - drawing a picture with luminous luminescent dyes or creating three-dimensional paintings.







Monochrome images look good on the wall, from the same paint of different shades.

Decorative moldings and moldings on the walls in the living room

Wall decoration with stucco elements is a typical feature for "retro", "empire", "renaissance". And moldings will find a place in almost any style. You can form whole wall bas-reliefs, decorate interior elements (mirrors, lamps, doorways with window openings). For this, finished products made of gypsum or plastic and made independently from a dry gypsum mixture are also suitable.





For plain walls, stucco textured panels and elements of various shapes are ideal. They can be painted in brighter colors, making accents on the wall.



Imitation of brick and stone masonry - freshness and originality or an attempt to return to the roots

There are a lot of finishing materials to imitate bricks: decorative plaster, ceramic tiles, plastic or wallpaper. You can always choose the most convenient for self-decoration of walls "under the brick." It will look like an ordinary clinker, but it will not clutter up the room.

A variant is also possible of a complete “brick laying” of the entire surface of the wall and the selection of its individual sections (from the floor to the middle, around windows or doors, outlining columns). Decorative brickwork is suitable for "loft", "hi-tech", "country". In some situations, it will refresh and complement the interior, while in others it will become the main theme of wall decoration.







Another variation of the brick decor is a stony layer of decorative stone. This design guarantees sophistication and style to the living room, and it will also slightly soften the severity of the lines in the hall.







LED lighting in the design of the walls of the hall

LED strips and spotlights are an indisputable novelty in decor, which has a wide palette of colors in all shades of the rainbow. The compactness and invisibility of the lighting equipment itself allows you to build it in the most difficult places, outline various shapes, highlight equipment on the wall or niches in it.

Professional designers love this decorative element. It allows you to easily fill the room with soft lighting, highlight any area in the hall with brighter light and form a directional glow that will visually push the walls apart or raise the ceiling.







DIY decorative fireplace against the wall - an affordable luxury in the living room

Art painting and drapery: enjoying the views

Making walls with your own hands using painting, as well as creating a “fabric” mood through draperies, are more complex ways to decorate a wall than the previous ones. They are as old as the world, which is why they are most in demand in interior design in historical, natural, national styles.

Painting, or what you can't cut down with a pen

The picture on the wall looks original and unique, especially the landscape. Made with paints, it captivates with a plot, natural shades. In high esteem - natural colors that will organically complement the style of Provence, rustic or ethno.

The peculiarity of this method of decoration is the need for sufficient surface area. On a small piece of the wall (as a panel), the landscape will not look complete, it seems to be snatched out of nowhere. Give the drawing a longer wall in the room. It will become the main decorative decoration of the room, under which it will be necessary to choose furniture, accessories, create lighting. A little glamorous and as sophisticated as possible!

Hide from the eyes or open to the vision: fabric drapery

Drapery with wall fabrics will bring additional peace and comfort to the room, make them as pleasant to the touch and soft as possible. A striking advantage is that there is no need to level the walls. Surfaces do not need to be processed, to get rid of cracks, chips or dents, the fabric will lie flat.

Will help fix the fabric on the wall:

  • Velcro. The innovative method of attaching the fabric to the wall is a good opportunity to change it if desired for another, as well as simple maintenance. Half of the Velcro is attached to the fabric, the second - to the wall. Join together;
  • glue. It is applied to significant areas that help mechanically fasten the fabric to the wall. This is a strip under the ceiling, near the plinth, as well as corners, door / window openings;
  • rail. Serves as a glue substitute. Installation - using special brackets.

Proper wall decoration with fabrics is the only seam. It can be closed with a fold or a ceiling plinth.


Creative fantasy, or decor using a stencil

Silhouettes of people, birds, stars, ships, flowers - yes, anything you want can be created on the wall using a stencil. It can be made independently, and its use will allow you to decorate the wall even for those who do not have an artistic gift.

The main thing here is to match the style of the interior, the forms and colors already present in it. Equally important is the functional purpose of the room. For example, abstraction, urban "landscapes", musical instruments will be relevant for a living room or hallway, if it is a minimalist, functional or high-tech style. For children's rooms, the theme of favorite cartoons, heroes will be interesting, for the bedroom - clouds, flowers, trees, and other natural "tunes".

It becomes clear that decorating the walls with your own hands is a creative process that requires not only patience and perseverance, but also a great mood.
