8 fresh and budget-friendly ideas for wall decoration

Thinking of how to creatively decorate an empty wall? There are creative alternatives to reproductions and photographs.

Wallpaper

If you have leftover small pieces of wallpaper after renovation that you don't want to throw away, turn them into posters.

CD covers

Even though compact discs are a thing of the past, you might still have some at home collecting dust. Place their covers in a large frame, arranged like photos on Instagram.

Stamps or postcards

Did you once collect stamps or bring postcards from travels? Let those pleasant memories become part of your interior.

Scarves, lace tablecloths

They can also make a great decoration – for example, if they are vintage.

Favourite book covers

There's no need to damage books – just scan and print their covers in high resolution.

Recipes

A grandmother's apple pie recipe or your signature dish can also be hung on the wall – just make sure to choose a frame that won't get lost in the interior.

Foreign banknotes

Another great idea is to use a minimalist frame for storing banknotes that remind you of a wonderful trip abroad.

Tapestries

A frame creates geometry and helps avoid the untidy look that tapestries sometimes give to an interior.
