A blank wall can make your space a bit boring and cold or unfinished, which means that it’s better to fill it in somehow, unless you are going for an ultra-minimalist interior. How to make this piece of wall more interesting and eye-catching? Here are some ideas.
Bold Mirrors
Your mirror can be oversized and in a refined frame, it can be a work of art with a unique geometric structure and shape, it can be an arrangement of colorful mirrors or even a mirror with long fringe for a boho feel – it’s totally up to you and what you wanna get.
