Shimmering Wall
Since I work from home, and spend nearly ten hours a day in my office, it’s crucial for me to keep the decor inspiring and fun. The pink walls help brighten things up (I used Benjamin Moore’s “Romantic Pink”), but I had a huge space that had been left empty since we moved in. It was too large (and expensive) to fill with art, so I decided to try something a little different. I had been lusting after Confetti System’s Tassel Garland for a while and finally bought one for myself. It creates such a playful, whimsical feel and brings the entire space to life.
Do you have any tips for decorating large, empty walls?

This is really pretty… I’ve been looking for the big photobooth type paintings for the wall as see in The Joneses…. very cool and perfect for decorating large empty wall spaces!

Looks so cool:) I truly adore your idea:)

Ps: I am hosting a beautiful Garnish party supplies GIVEAWAY
…Just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Wow – it is like a disco wall!
I love your blog and inspirational finds. I love filling walls with framed vintage maps of places I have been with my boyfriend and friends/family (although provokes day dreaming of happy memories so beware it causes a great distraction!)
Happy Thursday

What a cute idea! I’ve been wanting to frame old Vogue covers and hang a bunch on a large wall in my apt.
That’s such a gorgeous and unique way of filling up space! I agree with the comment above! Vintage maps sounds like such a good idea. Definitely going to be stealing that idea for future reference!
That is such a great idea!!

How very pretty
I usually save up and buy a print I like – it takes time but I am slowly filling my house with images I love. At the moment I have my eye on an old wartime rationing poster. One of the cheapest was some old sheet music I found from the 30s, which I got put into an old frame I alreadty had. The whole thing cost less than £10.

I love the garland! As for any tips, I have always wanted a huge map of the world, possibly as a plaque or a mural in non-traditional colors (grays and beige, for example).
I definitely have the same problem~ a large empty wall, but it’s in my kitchen. My plan is to buy two floating shelves from Pottery Barn and do a gallery wall, with art (mostly from etsy with my budget), personal photos, etc. in mismatched frames leaning against the wall. Other small pieces and objets will be on the depth of the shelves to complete the look. It’s my New Years resolution but I haven’t quite started yet! You’ve inspired me though! The garland is darling.
oooooh love it… It’s so beautiful

Advice for decorating huge empty walls: Simplicity sometimes does the trick. I use for myself a guide of “less is more.” I hung a small canvas on an open space wall. The painting itself was very detailed, bright and inspiring. It was enough for that big spacious wall I had in my last apartment. Try it out and let me know if it works for your office!
I remembered this was featured on SterlingStyle.blogspot.com are you both related by chance because you both have the same style. I love this idea though!!!
That’s so pretty I love it. As Jovian says “less is more” and this is beautiful garland is simple but effective!

hi dear. just found your blog through the bloglovin awards.
about decorating the walls– this looks really nice. i usually do it with photos hanging like that . but a friend of mine has her wall covered with scarves- which i also love
hope you’re having a good week
congrats on your nomination!
xx
that’s a really good idea. i’ve been trying to redecorate and move things around in my room too.
http://www.petiteandhungry.blogspot.com
This is such a great idea… looks beautiful!! I like to fill big, empty walls with things that looks lovely but aren’t pricey at all. I have a large map of Paris that does the trick. But these are perfect!

Oh, I love this idea! The sparkle is perfection and it looks fab against the pale pink. I like medium-sized framed prints and photos arranged in a clean shape on empty walls.

I’d never thought about decorating a wall this way before! (But let me tell you, it looks gorgeous!)
For big empty walls I would either hang a big piece of art (maybe not an original at first, but a good print does the trick for the time), or a lot of pictures (of something you like, be it out of a book, magazine or your own photography) of the same size put in the same frames hung next and above eachother (make a big square), or floating shelves. I love Jovians idea too though!
This is such a great idea to create a fun environment! To decorate a large, empty wall I had in my bedroom, I bought really cute, hand- painted towel hangers and hung my necklaces from them. So my jewelry collection hangs in my empty space =)
Miyan
http://www.miyan-overseas.blogspot.com
That’s a great idea and I have to agree it looks great against the pale pink walls. For inexpensive wall decoration I like to use framed mirrors, prints and pictures of different sizrs arranged in an almost organized collage.
http://www.fashionofmysoul.blogspot.com
Ah, this is actually really cute!!
http://pearlsandpolitics123.blogspot.com/
Cute! A long shelf could work too with lots of books and small details on a large wall.
Milana from http://fashionstyleadvice.com
Love the garland! I’ve framed some old Vogue and Elle magazine covers with cheap frames from Ikea and they look really good and it was also inexpensive! Happy Decorating! xx
DIY bulliten board: if you cant find an old one that you can take the inside out of, then the hardware store has plenty of wainscoting material that you can knock a frame up yourself. Paint it matt white and frame a sheet of ply board you’ve padded the same way you re-did those chairs. Finish it off with an awesome vintage fabric and use it for pinning pictures/prints/ inspiration etc. You could even do a collection with different complimentary or contrasting fabrics. One for a print, the other for a ‘to do’ etc. It could be like an installation; no paper, but put more 3D objects stuck to the wall with the ‘empty’ frame around it.
I like it… it’s always nice to see a bit of unexpected sparkle
I find another way of filling up a large blank wall is a huge vintage clock, which doesn’t have to break the bank…

Oh! love the garland! You can also go for wall stickers or long minimal shelves (and then if you are a freak like me, order your books by color, it adds a subtle decor touch hard to forget!)
Lovely blog!
I love the idea of hanging a garland, it makes the wall look so pretty and it’s an original idea
xx
That looks pretty, but I would never try it for myself.
Your office really is such a beautiful space!
love your blog ! <3
i painted thick vertical stripes onto my wall in slightly contrasting colors (light gray and white) then added framed pictures. love it love it!

