How To Beautify the Walls of Your Manchester Home

One telling sign of maturing is the satisfaction that decorating brings. So, once your Manchester home is finally displaying the signs of completion, it can really brighten your day standing back and admiring your handiwork. But, what’s that? Your eyes can’t help but zero-in on the wall staring back at you, completely naked save for a lick of paint.

Although you might be staring back at it wondering how you didn’t manage to pick up on its nakedness sooner, a blank wall can be an incredible opportunity for a homeowner. Blankness gives you creative license to do whatever you’d like and allows you to create something that is uniquely you.

Whether you’d like to turn it into a gallery wall complete with Perspex light switches so that you can really focus on the artwork there or hang a colourful wall mural – there are hundreds of ways to beautify the walls of your home. So, don’t fret! We outline several ways that you can beautify the walls of your Manchester home below:

Gallery Wall

Nothing screams beauty quite like art. But, with so many awe-inspiring pieces on the market it can be challenging to decide which piece (or pieces!) you want to incorporate into your Manchester home. So, why not scrap the decision-making, and create a gallery wall that will allow you to showcase a variety of artworks just like a mini, private art gallery display?

Whether you’d like to create a cohesive, symmetrical gallery wall or if you lean towards a more modern, contemporary style – there are no rules when it comes to designing your gallery wall. If you want to create something that truly showcases the artworks on display, you might want to consider eliminating anything that might draw people’s attention elsewhere.

Not only do wall-climbing tropical plants beautify your inside space, but they also contain several mood-boosting properties that have be known for reducing stress, improving moods, and providing other benefits. Plus, if you lead a busy life and worry that you won’t be able to provide your tropical wall-climber with the care it needs, there are ways of getting around it.

From purchasing or DIY-ing a drip irrigation system to achieving the same effect with faux plants, there are several ways to incorporate a green wall into your Manchester home without the mess and hassle that real plants produce. Either way, we’re sure that you’ll gravitate towards that corner anytime you want to admire your handiwork.

In-Wall Bar

Nothing beats the feeling of returning home after a long, hard day at work and unwinding on the couch. Once you’ve ridded yourself of your work uniform, two of the best accompaniments to your after-work relaxation routine is the television and an alcoholic beverage, the need of which is accelerated in those who find work particularly stressful.

After a long day the last thing you want to do is go to a bar for a little pick-me-up, when you could easily indulge in the comfort of your home by turning your naked wall into a cosy little bar nook. Whether you choose to keep it simple by using a colourful cabinet or prefer a little luxe by adding extras like a marble countertop – you can keep your scullery bar as simple or complex as you wish.

If you want to go the extra mile, you could consider adding additional accessories to make your mini bar feel more like your local like wine racks, coolers, neon signs, and other bar accessories that will accelerate your after-work drinks and your relaxation efforts too! Plus, it’s something that can be used as opposed to being admired which is a good talking point with guests.

Bookshelf Wall

If you’re an avid reader, there’s a chance that you’ve dreamed about having your own library like the iconic scene in the Disney classic ‘Beauty and The Beast’. The good news is that you can! Admittedly it won’t be as swanky as Belle’s but with a little creativity you can soon transform your bare wall into a cosy reading nook for you to curl up near.

Whether you install a traditional bookcase with a built-in sliding ladder or install several floating shelves which will give your makeshift library a modern look – there are several ways you can experiment with to create a bookshelf wall that looks like it’s been plucked from the depths of a storybook. Now all that’s left is to curl up on an armchair, with a good book and a hot beverage!
