Dress That Wall: Wall Decor Ideas For Your Home

<p>It is often said that good food and a warm kitchen are what makes a house a home. Also called the heart of a home, kitchens are where families and friends come together and bond over food, conversations, parties and more.  “Indians enjoy eating homemade food, so a lot of time is spent in the kitchen. Considering that, it is important for this space to be happy and inviting and a place that does not make cooking feel like a chore.  Kitchens have been ignored in terms of aesthetics in India till quite recently as they were considered as purely functional spaces. But that is changing now, and kitchens are getting a welcome makeover with people also including a family sitting area in their kitchen for shorter mealtimes” says Eshita Marwah, interior designer, founder /e.  </p><h2>Colour: A cardinal aspect of design</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Pic%20credit_Aprajita%20Bhargava%20Bhasin%20%284%29_1669809797086.jpg"></figure><p>There is little doubt that colour is one of the most important aspects in the design and décor of any space. Colours have the power to uplift your mood and spirits and brighten up your day.  And given that the kitchen is one of the most significant spaces in a home, the use of colours plays a key role in making your kitchen unique and personal. </p><p>“Every kitchen is personalised to the unique palette of the owner and colours unify the entire aesthetics as well as the functionality of design while adding vibrance to the entire space” says Giulia Baima Bollone, business head – Embassy Interiors. Also, when it comes to colour, there is plenty of scope to introduce them to your kitchen apart from just the walls and this includes the flooring, cabinets, countertops and even fittings like taps and sinks. </p><p>AlsoRead0</p><p>“Use colours judiciously in your kitchen.  If the main cooking area is heavily used and the stove top region is used frequently for deep frying, avoid too many colours there. Instead, add colour around the pantry unit or even the breakfast nook. Today laminates come in a plethora of colours and finishes ranging from glossy to matte and simple to distressed. Even if you prefer solid wood cabinets, there is a large range of paint finishes to give the space a bright finish. Countertops offer exciting colours too like natural hues of marble, granite quartz and onyx to engineered stone that come in contemporary shades of blue, grey, green and even gold” says Aprajita Bhargava Bhasin, COO and interior consultant - East Lifestyle, CEO - The Stage Prop.  </p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Pic%20credit_Embassy%20Interiors%20%281%29_1669809808671.jpg"></figure><h2>Colour schemes galore</h2><p>A muted palette such as beige and white will evince a bright and inviting modular kitchen. A mix of white walls and wooden cabinets (in light walnut or oak shades) or that of light tone walls with shades of either navy blue or grey in cabinets is always a classic combination with the countertops usually being either black or white.  “A combination of whites with blush and plum tones, dark blue with light grey, and even sage with an oak finish are some schemes that are in vogue. These tones add an element of character and make the kitchen stand out even when playing it safe,” adds Bhasin. She further adds that light or dusty pink with tones of orange is another combination that exudes fresh and lively vibes. Sky blue walls with marigold yellow tiles as a backsplash of the kitchen countertop is a scheme that gives your kitchen distinct Caribbean feels and is rich, welcoming, and warm.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Pic%20credit_Nayan%20Soni%20%281%29_1669809843887.jpg"></figure><p>In the case of a well-lit and ventilated kitchen spread around ample ground, dark interiors like crimson red and cobalt blue are good choices. “The choice of red in the kitchen is a powerful move as it brings zest and excitement into the space adding a powerful contrast to almost any colour in the palette.  Use this shade in a lacquer glass island or even in the flooring and it makes the perfect style statement in a contemporary set up,” suggests Bollone. She further adds that earthy tones and the warmth of wood and stone, along with the rich patina of various metals always combine to set a harmonious mood. While monochromatic (black, white and grey)kitchens and metallic hues are a trend, olive green hues amalgamated with textured walnut wood and even milky latte or spiced vanilla shades emanate refreshing feels. </p><p>AlsoRead1</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Pic%20credit_Suleiman%20Merchant%20%281%29_1669809876613.jpg"></figure><h2>Trends, cues and tips</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Pic%20credit_Eshita%20Marwah%20%283%29_1669809826243.jpg"></figure><p>As always, be cautious of mixing too many colours and textures. Table linen, art and accessories are also a good idea to add a pop of colour. Lighting is crucial factor that helps accentuate the overall look of your kitchen with brushed gold, bronze, and black being some of the trendy hues. </p><p>“While graphic marble backsplashes, glazed, vibrant tiles and printed floors are some of the trends that are expected to dominate next year, it is always important to keep things functional. The kitchen colours can be an extension of the colour theme of the rest of the home, or a contrasting, more colourful combination with just one colour picked from the theme of the house," says Marwah.  </p><p>Getting ergonomics right is of utmost importance which means sharp edges, handles and knobs are a big no. “Cabinetry in hues of burgundy and Bordeaux with a wooden countertop with black and white flooring, an all-black kitchen with a white countertop with grey veining and white marble flooring and brown and white chequered flooring with off white cabinetry and brick wall cladding are some of the few palettes we look forward to exploring in the next year,” say Iesha Parekh Shellugar and Sneha Talati, co-founders and principal partners, Tap Design Inc.</p>

Kitchens today are much more than just functional spaces and are perfect to experiment with colours giving them a welcome makeover.