Hi! I love a big wall FULL of mirrors. Different sizes, shapes and colors. It makes the room brighter and bigger ( although, you probably don’t need that….hehe)
I love that. I need to do that since I work at home too.
framed magazine covers make great art. I found some vintage Vogue covers at an antique store, very inexpensive. And it’s fun to mix the old ones with the new!
such a peaceful room

http://beyondurclothes.blogspot.com/
looks just right! i just added a string of photos above my desk. i think it’s just right, too. adds some color without needing me to spend lots of money on a more permanent solution!
Oh, look so good!

Hmmm, to complement the blush/rose background what about black and white photos or prints that you love in white frames?
(Although the tassles are unique and lovely!)

I love this idea! I need a little sparkle too around my desk, since I spend entirely too much time at it. I think it would definitely help keep me inspired and motivated!

Emily, at my house I put fabric at my wall (well, I bout a cotton fabric). You can see ir here: http://www.diadesaltoalto.com/2010/09/casa-nova-colando-tecido-na-parede.html
I wrote in Portuguese, but you can see the pics.
The good think about fabric in the wall is: the place becomes more confortable = ) The wall looks good and you can rang something simple and it will look great!
Hope you like it!
Love
Have you thought about framed prints and posters? On Amazon there is a tasteful collection of posters which come framed which would update any large space relatively cheaply. I have a vintage film advertisement from the Italian release of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Its fake, but still look amazing on my wall!
http://flossyblossom.blogspot.com
I could totally see some vintage art or framed photos of Audrey Heburn (you remind me of her). Z. Gallerie is another fantastic place to look for those knick knacks to hang on your wall.
Pictures of famous landmarks are fantastic also (i.e. Eiffel Tower).

Hi Emily!
i had never seen that kind of decoration. I’m not sure if i like it hanging on the wall, but it’s a beautiful combination of colors: a neutral color and silver!
Beijos
sooo pretty- i love it! i’ve just been doing a large unorganized gallery wall. actually posted some affordable art today! XXO
http://stylewithinreach.blogspot.com
AWESOME,i found a couple of ideas on some blogs and of course beloved martha’s website,like a collection of empty frames or mirrors,like the one on anthropologie.
Very neat. I’ve never seen anything like this before.
http://www.mywordsinterestslife.blogspot.com
I love that! It would actually be pretty easy to DIY as well.

your office is so dreamy!i could just sit,stare at the pink walls and daydream all day long!

There is nothing prettier then pastels and sparkles mixed. But its not to over the top where you will be overwhelmed its a calm energy to help you work!
i love sparkles… i think this is the perfect addition to a workspace!
I am loving the silver against the pink wall, so pretty & fun!

I love that idea…I totally think your calling cards should have a hand drawn picture of you sitting at your desk with the garland above your head! How fun!!
130$ ???!!!! You got ripped off. I could’ve made that by walking around town and robbing 5 year old cheerleaders of there pompoms and ripping the majority of the material off . Then swinging by home depot and buying some wire to tie it on. JOKE
I love the colors you chose. The silver is great!
It looks very fun! If added some photos or drawing maybe will look more different.:)
You could always take different size canvas- bought at a local art store, paint them different colors/designs and almost create your own huge wall of art, for cheap!
Hi Emily
I have a tip!
Try making a full wall clock! They are really cool and inexpensive. Print out sticker numbers at a print shop in all different fonts and buy a clock dial.
If that seems confusing, I saw it on Sarah 101, a design show.
Here is the link: http://www.hgtv.ca/sarah101/episodes.aspx?sectionid=432&categoryid=4976351129275603882&postid=195858

I did something similar to make up for a lack of a headboard in my bedroom–I strung up some pretty ribbon the length of my bed, then attached pretty handmade greeting cards I bought in India with clothespins. It fills up the wall nicely!
super cute and might be fun to try to DIY!
My best tip for covering a large wall on the cheap is to stretch fabric over a wood canvas frame. IKEA has great inexpensive fabrics, or using one of Urban Outfitters’ tapestries works just as well– the key is to get an upholstery weight fabric so it doesnt look cheap. Buy the wooden canvas stretcher pieces at an art supply store, snap ‘em together into a frame, staple gun the fabric around the back edges, and you have an amazingly easy way to spruce up a boring white wall.
Love your blog!! And would LOVE LOVE to see your wedding planning progress, perhaps on an offshoot of the blog?? I think there would be huge appeal! (and of course being engaged myself I’d love to get more awesome ideas… )
aw i love this idea!! it makes the room sparkle. i think an inspiration board would be fun too…or i love walls with lots of frames (personal photos, travel photos, etc). good luck!

