Four original ways to make your blank walls come alive with personality, without breaking the bank.

When you add a colourful display to a plain white wall it lifts your spirits. But take a pass on the prints and posters you see everywhere. Here, STYLE AT HOME shows you four original ways to make your blank walls come alive with personality – without breaking the bank.

What could be more beautiful than dining beneath a shower of flowers? Use a sewing needle to thread flower heads (we used carnations) and greenery onto jewelry cord. For lasting glamour, opt for fabric flowers. Hang garlands using clear thumbtacks.






Love letters
Pick a word and experiment with different typefaces and colours on your computer. Use repositionable spray adhesive to affix each printed letter to a piece of MDF backed with two one- by one-inch wood strips. Hang using picture-hanging hardware. Use this technique to display enlarged photos of flowers, pets, people or architectural details.