7 Under-Bed Storage Ideas To Save Space In Your Bedroom

<p>The heart and soul of a house is its bedroom. We spend our most intimate moments relaxing in the bedroom. When it reflects our personality, it helps to put our mind at ease after a long day. Whether you spend your entire day in the room or use it to get your basic eight hours of sleep, when it comes to bedroom decoration, there is no denying that comfort is non-negotiable.</p><p>So, if you’re looking for bedroom decor ideas, go with the trends that make you tick. Our guide on bedroom decoration caters to whimsical print lovers, opulent colour aficionados, modern mavericks and grounded traditionalists. Whatever your style, you’ll find something here that is in sync with your modern Indian bedroom.</p><p><strong>6 Stunning Bedroom Decoration Ideas</strong></p><h2>1. Muted Monochrome</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_1_1667978878231.jpg"></figure><p>Bored of the same bedroom decorating ideas in the market? Instead, creatively incorporate soothing monochrome colours throughout the bedroom and work your accent pieces along the way. And what better than charcoal grey to do the job? An airy bedroom that lets in ample sunlight and fresh air will never feel ‘dark’ despite being on the darker end of the colour palette. Use natural elements of wood with grey to balance the room for cleaner aesthetics.</p><h2>2. Earthy Hues</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_2_1667978884149.jpg"></figure><p>When in doubt, pick bedroom decoration ideas that manage to make the space feel lighter and brighter. Exuding cosy vibes, a beige bed with matching walls and sheer curtains in a modern layout elevates natural light seeping through the window. The use of a statement emerald throw and an elegant night lamp adds glamour to an otherwise soft space.</p><p>AlsoRead0</p><h2>3. Opulent Fabrics  </h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_3_1667978892935.jpg"></figure><p>Opulent fabrics are a status symbol when it comes to bedroom designs in India. The use of maroons, magenta and gold with vintage wooden furniture lends a refined elegance to the space. For some, these colours might be too gaudy, but if they bring solace to you, who cares? A point to remember when playing with loud colours is to balance them out with solids like white. A white bedspread with contrasting cushions and an exquisite silk runner will create a happy space to come back to.</p><h2>4. Bohemian Vibes</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_4_1667978899293.jpg"></figure><p>If you’re a bright, happy soul looking for bedroom decor ideas that match your vibrant personality, use the bohemian trick. A mix of whites with bold prints and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://zeezest.com/homes/indoor-plants-for-bedroom-air-purifying-plants-for-bedroom-zee-zest-1359">Indoor Plants For Bedroom</a> will breathe life into your space. Jewel tones of green and blue add a focal point to the room and create a moody boho vibe. A stand-alone printed pouffe and a life-sized mandala printed sheet hanging behind the couch will take the aesthetics of the room from an eight to a solid ten. While our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://zeezest.com/homes/10-effective-storage-ideas-for-a-small-bedroom-1726">bedroom shelf ideas</a> will add to the storage space without making the area look cluttered.</p><h2>5. Modern Driblets </h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_5_1667978905717.jpg"></figure><p>Simple room decoration with modern aesthetics is a great way to incorporate character into a bedroom. If you are a millennial with a liking for modern statements and elegant silhouettes, try the one-wall glam idea. Pick a single wall in the room and paint it a colour of your choice. The use of green with white and blush pink is a unique colour scheme that can transform a bland bedroom to cosy and bright. Statement pendant lamps and a chic floor rug will take things up a notch.</p><p>AlsoRead1</p><h2>6. Minimalistic Glam  </h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_6_1667978912673.jpg"></figure><p>If you are an extrovert who loves brazen blacks and striking golds but not as much as Bappi Da, this cocoon-like minimalist bedroom decoration will check all your boxes. A lavishly spacious room done in dark tones of black and deep brown exude a charismatic charm to the space when paired with striking gold elements. The play of modern yellow lights against a beige and gold wall and a white-gold panelled wardrobe will uplift your design scheme.</p><p>AlsoRead2 </p><p>These 6 bedroom decoration ideas will help you navigate your thoughts into actionable reality.

