When moving into a new home, or redecorating your current living space, instead of viewing a blank wall as a space that will take a lot of time and energy to decorate, view it as an opportunity for self-expression. The art and decorations that you display on your blank walls can provide comfort and joy to you every single day. The best part is that wall art solutions do not have to be expensive gallery pieces, but can instead be inexpensive personal, and even do-it-yourself projects.

Create a Calendar

Wall calendars can be both visually pleasing and highly functional. Instead of just pinning up a boring calendar that you pick up from a store, you can create your own DIY calendar that is the size, shape, and theme appropriate for your room. You can create your own art or use pictures that are special to you to create the calendar as well.

Focal Point

A blank wall can provide a great opportunity to introduce a new attention-grabbing focal point to a room. You can do this by hanging a piece of unusual or over-sized art. A great way to find inspiration is to visit a thrift store or an antique store to look for a vintage piece of art, or even an unusual antique or old sign that you find visually appealing and intriguing may work just as well.

Indoor Nature

By bringing elements of nature into your wall decorations, you can create a tranquil and serene living space. Framed prints of plants or insects can be an interesting and aesthetically pleasing way to enhance your wall with the beauty of the outdoors.

Documentation

Decorating a wall using maps, plans, or blueprints can create a very unique and personal look for a room as well. These documents can be plans that you purchase, or they could be plans or maps that have a personal significance to you. Either way, they will draw the eye and provide a great conversation piece in the room.

Repurpose

In a time when recycling and reusing is very popular, you can infuse this idea into very original blank wall decorating solutions. Repurposed art can be old family heirlooms, such as old serving platters, utensils or tools that have an interesting aesthetic appeal to them. Of course, only choose items that are safe to hang on a wall. You can also use the covers of old records, films, or books that you do not mind using as your wall decorations.
