1. Mirrors: reflecting elegance

Play with sizes and shapes

It’s not just a matter of using the wall as a support point to hang a mirror, but of playing with the size, shapes and even the figures that you can create from the design.

Mirrors over the sofa can change the point of view in terms of the size of the space, the lighting and even the way additional decorations are projected.

Mirror mosaic

You can put a mosaic made of mirrors. It is very trendy to paint the wall on a black background, and then place on it with a distance of 2 or 3 cm small squares of mirrors. A large square should be formed with this design.

Vintage trend

If the mirror idea appeals to you, you can make use of the vintage trend by incorporating a rectangular mirror with an antique wooden frame. This way you can strengthen the vintage atmosphere if it is your case.

2. Decorating the wall in vintage style: a trip to the past

Ornaments and antiques

Vintage decoration is a trend as it transports the decoration to another time. You can find wall decorations, from antiques that you can place on some shelves to older oil paintings.

Vinyl records and woven carpets

Vinyl records or an old woven rug can be very vintage. In addition, if you want to bring a little light to the room, you can use retro lamps that give a touch of the past, such as chandeliers.

3. Connection with nature: decoration with plants

Harmony and elegance

Plants are an element of decoration that never goes out of fashion. Nature can provide you with many accessories to match any style, from minimalist to modern.

Shelves and pots

You can use plants in two ways, the first using shelves and pots. You can help yourself with ferns, ornamental plants, succulents and cactus.

Built-in flower pots

Secondly, you can use pots that are available for wall embedding. The designs are many and varied, and you can get the ones that match your decorating style.

4. Shelving: functionality and style

Ornaments and storage

The wall decoration behing and above the sofa can be made more functional by installing shelves to help keep everything tidy, as well as being able to use the spaces to decorate with objects or souvenirs.