<p>If you are someone who loves decorating your home, there is nothing more inviting than a blank wall. Plain windowless walls are indeed the perfect canvas to unleash one’s creativity while adding colour, pattern and texture to your home’s interiors. “As the biggest surface area in any room, walls have a huge impact while offering some of the easiest and most affordable ways to refresh your home. When it comes to turning your home’s blank canvases into masterpieces, there is no denying the wow effect of great wall art. From nature-inspired images to modern geometrics, quirky art to classic prints, interesting wall décor pieces are a quick way to jazz up a room without adding unnecessary clutter,” says Astha Khetan, Founder and CEO, The House of Things.  </p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Pic%20courtesy_Mason%20Home1%20%283%29_1667561277446.jpg"><figcaption>© Mason Home </figcaption></figure><p>There is no doubt that wall décor is also a great way to tie the elements of your space together and elevate the style quotient of your room. "If the walls in your home are light-coloured, a pop of colour in the form of an art piece or wall plate adds character to your space. Muted wall colours can be complemented with wall mirrors framed in gold accents or family pictures set in gold hanging frames,” says Chirag Vora, Founder, Mason Home.</p><p>AlsoRead0  </p><h2>Ideas galore</h2><p>Wall décor is an extremely versatile element of interior décor and styling. From mirrors, photographs, artwork, wallpaper, wall sculptures and wall lamps to digital art prints, murals, wall decals, wall clocks and wall plates, there are several ways to deck up plain walls. It is key to note that the styling of the walls in your home depends on a number of factors like the basic décor aesthetic of your home, the size and colour palette of the room, the colour of the wall and your own personality.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_The-Plated-Project-Through-the-windows_Available_at_the_house_of_things_1667561310644.jpg"><figcaption>The Plated Project wall plates available at The House of Things</figcaption></figure><p>Mirrors are a great idea when you are working with a small space. They help to reflect light and create the illusion of spaciousness. While wall plates are the perfect choice if you want to add a pop of colour to your room. They are available in a plethora of patterns and designs like Mexican pottery plates, Moroccan-style plates, blue pottery plates as well as ceramic plates in bright colours and vibrant prints. If you travel often, pick up wall plates as souvenirs from the places you visit and create a gallery wall at home. It’s the perfect way to relive your travel memories.<i> </i>“Hanging wall frames with pictures of your loved ones and of milestone life moments is yet another way to add a personal touch to walls. Installing paintings from your favourite artist is another excellent way to elevate the glam quotient of your room and can act as a conversation starter,” says Vora.  </p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_LAGO%20WALL%20MIRROR%20GOLD_BY%20WHITE%20DOMUS_Available_at_the_house_of_things_2_1667561325021.jpg"><figcaption>Lago gold wall mirror by White Domus available at The House of Things</figcaption></figure><p>Customized wall murals and metal accents are also good options to create a statement wall.  Pop art, digital prints, geometric colourful prints and retro-style or vintage images are again an ideal choice if your décor style is boho chic. If you are a fan of the country house style or even minimalistic décor, frames of cityscapes or dried flowers and leaves pressed and framed in wood lend a warm vibe to the space. Walls are a wonderful platform to showcase your hobbies whether painting, embroidery or quilling which you can frame and display.  </p><p>AlsoRead1</p><h2>Key wall decor trends</h2><p>Several types of wall décor have been in vogue recently:</p><ol><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Neon signs, textiles and tapestries are being used to add a unique spatial dimension to walls.</span></li><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Tactile textures always add depth, warmth and cosiness to the room.</span></li><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">While ceramic plates are a universal favourite.</span></li><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Creating your own gallery with a mix of frames, artwork and pictures never goes out of style. Group them together aesthetically to maintain spatial balance and you are sure to have an Instagram-worthy gallery wall!</span></li></ol><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Monalisha_BY%20WHITE%20DOMUS_Available_at_the_house_of_things_4_1667561363630.jpg"><figcaption>Monalisha by White Domus available at The House of Things</figcaption></figure><p>“Mixing lighter and darker palettes when it comes to picture frames is gaining popularity with a lot of residential and public spaces of late. It adds texture, drama and depth that 2-D wall art cannot bring. Traditional textiles, patchwork, rugs and even old costumes are going to be big in the next year. The combination of texture and colour hits just the right notes and makes it interesting,” notes Khetan. Another trend that is picking up in the wall art space is using frames of different sizes placed next to one another, often crafted out of wood or low-profile metal frames in grey and black which gives a nice contrast against the vibrant wall art inside of each of them.</p><p>While trends change with every season, it is key to remember that like everything else wall décor should reflect your personal style. Keep track of where the light falls best and use that wall to deck up with art or frames you love. Use ambient lighting to highlight your wall décor and never underestimate the power of elegant framing.</p>

Wall decoration is the perfect way to give the blank walls in your home a quick makeover while infusing character into your space.
