What does your home mean to you? Is it simply a place to rest your weary head or is it an escape from the hustle and bustle of life outside? Are you a home body or a social butterfly? Are you on your own or do you share your home with room mates or loved ones?
When you look at the four walls around you, what do you see? Would you like to see more of yourself reflected back? If so, the trick is to take some time and think through wall decoration ideas that are as unique as you are.
When reflecting on our homelife, we’re essentially reflecting on who we are. Homes are as special and unique as the people who live in them. Those four walls give us a sense of belonging; a place of safety and release from the pressures of the world outside. At home, we can be ourselves. We can be as tactful or as tactless as we like. We can let down our inhibitions and express our true selves without the judgement of those outside who may not truly understand us.
“The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.” – Maya Angelou
Letting our hair down at home doesn’t necessarily mean creating a big mess and learning to love living with it. Everyone lets their hair down in different ways. Some of us like our homes minimalist, neat and ‘just right’. Others are completely at home with ornament and decoration as far as the eye can see. And many of us sit somewhere in between. No matter where you sit on the spectrum, taking the time to decorate your home is an expression of who you are.
The 13 wall decoration ideas we’ve decided to feature will make you love coming home, over and over again. Not all of the ideas are for everyone, but you will find one or two that are right for you or inspire you to alter to better suit your unique sense of style. Don’t like rug beaters? Use whisks!

See what I mean now about creating a home that reflects who you are? If you love a visual feast, create a photo gallery. If you love simplicity, pick one colour (like the green above), stop by our online gallery and build a feature wall of colourful art. If you have a passion or a fun hobby, source some of your favourite things and mount your collection on a wall. Whatever it is, make it something you’ll love coming home to.
