What to Do with a Blank Wall
Contributed by: My Decorating Plan: Mishanna Rischar   on 9/27/2007

Got a blank wall? Trying to figure out how to make a wall be a focal point in your room? Well, here are a few ideas that might inspire you:

*Chose a dramatic color to paint the wall - something different from your other three walls
*Hang one dramatic piece of art so that the eye will be drawn to the wall helping it to take center stage in your room
*Create a gallery wall of differing pictures, differing frame styles
*Faux finish the wall - complete with a wash to help the wall take on an old world feel
*Create a floor to ceiling wood "sculpture" and faux finish the sculpture with whatever look you desire
*Paint your wall a dramatic color and use quarter round to create "frames" around artwork that's hung on the wall
*Select a dramatic tapestry - hang it on a decorative rod, complete with coordinating tassels
*Hang display shelves at varying heights to display your unique collections
*Want to "lower" a very high wall - consider installing a dimensional crown molding at a 12' height to help center your wall
*Wallpaper is coming back - so texture your wall with grass-cloth, a silk or a faux finish wallpaper.
*Artwork isn't the only thing that will give a blank wall some pizzazz - how about displaying your antique plate collection
*Murals - either hand painted or wallpaper murals will give your wall a new fresh - and hot look!
