Living Room Wall Design

Pay particular attention to your personal taste, your interior design style, and the lighting conditions when you choose a color for your living room wall. The color you choose must reflect your lifestyle. The living room is the main room of the house, which is why many people opt for bright, friendly, and often muted colors. Those who are more daring and want to use bold or multiple colors in the living room can use these to demarcate areas - for example, to visually separate the living room from the dining room.Wall paints are particularly a good option for friends of minimalism to design walls, as they represent a simpler variant compared to striking wall decor. Here are our top 3 color suggestions:

• Light beige or cream tones: Comfort is pre-programmed here. The color matches many different styles and furniture. It is neutral and natural, so you can really relax in the living area or create an environment rich in accents with bright furniture.
• Blue: Subdued, cold, but also strong shades of blue can - when used selectively - look royal and very noble. Caution: if the blue is too dark, the room could appear smaller. So, it's better to start with your favorite shade of blue on just one wall.Combined with bright furniture and cozy textiles, the room appears almost royal.
• Grey: Grey is a versatile color that can be used in dark shades in large rooms, as well as in small rooms - but preferably in lighter tones. The neutral color matches many styles and furnishings. Grey also works in combination with another main color.

Patterned wallpapers are the alternative or even addition to wall paint. Here you have the choice between the most varied patterns and colors. With patterned wallpapers, you mainly set accents, meaning they are only applied to one, at most two walls.We recommend not wallpapering the entire room with a striking patterned wallpaper. It appears too cluttered and takes away from the furniture's space. For example, those who prefer a black and white interior could be very happy with a black and white striped patterned wallpaper. Stripe patterns are generally very popular. They are available in various colors and stripe widths. Floral patterns, forests and seas, concrete, stone and wood looks, or color gradients are pattern trends that are experiencing a resurgence in the wallpaper world. The material also varies. From paper wallpaper to fabric or fleece - you decide which wallpaper suits you and your lifestyle best.

Without the right decoration, your wall looks empty. Wall decoration creates a focal point in the living room. There are no limits to the imagination, but you should not overdo it. With this decoration, your living room wall becomes an eye-catcher:

• Mirror or wall candle holder: Wall candle holders made of gold or silver look noble and high-quality, if that's too much, you can choose, for example, a large round mirror with a black frame.This particularly acts as a statement piece in minimalist furnished apartments.
• Shelves or Macrame: Metal shelves or trendy wallboards in contrasting colors - for example, black shelves on white walls - attract all eyes and also guarantee practical storage space. On them, additional decorative items, such as coffee table books can be placed. Whereas wall hangings made of macrame in light colors are rather reserved and underline the natural wooden furniture.
• Wooden panels: Wooden panels are among the top wall decor trends of 2022. They give the room a cool elegance, but also naturalness and warmth. In addition, they can be perfectly combined with indirect lighting.Wood panels can be combined with many styles, such as the Industrial style, the Japandi style, or the Scandi style, and blend harmoniously into the decor.
• Cornices: Cornices are not only a real eye-catcher on the ceiling, they can also frame large wall pictures on the wall or simply be mounted in a contrasting color. This way, they stand out without taking up the entire room.
• Picture frames: In general, large picture frames with black-and-white portraits, for example, are a stylish and personal addition to your living room. Whether you choose personal pictures or abstract drawings, large pictures with wooden or metal frames are trendy.You are free to decide on the arrangement, whether you prefer a precise order or a staggered arrangement that better suits your wishes.

The atmosphere in a room stands or falls with the lighting. Without light or with poor light, even the most beautiful wall color, wallpaper or wall decoration cannot have an effect. Especially the latter can be properly staged with direct or indirect lighting. Direct lighting, also known as area light, mainly has a punctual effect. With it, certain elements on the wall can be illuminated or shadowed.Glossy surfaces work particularly well in combination with direct lighting, as the light highlights the color facets of the surfaces. If you want to use direct lighting, downlights, spotlights or spots are the right choice. A floor lamp can also provide direct lighting. In contrast, there are mood lights or, more accurately, indirect lighting. It is more hidden in the room, for example behind a built-in wall, a suspended ceiling or behind the light itself. LED strips are often used, which can be particularly well attached behind wall decorations, such as wooden panels. We always recommend warm white light, it makes the living room even cozier.

When designing walls in smaller rooms, there are a few things you should pay particular attention to. Dark colors appear light-absorbing. Therefore, always prefer a lighter wall color. Colored wall surfaces with a painted frame in light colors increase the room width.Wallpapers with vertical stripes can visually give rooms with low ceilings more height. In small rooms, opt for wallpapers with smaller patterns.
