Living room is not only the place where you fall on the couch and turn on the TV. Here from time to time there are strangers: a neighbor, a school friend of your child, the mother, finally. They all (unconsciously) draw conclusions about you on your interior. So give them cause for reflection — make wall unusual. Here are three dozen ideas for decorating wall in living room.

1. Textile panels
Panels of fabric — warm and tactile alternative to the usual paintings and posters.

Message to the world on the wall you can even leave with an unusual bookshelves — as in the example in the photo.

7. The mirror behind bars
Living in the village of Trouville for a photo with the project Vladislava Grabchikov of Desatori. Here we see the mirror panels is another technique as it can be interesting to decorate the wall. Typically, these panels are used to create the impression of perspective and relieve the pressure of a blank wall. However, “naked” mirror looks boring and cold. To make it more interesting you can use a graphic grid of MDF.

14. Black walls and a frieze with bas-reliefs
The host of this Moscow apartment is a great lover of painting and photography. For him the decoration of the walls in the living room began with the redevelopment: to place all the paintings and photographs, required open space. Living in this project occupies half the space of the apartment. Black wall color was the best for the organization of the gallery: it unites all works of art and not distracting.
