slate wall
In the hallway or kitchen, a chalk board for notes is a very useful element. But here’s the problem: in small spaces where it is sometimes impossible for two people to separate, there is a high risk that all the clothes will always be covered in chalk patterns. But this is not a reason to refuse such practical decor. Decorate the wall with slate paint that you can write on with a marker. This is not such a hackneyed move as in the case of a chalk board, and there will be no problems with dust. Drawings or inscriptions on a marker wall can be changed to suit your mood, and this is a great opportunity to make your interior a little different every day.

Mirror creative
As a rule, a mirror in the interior is considered as a functional element in which you can not only look, but also with the help of which you can improve the visual perception of space. Indeed, a mirror located in the right place visually expands the room and fills it with light, but it can also perform decorative functions. In small rooms, where any painting, photo or poster on the wall will only weigh down the interior, a mirror can act as a spectacular accent.

Choose models of unusual shapes with complex outlines or textured frames - they will fill the interior with dynamics and life. Just when choosing mirrors, do not forget that right angles make the interior more strict and respectable, while rounded shapes, on the contrary, soften it and give comfort.

Kitchen wall decor from dishes
Decorative plates in the interior are something unusual and interesting. The dishes will look good on the walls between the windows, near the wall sconces, and on the ledges.
Wall decor in the kitchen using dishes must adhere to several rules:
- The design elements of the composition should be combined not only with each other, but also with the interior design;
- The distance between the elements is equal;
- The dishes should not hang thoughtlessly; they should form a certain figure. An option is being considered when the elements are hung randomly around an object (watch, picture, mirror).
Before hanging the dishes, assemble a complete “picture” on the floor, cut out sketches from paper and pre-assemble them in the required place. This is necessary so as not to miscalculate the distance between the elements.
If you have beautiful porcelain plates, create a composition out of them or place them on hanging shelves.
Abstractions from slats
There are many budget ideas for decorating empty walls that can be easily implemented - and the result of interior decoration looks like a million! One of these ideas is creating compositions from wooden slats. They can be highlighted against the background of the wall or attached on top of the wallpaper, painted in one color. Such decoration will look impressive, interesting and expensive, despite the minimal financial costs.

Picture frame
Wall decor with empty picture frames is a current trend in Western interiors, which is not yet so popular in our country. Perhaps such decorations have not yet taken root in Russian apartments due to the fact that we are used to saving space as much as possible, and if we hang walls, we give preference to functional decor. But it turns out that an empty frame is not a useless accessory at all. You can find an original “filling” for it in the form of interesting inscriptions, a collection of business cards or a regular calendar - such an unusual accent will come in handy for any interior and will not seem cumbersome.

However, even without additional design, a set of standard picture frames looks organically in the interior. For example, from several frames you can create an original geometric group above the head of the bed, as well as in the fireplace area of the living room or in the wet area of the bathroom, where few decors can withstand a humid environment.

Lighting effects
An excellent solution for decorating narrow and small rooms with low ceilings is a light wall. It allows you to easily modify the configuration of the space and not load an already cramped room with chandeliers and lamps, while maintaining the desired level of illumination. And you can easily play with lighting effects on an empty wall: use ready-made backlit panels - and your room will be filled with original lighting effects in an instant.

How to decorate an empty wall in the kitchen?
Even in a small kitchen, where free space usually tends to zero, there is often an empty wall left, absolutely not occupied by anything. This happens because it is almost impossible, and not rational, to furnish the entire room with kitchen cabinets, shelving and shelves.
Typically, designers leave at least a small corner for the dining area, and the wall next to it is traditionally empty. Otherwise, the table will obstruct access to the lockers. The only exceptions are rooms with a bar counter under the window, and here the main decoration is the view from the window or the design of the window opening. How can you decorate the notorious empty wall, especially noticeable in close proximity to kitchen cabinets and display cases?

There are many ways to decorate one of the kitchen walls, including techniques from professional designers and DIY decor.