http://blankwhiteframes.blogspot.com
oh well done, I love what they do and as you spend so much time there it’s a brilliant idea!
What about painting something directly on the wall? You can use a projector to see how it looks on the wall, then trace it and paint. I would definitely do that on my big white walls if I didn’t rent this place.
I adore your blog. Love from London.
I love your blog! My favorite idea to fill a wall is to write a favorite quote, or the opening lines to a favorite book, or the lyrics to a favorite song, using block letter stencils. I once saw a photo spread of Molly Sims’s apartment, and she had huge paintings that were just block-letter quotes (I wish I could remember the name of the artist). I thought it was a fabulous idea. The fourth photo down on this blog link shows one of the paintings: http://www.krislynblog.com/2009/09/inspiration-molly-sims-home.html
I’m also working at my home office and always looking for fun stuff to decorate the walls. This is a really nice idea, I have to try.

looks great!
doesn’t sitting in that chair for 10 hours get uncomfortable…? i need a stylish and comfortable chair for my office!!
Paint a bunch of different vintage frames white and scattering them across the wall. I did that on a large wall in my space and it’s quite a fantastic DIY art installation, if I do say so myself!
Love the tassels – the colours of them go great with the pink wall! Cute way to spice up your office!
http://semplicemente-sarah.blogspot.com
I made a faux clothesline with some miniture wooden pegs and twine and hung up cuts outs from magazines and photos of friends on them. Also helped me fill a very large wall on the cheap!
The tassle garland is such a darling look. Clever and budget-friendly decor.

Large old frames (via flea markets, yard sales, thrift stores) with fabric stretched across them make for nice wall pieces. Mix and match sizes, colors and patterns.
Love the workspace look! Personally I make an ongoing collage on the wall above my desk of everything from ticket stubs to holiday cards to pretty bows & ribbons to bottle caps! Anything that looks cool.
THAT’S VERY CREATIVE! really pretty
http://victoriadiazs.wordpress.com
This fills up that space perfectly! What an awesome idea, I hadn’t heard of a tassel garland before. Hope you’re doing well Emily
I love Confetti System – I think they have some of the coolest things on the market right now in terms of party decorations!
Confetti System stole my heart the first time I saw it a while back. I love that you are using their garland as a daily decor staple. So very whimsical!
About a week ago I posted about decor ideas using fashion. Check it out here:
http://athousandlaughingstarfish.blogspot.com/2011/01/art-of-clothes.html
I’m still on the hunt for a great deal on a vintage beaded number I can frame. This idea would work great for you, the ultimate fashionista! Or a collection of (cheap but beautiful) vintage costume jewelry you can find when thrifting or at the local flea market.
Nice!! Now your office looks like a party celebration! Way to pump up the excitement factor every time stepping into your workplace.. I get inspired by artsy creative stuff so I think if i’m on a tight budget & would like to decorate my colored large wall, I would get a huge black & white custom printing of something inspiring… & frame it myself…
:: Farrah @ DISTRIKMODE ::
Emily, have you checked out removable wall decals? Some are kind of kooky, but they’re a great (and temporary) cheap way to embellish a large wall. http://www.whatisblik.com/shop/explore is one site, but there are dozens.
My bedroom walls are the exact same pink! Thanks for the great idea.. I love the multi-color confetti string! I created most of the art in my bedroom myself to save money.. also makes it more personal.
So glad you posted this! I was collecting large wall space decorating ideas just the other day since I have the same problem.

I frame vintage postcards and photographs in ecclectic frames I find everywhere. It’s a growing collage on our wall.
That’s very cute! I would paint different shades of pink circles or squares on the wall to give it a modern feel
http://www.raindropsofsapphire.com
love that color of the wall…
what do you think of my new bag?
http://www.fashionessence-anna.blogspot.com
So creative! Looks adorable!
Another thing you could always do for large walls is frame posters… a lot cheaper than art.
I used to string up photo hanging wire with those small metal photo clips on rings. Then i would rotate photos of my friends, torn magazine pages, momentos, etc. It’s like a giant inspiration board.
i love these photos
they are so romantic
i am a huge fan of you
i hope you follow my blog too

2 ideas for large wall space decoration:
tile-size mirrors. you can arrange them in different patterns, leaving some open space to the wall, and they will light up you room through reflection, create the illusion of even more space (not sure if you want that) and look quite pretty.
Another idea is buying a whole bunch of inexpensive frames and putting pretty pieces of fabric in them. You can arrange the frames in different patterns along the wall. It gives an interesting level of detail without being too expensive!
wow! really cool!
http://cappuccinowithfashion.blogspot.com/
Gorgeous! I love it.
One day when hubs lets me have a girly pink room all of my own, I know now what I would put on the walls.
Too purdy!

Your office is so inspirational! Love everything about it!

You can make a collage out of magazines that you have saved and just create anything using the headliners, pictures, etc. Or you can install little shelves and place cute curly knick knacks to balance out the glittering tassles. Just a thought!
I love clustered picture frames mixed with mirrors

Such a great idea. Makes a real chnage from hanging a canvas. Totally inspiring!
I had a big ugly wall and I covered it with a decal from http://www.etsy.com
It was so beautiful!!! And whimsical!
Cute idea, Emily. I have been revamping my home office + new apartment (much like you!). A fun, budget-friendly way to decorate is by framing really beautiful wallpaper sample prints. I have three framed prints (pics soon) in my dining room. Framed photos are obvious, but I like to buy el-cheapo frames and jazz them up myself. Another fun way to spruce up a wall (and add some texture) is by placing large, long bamboo sticks in corners…I found some at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby — do you have those in SoCal? Any crafts store should have ‘em
Ooh and fun fabrics/tapestries can brighten up a room, too!
Ok, can you tell I used to be an editor at a home magazine?
Haha.
Happy decorating!

