2. Felt wall tiles

Wall tiles needn't be porcelain or ceramic, nor should they take a professional hours to install. Felt tiles are a wonderful solution and look great, cover your wall entirely, and give your interior design on-trend sophistication. 

3. Wall tattoos

Green walls not only look great, purify your air, and add a hint of nature, but they also hide a range of unseemly wall problems. Get creative with your green wall and look at both plants and flowers. If you are unsure of maintaining live plants, check out some artificial options as well. 

9. Wall art
