One of the many conundrums while designing the living room is – what to do with the big, blank stretch of wall behind the sofa? To answer this question, we’ve put together a bunch of wall decor ideas – from mirrors, art, paints, wallpapers to even plants, here’s how to give character to this premium real estate.

1. The textured, unfinished, rustic look of the wall complements the modern beige-and-black sofa, creating a striking look. The gold-stemmed globe lamp brings a touch of life to the setup.
2. The white shelves above the sofa make unobtrusive storage and display units, leaving the indoor plants and tiny accessories as the stars of the wall, adding life to the otherwise neutral space.
3. The symmetrical wall art collage gives the space a quirky touch. It even helps the air-conditioning vent look less out of place.

4. The brick wall, punctuated by the mirror and shelf, conjures up an earthy look while the curvy sofa has modern chops – an eye-catching combination. The blue of the shelf matches that of the glass door, tying the space together.
5. The layering of blue (furniture and walls) gives the room a cool, icy effect. But the room is anything but cold: the neat grid of framed art is a warm block of character; the golden double chair rail extending from the adjoining wall to behind the sofa further warms the space.
6. The wall-hugging sofa fills the empty space under the painting and becomes the hero of the showcase unit. The two are clearly made for each other; the neutral beige of the sofa acts as an anchor for the assortment of curios on the dark-wood shelves round it.
7. The wallpapered accent wall and lots of art help liven up the area. The wall behind the pictures is the same blue as the curtain next to the sofa, and the hero picture in the array repeats the turquoise tint of the seat below.
8. The wall-to-wall sectional is complemented by the wall-to-wall bookshelf – a uniform, synchronised space thus emerges.

9. The paintings on the walls behind the sofas add a punch of colour and character to the neutral space. Note how the pale picture is behind the ivory-hued sofa, and the darker painting hangs behind the dark-blue one.
10. The intricately worked macramé curtain behind the sofa is enough to add a touch of quirk to the space.
11. A window to the world – it creates an indoor-outdoor effect and also looks like art on the wall.
12. The dark wall paint adds depth to the room and makes the purple seater and the art prints stand out.
13. The illustration-style wall gives the living room a whimsical, artistic quality.
14. Doesn’t this wall make the space look like an art gallery? Super gorgeous.
15. A flower-style mirror and the soothing mint walls complement the floral sofa.

16. The kaleidoscopic wallpaper looks even more prominent against the white sectional, creating a candy-coloured scape.
17. The green wallpapered accent wall conjures up an outdoorsy vibe, complemented by the white sofa and wooden flooring.
18. Inside a cream-hued space, the brown sofa and the flower-printed wallpaper make quite a statement.
19. The vintage-style aluminium mosaic picture shares the pink tint of the sofa and gives depth and character to the home.
