Wall Decorating Ideas To Help You Bring Personality To Your Vacation Property

This is simply one of the most important aspects of your interior design plan to get right - whether it’s a complete re-painting job or the addition of some well chosen pieces of art.

A few big-impact pieces of abstract art for example or one wall painted in a bright color can completely change the look and feel of a room and bring a dated property into the 21st Century.

What Are Your Favorite Wall Decorating Ideas?

When deciding what needs decorating in your vacation home, take a good look at all the walls in a room before you do anything. A really good look. Move furniture around and make a thorough inspection.

Does the whole room really need painting?

If only one part of a room needs painting, consider yourself lucky and just paint that! Worried that you won't be able to successfully match the color with the rest of the room? Just use a totally different color.
Imagine a completely white room. How different will the whole feel of the room be if you paint one wall shocking pink? Or bright red? A whole room in one of those colors might be overwhelming (and could bring on an instant migraine!) but one part of a room or feature in a bright color adds fun, impact and style.

The use of wallpaper borders is another way to add color and interest to a room with little cost and effort, and, like the subtle use of accent tile , helps you bring a bit of fun and personality to rooms where it is appropriate.

When it comes to hunting out creative wall decor at bargain prices, you simply must have a look at Ebay. I am constantly amazed at the enormous variety of items available and at such prices that it is often worth the cost of the postage from the USA to my home in England when buying unique, excellent value products.
One of my favorite wall decorating ideas is simply buying pictures to hang on your walls - a quick and easy way to add color to a room but have a look at our suggestions for different ways to hang your artwork to show it off to its best effect or make an inexpensive picture look a million dollars. I believe that getting it right with wall decorating ideas is as much to do with making the most of what you have as it is buying the right things in the first place.

Something else to bear in mind is that you will inevitably get bored with the look of your property after a while and will want to change the look and feel and give the property a fresh look every now and then. Wall decorating ideas that can be changed quickly and easily give you that flexibility. Changing one framed print for another for example, brings a new look to a room.

Top of the list when it comes to 'cheap and cheerful' has to be posters. Whatever the style or theme of your room, there will be a poster you can add to enhance it. You can really spend as much or as little as you like and it is surprising how great a cheap picture can look with the addition of a co-ordinating mount or mat and the right frame.

For a dramatic impact, you can choose from some of the fabulous, range of stunning wallpaper available now.

Have you ever thought about using maps as wallpaper? This cheap and cheerful idea can be very effective in a den or recreation room.

If you are trying to make a big impact in a room, don't forget to give Wall Murals a look.

Wall decor sometimes has a practical as well as an aesthetic purpose and it might be that occasionally you are looking for something that will cover a mark or mess on a wall without going to the expense of complete redecoration. Whether you are looking for a 'little something' to cover a dirty mark or add a bit of color to a kitchen, bathroom or games room have a look at Wall Decals - great for those of us who like our wall decor to be reversible!

As far as trends in decorating go, when it comes to wall decor that will appeal to the widest range of potential guests, contemporary, clean design is most definitely 'in'. If you are looking for impact with a contemporary twist, have a look here at some of the inexpensive abstract art available on-line. Unbeatable in my opinion for high impact, low budget decor.

Finally, don’t forget to have a look at our Create Art section for more ideas on simple, fun projects to enhance your vacation property.

Whether you choose to roll up your sleeves with a bit of decorating or give your creative side free reign to design your own master pieces - have fun!

When it comes to wall decor for a vacation property, you really need to remember that you are decorating the property for guests on vacation and not as a home you will live in.

Any decorative accents you add need to be practical and adding a lot of 'knick-knacks' that will need regular dusting will just cost you time and money in the long run.

You will probabaly be better off investing in a smaller number of big impact items rather than a lot of small, fragile dust gatherers.
