It may be while you want to redecorate your house or after moving into a new place and finding an empty, whitewashed wall staring back at you, begging you to do something constructive about its dressing. Following are some ideas which you may find interesting and thought-provoking. Large wall hangings, in the form of landscapes or portraits will definitely cost you dearly and you will need special lighting to illuminate them. Whether to divide the wall in four imaginary parts and decorate it with four contrasting wall murals or tapestries, or to make do with the decals or stencils is a dilemma that you need to solve. Planks Shelves? Yes, you're right about that. How about putting them in 'V' shape? This will divide the wall in three parts, upper, 'V' and the lower part. The shelves can offer plenty of room for the decorating items such as lamps, photographs, trophies and books, etc. They will certainly attract the attention of a visitor. You can also put them in an inverted 'V' shape, with the plank, largest in length at the bottom and smallest length at the top. While choosing the color and lighting, take into account the color of the wood planks, and texture. If you like to experiment with the materials, you may try using thick glass sheets instead of wood planks. Stickers Using stickers is one of the most practical ideas. With them, you don't have to spend a considerable amount of time because they are easy to work with. After a time, when you feel the need of replacing them with something more exciting, you can do so without draining your pocket. Choosing stickers is not as easy a task as it appears.

Be very choosy with the number of stickers, you will want to use. Mirrors Using mirrors; if you are interested in having an artifact constantly keeping an eye on you, reminding you, every time you look into it about your presence in your house.
