Be Creative With Contemporary Wall Decor (continued)

•Stripes - To create optical interest they can be used, whether slanted, horizontal or vertical. To give an example, an elongating effect is given by vertical narrow stripes while a room’s ceiling may appear lower with broad stripes.

•Cladding - To add a dimension to the wall that reflects light in captivating and diverse ways and invites touch, you can use materials like metal, fabric and wood.

•Paint - One can always add individual and appealing touches with specialized paint effects to detailed frescoes to solid colored feature wall.

•Wallpaper - While hiding hairline splits on the wall and creating illusion with interior space one can choose from the wallpaper of expensive specialty to traditional paper to contemporary vinyl.

•Tiles - For areas of maximum exposure to heat and water or heavy wear this is a formula, which has been tried-and-tested. To give the room dimension and texture it is usually recommended for an entire feature wall to be tiled.

•Stone - A comeback of this is being seen though a mixture of varied textures. E.g. designers prefer rough against grooved granite.

•Vinyl Text - With cutout vinyl lettering you can turn your favorite quote or poem into a wall art.