Love the garland – great idea! You can also try white, 3 foot wide (or so) shelves staggered at different heights with frames of black and white photos resting against the wall. Or, get three large frames with large matting and black and white photos. Spread the three frames out side by side to take up most of the wall. I also love Diana’s clustered frames mixed with mirror idea. But the garland looks awesome! Enjoy!!
yes i love the garland it’s so fun!
I had a big empty wall in my little apartment so I just built a giant wood frame with scraps from homedepot and then covered it with some fun fabric (with the help from a staple gun). It was very easy and really cheap.
i’ve seen some black sticker art pieces at urban outfitters…think they would be great
I found a company out of St. John’s, Newfoundland of all places that do ‘sticky prints’ (http://www.canvascanada.ca/sticky.html). They are large, non-light reflective, high quality canvas that can be adhered to a wall. The best part however is that you can move them around as many times as you like and they print them in huge sizes at a great price. I was going to great a three-piece, large installation using a photo of the Delicate Arch I took in Moab, Utah, divided into three large pieces. I haven’t tried it yet but I’ve been dying to!
You could always frame large pieces of beautiful wallpaper or wrapping paper. These can be inexpensive options and fill as much space as you need them to since you just cut them to the size you need. I do love your fun garland though!
Decals!!!! Go to Esty and search for wall decals… I have an awesome tree filling up a big empty wall in my living room.
Your home office is so beautiful! What about collecting a bunch of vintage frames, painting them all white, and just hanging them empty on the wall?
I did my Christmas tree with the very same garland, it was a bit pricey as I had to get two, but looked great with our champagne and matte white ornaments. I have been absolutely obsessed with tassels these days. Anything I can find on a bag or the slew of Jeffrey Campbell shoes, some of my latest additions…

…I even went as far as making a collar for my dog, but with a name like Winston I felt it was true to form.
What about your mirrors? In a long rectangle shape this time. The confetti would be lovely underneath it. You’d probably have to spray paint them a more whimsical, soft gold, rather than the bright antique gold they are…but if you don’t already have a home for them, the beautiful items in your office reflecting off of them would be magic. Not to mention it would also make the space look larger!

..As far as the walls go, my boyfriend and I rent, but for our office we put up a temp. beadboard installment on the bottom half of the wall and I covered the top half with the fabric below. We now have 3 very goddy gold frames featured in the center, one of which holds a mirror.
http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=04d60704-922d-49d0-a994-998bca8c494f
Emily… I can give you two ideas that i recently saw… First, buy frames with different shapes (you can use differente colors or the same) and place pics or pieces of fabrics that you like (you should have at least 8), looks amazing! Second – buy 3 canvas for painting (1 meter x 0,50 cm) and choose 3 fabrics that you love and matches with your office, wrap the canvas and put in the wall like a painting, you can do it horizontal or vertical… I saw this last one @ DevineDesign the TV show! Looked stonning!
i think you will like it and will be sheap!
All the best!

Cute, but a little pricey. I go into an office, but I really need to decorate at some point it’s very blah right now.
You could try doing a cluster-art wall, or maybe hanging up your gorgeous mirrors again? Also, a huge vintage mirror could work well and you have a wonderful way with shabby-chic!
I’m in the process of redecorating too, check out my blog sometime! <3
this is ridiculously cute. I wish they had steeler colors for my superbowl party!!
I love this!
I have been stuck in the same boat – big empty wall with nothing inexpensive enough to fill it. I actually have a pile of photos from magazines that make me smile or inspire me that I’ve been looking to frame …of course I still haven’t found the right frames, or decided how I would hang them yet, but it’s a thought
What a great idea!! I love it!!
http://www.glamlatte.com
Hey Emily – I love these: http://www.westelm.com/products/angle-nesting-shelves-g259/?pkey=cwall-shelving
Inexpensive and you can change around the things (or one “thing” in each shelf) that you feature there to match your mood/season!
This is a pretty good look. Prob about the same skill level as the one youve hung on your wall. Should throw you back like 5 clams maybe. check out the link
http://www.craftelf.com/paper_chain.htm
i knew that i saw this before on oh joy’s blog page. great decorating piece. i was thinking that you can just get a nice paint color to do like a small mural type of design or just hang a nice vintage painting/ mirror. whatever it is, I’m sure it’s going to look awesome bc of your great sensibilities.
What a good idea! It’s so cute.
Kisses,

You spent $130 on garland? I have to admit I am a bit shocked. How about you buy a large canvas from a craft supply store and make a piece of art? I have one in mind that I haven’t gotten to using vintage records and costume jewelry shellacked onto a canvas with abstract color blotches to match my living room.
Find some great fabric – vintage or new (I used Merrimekko) and stretch it over an artists frame for canvas. Mine is HUGE – 4feet X 6feet. Good luck!
I love the garland!! You can also create art by using paint to create large frames on your wall to fill with whatever you want!!
What a fantastic idea! I would never even think to do such a thing. It looks great on your pink wall too!

