12 Tips to Fill the Space With Style

Decorating a Big Wall in a Small Room 

Paint is the easiest and most affordable way to decorate a big wall in a small room. Create an accent wall with a dark and moody color behind the bed that will add depth that makes the room feel more spacious.

Use texture to decorate a big wall in a small room. Think wood paneling like board and batten or shiplap, brick tile veneer, decorative tile, or a textured finish.

Hanging wallpaper is an easy way to decorate a big wall in a small room. Don’t be afraid to choose a colorful motif like an oversized floral or a bold geometric pattern. Just keep the rest of your decor minimal enough so that the pattern doesn’t overwhelm.

Decorating Large Walls in Open-Plan Spaces

Wall decor can help you define zones in an open-concept room. Break up the space with color-blocking that can focus the eye or make a room with tall ceilings feel more grounded. 

Paint the largest wall in a complementary or contrasting color to define a seating or dining area. Hang wallpaper to create a focal point. Add built-ins to define a reading corner, a fireplace wall, or a TV wall. 

You can use the same accent paint color in various corners for a harmonious look or vary colors, patterns, and finishes for a more eclectic feel.
