When you first buy a new house or apartment, you immediately want to immediately fill it up with furniture. You get a comfy couch, nice table, sturdy TV console, and throw a couple of colorful pillows on the couch. You’re so busy getting the basics, that you notice your walls are still bare. The “minimalistic” excuse can only go so far before people start to get concerned.
Here at The Furniture Mall, we have plenty of accessories and décor to fill up those blank spaces and make your home look like a home, and not an empty cell. From art to wall shelves, here are 5 different ways to decorate that blank wall in your home that has become an eyesore.
1. Wall Mirrors
Mirrors are not just for vanity, they’re great at adding dimension and depth to empty spaces. Decorating with mirrors also works well when you want more light reflected in a room. Place your mirror opposite a bright window and illuminate your space with beautiful natural lighting. Mirrors come in all shapes and sizes as well, so you can make a soft statement with a small circular mirror, or a bold statement by hanging a large, elegant mirror. Just don’t get too distracted while checking yourself out.

2. Wall Shelves
Wall shelves are perfect for storing those extra items you have laying around, that you want to show-off, but have nowhere to put them. A family photo, that succulent you’re proud of, a set of your favorite book series; displaying objects that make you happy, breathes life into a room. Wall shelves also don’t have to be simple, wooden shelves. You can get several pieces in a set and arrange them on the wall to add dimension to your display. If you add items that show off your personality or stick to a more cohesive look that brings your room together, wall shelves are the perfect choice to fill up that blank wall.

3. Framed Art
Gallery walls are satisfying to look at, but it’s difficult to gather all the right pieces for the right price. Cut some corners and buy some framed art, to complement the colors and overall aesthetic of your room. Art easily can become the focal point of your wall, so choose something that you feel brings out the other pieces of your room. Buy a large painting, if you want to take up more space and not bother figuring out a design plan. Get a set of paintings and space them apart to cover more ground. Go with whatever draws you in, whether it be a large canvas of a Texas Longhorn, or a small portrait of a plant.

4. Clocks
In this day and age, we have our smartphones and smartwatches, that graciously let us know the time. Gone are the days of the clock, a staple in every home at one point. This doesn’t mean that you can’t use one as a decoration. The designs of clocks are timeless in their structure. They’re sculptures that everyone understands. You may not use them to tell the time, but you can use them to convey a stylish and vintage feel to any blank wall.

5. Wall Sconces
You don’t have to live in a medieval castle to own a wall sconce. They’re versatile accents, that provide light and accentuate other accessories on your wall. Align them or stagger them. Use them to frame that large portrait on your wall. Wall sconces bring warmth, and elegance to a room, and will absolutely stand out as a striking piece of furniture in your home.
