5 DIY Statement Wall Ideas That Don’t Break the Bank

Statement walls add instant interest to a home and offer an opportunity to leave your personal signature on a room. Usually placed at the focal point of a room, the bold design adds a unique style to any space. But, don’t be intimidated. Even apparently complex statements can be done by home décor amateurs. Whether you go big or small, there are many easy ways to add this trend to your own home, without breaking the bank. Here are five ways to spice up your space.

Gallery Wall

Turn your living room into a living gallery by mixing and matching different sizes, styles, and shapes of frames. This creates a unique design feature to your home and is a beautiful way to frame both memories and art. Starting with the largest piece in the middle, spread framed art or pictures out in either direction, and fill the wall with a collage of images in a puzzle-like fashion.

Mirror Wall

Like the gallery wall, this is a unique design feature to have. But instead of photographs or art, try using mirrors! Limit the number of mirrors to under 10 and find unique shapes and sizes to fill the wall with, putting them together in a cohesive way. To take your mirror wall to the next level, use statement mirrors of all sizes. Pro tip: mix and match styles from the gallery and mirror walls for more variety.

Wall Paper

Wall paper is back, but not in the traditional ways of the 20^th century. Only placing wall paper on one wall is a creative way to decorate without nails or screws. Traditional wallpaper can be a hassle with all the glue and getting all the air bubbles out, but stick-on wall paper isn’t! These giant sticker-like wallpaper sheets can be applied easily, and come in a variety of patterns, textures, and colors creating a unique statement to any room.

Solid Color Paint

The simplest way to add a statement wall to any space is to paint one wall a different color than the rest of the room. This can be done in a complimentary way by painting one wall in the room the same basic color as the other walls, but a few shades darker. However, if you’re seeking a more contrasting, creative look try a completely different color for an eclectic look.

Stencils

The most cost-effective and efficient way to create a statement wall is by using the wall color you already have and simply adding a pattern to it by using stencils. There are endless craft stencil designs, or you can make your own template. One stencil can fill an entire wall with a stylish pattern easily, and gives you the freedom to make your statement wall one-of-a-kind.
