Amazing Decorative Wall Covering Ideas for your living room
An empty wall is like a blank slate and there are limitless possibilities on how to fill that slate. A lot of people think they only have the option of painting their walls with either emulsion or satin paint, even the easiest wallpaper option doesn't even come to mind. Wall treatment options are enormous but we’ll just elaborate on a few beautiful, affordable, easy designs. But before then, your choice of wall treatment is determined by a few things that's if money is not a problem. You need to consider the purpose of the space, what part of the house is it? your personal design style, the design of your home etc. These will be elaborated upon some other time, for now, let's see the wall treatment ideas you can incorporate to your home to make it stylish and luxurious.
8 Beautiful Wall Treatment Ideas
1. Wall decals: this is very similar to wall murals but they are different in certain ways. Decals are often printed on a vinyl adhesive material and pasted on the wall. This is often a more temporary design and is used on smaller wall areas. Wall decals are more like stickers and can be in small pieces or a single large piece. This wall treatment is good for lounges, restaurants, offices and some parts of the home. You can have custom designs and sizes made to cover whatever space you want. Decals don't need any form of maintenance, it is relatively cheap and can also be installed by yourself and maybe with the help of a friend.
2. 3d panels: 3d panels are decorative wall designs that come in various board designs and appear 3 dimensional. They are usually made of either plastic or fibre material and it is not a permanent wall treatment. Although it may not be removed like peel and stick wallpaper it is still removable. It could also be a permanent design as well but the material has to be cast with POP material. This style is a lot more expensive than the regular 3d panel boards. 3D panels also has a faux leather design and it comes in different colours. I particularly love this for the bedroom as it can also serve as a large headboard when you can't have the upholstery headboard. 3D panels are easy to install and you can do it yourself if you are a handy person like me.

4. Murals: a mural is any piece of art painted or applied directly to the wall and this can be indoor or outdoor. There are certain types of murals that have a 3d realistic look and those are sold in square meters too but a lot more expensive. Murals serve as accents most of the time, it can't be used on the entire wall in a room because it would appear too heavy and classless. The purpose of the space and interior design style will determine the kind of mural that should be installed. Not every mural has to be an image, some could be simple texts and fewer images.

7. Wood paneling: this is a whole different mood!! Wood paneling has been in existence since the ’60s and ’70s and it remains trendy to this moment. There are different types of wood paneling and it kind of gives a space a different look, a kind of mild luxurious look because it's not a cheap wall treatment option for everyone. This wall treatment can appear very masculine and dark. Although this would not be my go-to wall-treatment option for personal preferences but it's beautiful and there are times and in certain designs when this would be perfect. Wooden panels can be used all through a room or they can be used to accent single or multiple areas in a room. Wooden panels come in different designs and shades, they add some architectural details to your design. This wooden panel wall treatment makes a lot of statement in any space. Note that whatever wood you are using has to be properly treated to avoid termite infestation.
8. Fluted panel: This is a new trend of wall treatment and it seems to be catching on real quick. It seems to be a replacement for the wooden panel Tv wall/ console. Fluted panels are a linear design made of engineered composites with a natural wood finish. It gives them the appearance and texture of natural wood while also being water-resistant and termite and mould repellent. They come in different natural colours but can be painted. This is way cheaper than wooden panels and the good thing is it can be installed yourself DIY, no prior expertise is required as long as you have your tools.
