Living room wall décor ideas for your home
Looking for living room wall décor ideas? You’ll find lots of tips here about how to use pictures, lighting, display shelves and more. They’ll help you give your home a personal look that you’ll love, without spending too much time or money.
Getting started on a picture wall
A big, blank wall can maybe feel a bit overwhelming. But you can start just with one or two pictures and then add more whenever you want. Why not have a mix of posters, prints and your kids’ drawings, with different sizes and colours of frames, like here?
Two calm ways to display
An easy idea for a big wall is to choose prints that go well together and use frames of about the same size. The feeling is harmonious and it’s especially effective in an area that people walk through. Another calming idea for any big wall is to use a single large picture.
Showing off your favourite things
These cabinets let you create an exciting, personal display, as well as giving you storage. Cabinets with doors add variety and can make things look calmer. It’s easy to mix in pictures, too. You get a fun, three-dimensional effect – especially with cabinets and picture frames of different depths.
Take a look at mirrors
Mirrors are also something to keep in mind when you’re looking for living room wall décor ideas. They can make your room look bigger, give you interesting effects with reflected light and round ones like these add a different shape, too.
Art that suits your style
Why not decorate with posters that you love, and that match and strengthen the look in your room? Here the colours in the posters coordinate with the furniture and table lamp, creating almost a new work of art.
Dynamic décor with lighting
You can get some lovely effects by combining different elements, like the pictures, mirror and lighting shown here. The bulbs hang from the ceiling at different distances from the wall. You can even dim them and change their colours with a remote control, letting you create a new look and mood in an instant.
Art with less effort
With ready to hang art, you don’t need to think about finding suitable frames and putting the pictures into them. It’s like taking a short cut when you’re decorating your living room walls.
Easy ways to make a smaller picture wall
One option is to get a set of posters and frames. The motifs are coordinated and they come with a template to help you place them in a collage. Or get a set of collage frames or just some matching frames and add your own pictures. Another idea is to get one large frame and put your choice of pictures into it.
How to decorate the wall behind your TV
These days, storage for tech boxes and maybe gaming things is a must. Here, one idea makes storage – and the favourite objects, books and so on that it holds – the star. The other idea is a collage effect with a wall-mounted TV, posters and wall decorations framed by shelves on top and storage below.
Easy to do, easy to change
Another way to show art, photos or your favourite objects is to use shelves or picture ledges. You can display a lot without needing to make a lot of holes in the wall. Plus, it’s easy to update things whenever you want.
Getting the décor up on the living room walls
You can find lots of easy-to-use tools and more at IKEA stores and on this website to help you get your pictures and decorations up on your walls. And just like our artworks and frames, they won’t cost you a fortune.