I love it so much! It’s perfect!
love, love, love.
i love sparkles and i want a rolling rack so bad!
Cute! I had the same problem awhile back with a big blank white wall (even worse) behind my couch. This is what I did to give it some extra lighting and cover up space. Cheaper than artwork!

that’s so cute! and i agree is definitely important to have pretty decor up in a place you spend so much time.

You have sooo many comments on your blog each day so I’m not sure if you read each and every single one of them but I want to say that I’m GLAD that you put out there how many hours you work each day. While everything looks so beautiful and charming on your blog, it’s good for people to see that it doesn’t come easy!
Great post. have a better day today!

that looks adorable! I feel the same exact way. I am always keeping busy doing new projects. I put up a bunch of bags on eBay today to make some extra mula. GO us!

Very cute! Mirrors/art/whatever varied by size, in clusters or layered on floating shelves looks eclectic and not stuffy. Bonus for using the shelves, you can switch out what you want displayed and keep things fresh!
I had a huge empty wall and went and bought a canvus and did an awesome painting. It was cheap and looks nice in the middle of the wall.

living in a dorm room, my walls started out pretty bland, to say the least! I’ve turned one wall into a collage– i call it my blog wall, its just a bunch of pictures i’ve taken from traveling, family photos, quotes, song lyrics, inspiring knick knacks and odds and ends from my year– ticket stubs, feathers, art work, etc. It covers the majority of one whole wall and is fun to look at every day. I’m obsessed with adding to it! On the other wall i hung this giant vintage swatch of cloth with this concentric circular pattern. It’s a nice contrast to the hectic-ness of the opposite wall. Good luck decorating!!
This is a great idea! Have you thought about wall decals? They apply very easily and remove flawlessly. They just add so much personality to any room!
Check out this design from etsy:

My boyfriend and I are having the same issue at our apartment. We have a giant wall behind the couch in our living room we just don’t know what to do with it.
These are the things we have considered: A collage of pictures and picture frames like Carrie’s room in Sex & The City (see: http://bit.ly/eBNj7o), a large mirror to make the room appear larger, a wall mural painted by an artist friend of mine, or something from Art.com or Z Gallerie.
I love your garland idea though! Looks great. Maybe I can talk my boyfriend into something like that.

i love the shelving idea actually. i’m also battling a large open space i have absolutely no earthly idea what to do with. i don’t know if i’m snazzy enough to rock the sparkles
http://www.luvandkiwi.com
you should seriously consider writing some kind of life-style/decorating book. I bet like, everyone would buy it! x

Wow, what a beautiful – and unexpected – way to dress up a plain wall!
I would paint 3 large squares of color (I think a beige or navy blue would look great on your wall), and then use them as a ‘frame’ for framed pictures or artwork. This way, you can bring attention to special pieces you would like to display, and take up space on a large wall.
http://hemenwaystreet.blogspot.com
that is a beautiful and unique way to accent a wall!! i love it!
i also have some large spaces in my apartment and find it difficult to decorate. thanks for the inspiration!

So cute ! One fairly inexpensive solution for a big wall is to buy a cute calendar, cut it up and frame the photos inside! You end up with 10-12 great prints, enough to fill a wall, for maybe $100-200 total. I’ve done it with sketches of Paris, and I may do it with the Vogue calendar I just picked up!
Sugarlaws.com
you could put some vinyls and hang some real accesories, like a vinyl rack with real pearls and scarvs, or hats! have fun x
This is SO pretty, and goes perfectly with the romantic pink walls. What a great office to work in!

Love the sparkle

I bought large sheets of printed paper and cheap frames from TJ Maxx to put different sizes of it in. Also framed papyrus cards are cute too. [seen here: http://www.guidetomenhattan.com/2010/03/craft-corner-im-giant-nerd.html
PS I gave you a shout out on my blog earlier today!
very sweet idea
you could also get a poem or quotes you love enlarged so they cover the wall. or take the paintbrush into your own hand and go for a kind of “spontaneous doodling” image..
a collection of vintage mirrors would be adorable!!
simple but beautiful. you’re inspiring in so many ways.
besides.. voted for you at the bloglovin awards.
I love using large triptych prints to fill a big space. My favorite is this octopus print from Plantation (http://store.plantationdesign.com/n-trioct-blue.html)
You can do this a little bit cheaper by ordering a Triptych print from allposters.com and framing it yourself!
I HATE having a bare wall. I need stuff on every wall, otherwise I feel like I’m in a prison or something.
I recently went on a paper crane frenzy and made a big garland of them to hang over my door which is weirdly positioned in the corner. My walls are seafoam, minty green and the cranes are alternating yellow and peach.
Wow this looks great. You could get some paints and just let your hands roam free. I am sure whatever you do will look great. x
I filled up my walls with Silver Frames of all sizes hung with black ribbons of all different textures and sizes, like an old Parisian gallery. I put pictures of travels, paintings I have done, old family pictures, etc. It covers my entire above bed area, and I love it.
So glad you treated yourself! It looks perfect there.
That’s so pretty. Kinda looks like something I had to make at my store over x-mas. Love arts and crafts!

