There are more than a few ways to decorate your home space, and especially living room – where the “living” takes place. It is fair to say that living room is the heart of the home and where most people spend the most time in around the house. It is also where you host all your guests and the “first impression” your guests will get from your home. Even designers pay so much attention in living room design in Singapore.
Naturally, living room is also the home decoration spot light. The design of your living room often sets the tone of the design of your entire home. Some people go out to the wild and hunt a buck (In places where it’s legal with proper license and permission) and bring home its head to hang on the wall in the living room, some people spend big bucks and make a fireplace out of one of the living room walls.
And some people, unfortunately, maxed out their decoration budget after that last set of basic furniture.
That doesn’t make it a lost cause though, sure, you could stare at the empty walls in your living room at your brand new home and be absolutely happy, but every now and then, freshen it up a little will give your living room, and even your entire home a brand new vibe. The best part about this is: You don’t have to go hunt buck (And let’s not forget, get the permit for it and all that.), neither do you have to import the most exotic foreign designer piece just to mix things up a little. (With that said, there are also local designer pieces in Singapore for your living room, consult your interior designer and see how you can incorporate those into your “very Singapore” living room design.).
The truth is; and this might surprise you – Sometimes it takes very little to freshen things up! This, of course, also applies to living room design. Sometimes all it takes is just a little bit of wall art.
Yes, wall art. It might not look like much, but it does make a huge. But don’t take my words for it, see it for yourself:

While it is already a colorful living room with a strong vibe, the simple wall arts that go with the color theme really brings the living room to live.
And of course, it works really well with the classic white wall as well:

While changing apartments frequently is not really something people do for a variety of reasons, using wall-art to freshen it up and giving your living room and the home space and brand new vibe is not only effective, but also vey budget friendly, if you’re a very hands-on person, you can even choose to do it yourself! And because its budget friendly nature, you can even update your themes by the season or as often as you like!
For a city as hot as Singapore, living room designs often tend to be on the “minimalist” side with white walls to create a spacious and cooling vibe, which is a great strategy. However, a little tweak here and there on the wall does wonders to lighten up the mood and if you choose to do it yourself, you might just get a kick out of it as well!
Don’t worry about it if you don’t have an art degree, while paintings are a popular choice of wall art, it is not the only choice. Take this lady for example, she completely steps up her wall art game and created this elegance looking wall art using plastic spoons!
