If you want to really make a statement on your wall, but don’t like the permanence of wallpaper, you can simply attach some fabric to your wall using fabric starch and a paint roller. It comes off without damaging the wall so it can be used as more of a temporary decorative solution.

Mirrors create the illusion of more space in a room, but plain old mirrors don’t add a whole lot of interest or personality. However, you can hang a group of smaller mirrors with interesting frames to create the illusion of space and also add some art to your walls.

Display Quotes or Lyrics.