I’m glad to see they aren’t just amazing in print, but really work in a real home. i might just have to try it myself:)
I am liking the looks of that dress in the front of your clothing rack. Is it vintage or something you recently added to your collection? Who is it by?
Ashley
That is such an adorable idea! I like to glue old audrye hepburn postcards to my wall.. hahha
At my house, I filled up a large wall with a cork board of inspirational photos from magazines, pictures I’ve taken and motivational quotes. Definitely helps when I’m blogging!
I love this idea! I have a large wall also, that needs some love- I found an etsy site that does the most beautiful wall stencils you can see it here:
http://theartofstylesf.blogspot.com/2011/01/all-pretty-birds.html
I seriously think that’s so fun (and glam). Love seeing a new, unique decorating idea!
(Hi, by the way! It’s been a while since I’ve bubbled up from under life to say hello.)
Erin
I love this idea! Where do you find these great things on your
blog? I’m a new follower of your blog and it’s my favorite of those
I’ve found. I buy vintage art from consignment stores and antique stores. Occasionally other places. I hang friends art that
I like. I do have the Rand McNally Cosmopolitan World map
hanging over my computer.
I love this. such a great idea that I have never seen before.
I love also to put up just totally different frames (old and new ones) without pictures in them. arrange them not in order and looks really cool
X. Annie

I’ve been lusting after the confetti tassles as well! It looks great.
An easy (and inexpensive) way to fill up a wall is to get some great paper and frame them in monotone, different shaped frames. You could do the same paper or coordinate like the gorgeous Indian papers from Paper Source. The best part is when you get tired of it, you can switch it out with new paper.
What a cool garland!! My walls are too white! I need to spruce them up! Thanks for the ideas!! =)
Melanie’s Randomness
I use pictures from various vacations to cover my big wall in my living room/dining room. I keep them all in black & white, to keep a consistent look, and use white mats & black frames. If you hit up a sale at Michaels for frames, you will usually do just fine $$ wise.
It’s also nice to be able to look at the wall and see all of the great places I’ve been with my hubby.

lovely garland <3
http://www.mewmew-angelica.blogspot.com
Wow- truly love that garland, and would love to find something similar for my fireplace, just a little more affordable.
http://tryitonmegirl.blogspot.com/
Love the garland — so beautiful and whimsical! Another idea would be a big fabric wall hanging (as seen on Nate’s show http://www.thenateshow.com/tipsandtools/detail/create-a-fabric-wall-hanging)
That’s so pretty! I would be staring at that for hours, I love glitz. I think personal pictures in black and white and matted frames are always a nice way to dress up large walls. A cluster of mirrors is an idea too.
You should go out and buy some cheap wall decals or just get stencils and DIY. I think the pre-made decals would be smart and easy, plus they are usually really affordable.
Love your blog!
Best,
M
nice one! maybe you could try real branches… i saw that on a blog:
http://jenloveskev.com/2011/01/26/a-peek-at-our-bedroom/
xoxo
i love the tassels! i’ve seen some great ideas in other peeps comments, and the worldy maps sounds really cool, or you could try a little diy and use regular,everyday maps and colour them youself with the old teabag trick!
Omg I love that! I was looking for something unique to put up on my wall above my bed and I just found it!
You could try a mirror or several mirrors to make a focal point. You could also try painting the wall with stripes in the same pink color with a high gloss finish. It’s a little tricky to get the stripes even but it’s worth it in the end.
Frame funky greeting cards in simple modern frames. Try https://www.papayaart.com/ for their great and funky cards! It’s simply and easy to do!
Love your office space! It is so inspirational:)

http://www.missworkingirl.blogspot.com/
Perfect for a party! Love your blog <3
what about buying beautiful fabric with an interesting print or texture and hanging it across the entire width of the wall?
I love your blog and all your ideas are amazing thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh, I just love that tassle garland! What an original and affordable idea to decorate a blank wall!
vintageaplomb.blogspot.com
I like finding old empty wooden frames in different sizes for really cheap at antique stores or secondhand shops and spray painting them different colors and arranging them different ways on my walls. I do not put any pictures in them I just let the frames uniqueness speak for itself.
I have just recently decorated a little nook in my room. Love this glitter garland idea! so sweet…
It’s lovely, but for 130 dollars? You could of easily made it.
This just makes me happy!! L.O.V.E
That garland is super cute, but overpriced for moi. I might try to do a DIY on these! You always provide inspiration!
$130 seems far too much to pay for some tissue paper and mylar. Normally I love your blog, Emily; however, this post was weak.
try painting large stripes on the wall. one of my bedroom walls was painted with light green and white stripes; it’s awesome!
Love this idea! I filled up a big wall in my sitting room/library by hanging big empty frames around the latest issues of magazines that my husband and I read. It looks fun and it’s always changing!
-liz
I love that it’s not your average tassles, but has an eclectic, and unique vibe to it! It’d look amazing if you got a couple more and draped them all so they overlapped and crisscrossed
http://youngguccipurse.blogspot.com/
The tassels are adorable!
For a large empty wall above my bed, I made two large flower-like decorations out of toilet paper rolls according to a tutorial on Design Sponge:
http://www.designspongeonline.com/2009/11/diy-project-toilet-paper-roll-wall-art.html
I used a hot glue gun instead of glue+clothespins. You can spray paint any color, even metallic, just remember to prime (I forgot)!

