How to avoid wall décor clichés

The interior decor of a home reflects the personality of the person living inside it. The pieces you hang on the walls or keep on the corners create an aura in the house that gives the home its “homely” feeling.

Everyone wants a different and personalized decor for the home. Your walls too need to have something different than the clichés like paintings and family photo frames. When you start to explore the options for decorating the walls, the list is pretty vast.

Now your modern looking space would have a punch of vintage decor. This would create a perfect balance of new and old era in your home.

Sketches, magazine clippings, pictures of loved ones, reminders and deadlines anything and everything that inspires you and needs your attention.