Love this combination of the sparkly tassels on the peachy-pink wall. So feminine and still modern.
There are no words. I am obsessed with this look. Obsessed.
LOVVVVE this idea! what a great way to brighten up a boring wall! Super cute!
http://rufflesandsequins.blogspot.com
blog award for you on my blog!
I nailed down ribbons across the wall and then clipped my photographs and polaroids on the ribbons!
there’s a photo of it here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfinehVeL21qbidseo1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0RYTHV9YYQ4W5Q3HQMG2&Expires=1296277928&Signature=WEWjrCDG3bCZSWvcepmYHC8LjYA%3D
Get a real fancy wall clock and put a pretty romantic era painting on it. I’m sure it’ll appreciate the exclusive space. ^^
Hey Emily,
Just stopping by to say hi, and I really love what you’ve been doing with your office- the tassels add a lovely touch.
Also, in answer to your question- I hung pictures on one of my blank walls using string and colored clothes pins. It added a vintage homely feel. You should definitely try it sometime.
I love a cluster of different sized (inexpensive) picture frames with great family pictures for a large wall! Love your blog :]
woow
very cute!!!

I’m obsessed with that peachy garland!!
This post from Design*Sponge is a really cute idea, having a mural painted of something classic and simple:
http://www.designspongeonline.com/2011/01/before-after-sharons-boutique.html
Or [if you're not the commitment type], what I have are three neutral-colored cubbies mounted on my wall in a row, I can change out the display items when I get tired of them, and I have a large painting standing on top, layered with other smaller pieces of art.
*S
For large spans of wall space I do something similar. I get thick wire and create a length down the wall, then using regular wooden clothespins I display various sizes of photos and inspirational images.
What a fun and whimsical way to dress up empty space! Wonderful inspiration.
I like to do something similar to that. I use really pretty ribbon and get fun clothes pins or hooks and hang my favorite pictures.
i’m more in love with the color of your walls…really sophisticated and chic, not what i’d expect from a shade of pink. i’ve also been considering what to do with the large wall behind my desk and i recently came across these which i love:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/63774260/chalkboard-wall-calendar-with-memo-vinyl
http://www.etsy.com/listing/61392513/unique-dry-erase-board-decal-wall
http://www.etsy.com/listing/63772596/daily-dot-chalkboard-wall-calendar-vinyl
I’ve been a fan of Confetti for awhile now and had that theme going in my bedroom. I design fabric garland flowers for the above mentioned and parties. Let me know if you would like to see some photograph samples. – All the best
Great idea to cover the space! You can always try unique shelving or a nice bookcase since it’s your office. Having literature nearby can serve as great inspiration or a fill up any idle time you have.
Love your blog, check ours out! http://www.flyycoast2coast.wordpress.com
What a lovely way to cover a wall! I really enjoy your quality pictures and variety of content! I think it’s great to include the interior decor, cooking and fashion all in one!
I love this so much I just went online to buy it but they don’t ship to Canada wahhhhhh
HEART that is fabulous. How amazing for a little girls Nursery. May I ask where you purchased that rad antler table lamp? Oh and currently I am into large miss match wall art pcs from this Etsy seller
http://www.etsy.com/shop/CallaghanArtGallery?ref=seller_info
Well isn’t that the loveliest thing I’ve ever seen to fill up a large pink wall. I may just have to purchase one myself… You always have such amazing ideas!

Or you could find some fabric that you really like and put that up as a picture.
CUTE WALLPAPER ON ONE ACCENT WALL
I love the garland! It’s much too sparkly for my own decor, but still such great eye candy!
On our huge living room wall, I’ve hung two teardrop-shaped glass vases I bought on CB2 (for next to nothing) far enough apart to stick a large piece of art in between. Between that and the massive cream-colored couch, the wall is full. I switch the art out every month or so and the vases get changed on whim or when something dies. My favorite to fill the vases in the winter is sprigs from those little red berry trees and fallen seed pods collected during the fall. It makes a pretty, winter-appropriate look.
omg that is so cute!!! x
http://peaceandloveand.blogspot.com/
hey emily! where did you get that gorgeous leopard print clutch?
http://www.fashionlikecandy.blogspot.com
this is simply lovely. the pink, the sparkle, the everything. sometimes it pays to wait awhile and find just the right thing for a space!
What a cute decorating idea!
I like the idea of the decorating stickers on the wall…. there is a whole site about them… http://www.wallstickershop.com/wallstickers.cfm/clearance-wall-stickers/0/pcid/298/cid/395/
I never actually bought some there, but my friend did and she’s quite happy with them!
xoxo
hmm you might try framing some beautiful silk scarves. i bet you could find relatively inexpensive ones at the flea markets you frequent!
Emily – love your style, your taste, and design!
If you want an amazing idea – check out this wall I saw at Ann Taylor: http://embracingtwentysomething.typepad.com/my-blog/2010/11/have-you-seen-the-new-ann-taylor.html
It’s a mix of mirrors and hooks. I fell in love with it and wish I had a wall large enough to do this display! I think it would look fabulous behind your desk. Don’t be fooled with cost either – you can find cheap mirrors at thrift stores, garage sales, etc. {I’ve even seen them at Home Depot for a good price!} And hooks just the same. The mirrors capture and reflect the light so well, and the hooks are another means for displaying necklaces, clutches, etc.
Just an idea! Thanks for your constant inspiration.
I literally have pictures of these taken from J Crew’s window displays and had them saved for a DIY project. Thanks for the link so I can purchase if I get too lazy! I completely agree – it livens up your space perfectly!
xx Vivian @ http://diamondsandtulle.blogspot.com
Love these! I hope you don’t mind if I share your room on my blog. So pretty!

There are primers that can make your wall magnetic (like this one: http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=127) and turn a wall into a giant bulletin board without the holes and pins. I have one in my room and love it! You can paint whatever color over it you want and you can’t tell the difference!
I fell in love with the confetti systems ones too and ended up making some for my New years party because I couldn’t afford the real deal. You can check them out on my blog! I wanted to leave them up so bad, now I wish I did!
i dont know if its already been suggested but i always find big sihloette sticky decals a great option for big wall , especially if there the chalkbord type ones as you keen leave little notes on the – i got mine from urban outfitters and ikea
i LOVE this idea, it would make a great DIY project! when i have a large empty wall i scatter small photos all over, or put up a few large colorful paintings.
I am very pleased with my new wall decoration, we found a pristine blue metallic acoustic guitar in our neighbours skip so we snaffled it that night, its going on the kitchen diner wall =) Its so blue, I love it!
http://www.leche-vitrine.net/
looks great!
I have a HUGE wall in my bedroom, i used postcards/old notes/letters/walmart printed pictures all in black and white and hung them from home made vertical clothes lines (3m hooks holding up a thing wooden dowel rod, then simply tie white cloth string that can hang as long as you like with as many as you want across) and attached all the goodies with clothes pins. super cute, super cheap!
love your blog!

We absolutely ADORE this decorating idea! With plans to redecorate Mal’s apartment in the near future, we absolutely plan to use this garland as inspiration to tjuzs up the style!
Thank you for sharing!

http://www.malandcriss.com
what is your profession?
about our empty wall- what’s about some wall stickers or frame-shelf(selfmade)
or provide a ladder to the wall, it’s very decorative and also you can hang your scarves and necklaces on it.
Wow a lot of comments…for decorating large walls I recommend wall mouldings. They add something to the wall and you can also fill them in with wallpaper which looks awesome. I have a post on my blog take a look at this link http://highstyleinthehudsonvalley.blogspot.com/2009/05/wallpaper-mouldings.html.
That garland is really nice! Adds some sparkle
My tip for filling a large wall would be to paint your own canvas! You can get plain canvases quite cheap, you could even buy several canvases rather than one huge one. I can see that you are a creative person, I’m sure you’d be able to think of something cool to paint!
For empty walls, I can never get enough of tapestries, old maps, and antique mirrors.
These tassels are quite lovely!
Oh I love it! I actually saw one of those on Etsy a while back…bookmarked the main shop’s page b/c I loved the garland so much. Good way to spruce up a wall, thanks.
(It doesn’t seem to be the same one you bought, but a more affordable version I guess).
http://miko.bigcartel.com/
Try Ikea for large and cheap prints (sometimes prints on stretched canvas). Or vintage/ flea market frames (empty) and spray painted all one color (gloss black or white)
Trading Phrases.com is awesome for wall decor that is affordable and can cover a huge array of surfaces/sizes/colors/themes- you can even customize them!
I have a large book of Botanical Prints (http://www.amazon.com/Book-Botanical-Prints-Complete-Plates/dp/1435100182) that I found on the bargain shelf at Barnes and Noble for $24.95. It has beautiful, old-looking prints of flowers and greens that are very inspiring. It’s a great coffee table book, but it’s also a great source of art! I just cut them out close to the spine with an x-acto knife. It’s a great resource to have!
You have my absolute favorite blog, by the way. I used to adore Domino, so it’s wonderful to have that connection to it still!!
Sara
Emily,
I am in love with your pink walls. Its simple and fresh and brightens the space. I love your simple design ideas. If you are still looking for advice for large empty walls, my favorite thing to do is to find old frames or mirrors from flea markets or if you have any sitting around and hang them up in a pattern or scattered. You can leave them empty or take old pictures of your family tree, such as old pictures of your grandparents or your parents etc. I also enjoy just printing some of my favorite things out of my home printer and putting them in the frames. That is some of my ideas I hope it helps.
Felicia Klein
I am in love with your office, I am remodeling my room so I will definitely keep your tips in mind… I love the confetti system garland thing. It’s simple with a sparkly,girly touch…what could be better? By the way, I LOVE your blog!!!
A little late to respond, but I just came across this post. I had a barren wall, barren wallet situation myself, and I made these frames to fill space in a frugal way. Much cheaper than buying frames and art!
Take a look:
http://katemaxwell.wordpress.com/2011/07/16/cozy-corner-art/
I love this, I mean LOVE this! I’m going to try this like today! I think I’m going to look the confetti system up… Thanks, Emily!
Ok… so sadly there is NO bejamin moore near where i live:( Anyhow,I bought Glidden’s FRESH PINK LEMONADE… and it looks about the same color. I love my room now!! My room says Thank you

i tried to DIY with the garland wreath and it didn’t turn out as planned. i think its the color scheme I didn’t love so much. Yours looks killer though! I love it
