Renewing the decor of a project does not require major renovations or high investments. Often, a change in the
wall decoration is enough to completely transform the atmosphere of a space. With
creativity, it is possible to give new life to the projects and reflect personality in every detail.
Bezerra Panobianco Arquitetura - Ecos Brandos. Quantos sonhos cabem numa casa? A pergunta direcionou Expedito Bezerra e Lucas Panobianco na concepção do estúdio de 100 m². Ele se reveste de uma paleta monocromática em tons sobre tons e de materiais que se repetem (como a parede de tijolos vazados), o que responde pela unidade visual entre living com bar, cozinha, jantar, closet, sala de banho e quarto. O macramê em grande formato de Sandra Luiza, na sala, e criações de artistas como Fabiana Queiroga e Antônio Poteiro, ambos ligados ao estado de Goiás, sublinham o caráter onírico da cabana contemporânea.

A creative decoration can transform walls into
focal points of a project, adding textures, colors, and elements that connect with the rest of the decor. The secret lies in choosing materials and compositions that connect to the
style of the house and bring a
touch of originality.

Invest in colors and textures for wall decoration
One of the quickest and most impactful ways to renew wall decoration is through
painting. Colors, geometric shapes, and textures can transform a project in a simple and accessible way.
Geometric paintings
Geometric shapes, made with adhesive tapes and contrasting colored paints, create
modern and dynamic effects. Triangles, stripes, or color blocks are some of the possibilities that ensure a
contemporary look.

Texture effects
Techniques like
burnt cement, marbled, or exposed concrete walls are on the rise and give a
contemporary air to the spaces. They are ideal for those who want a
sophisticated result with an industrial touch.

Use of striking colors
Choosing a
vibrant color for a single wall can create a focal point in the project. Red, cobalt blue, olive green, and
earth tones are good options for those seeking
personality.

Include three-dimensional elements in wall decoration
For those who want to go beyond painting, investing in three-dimensional elements is an effective way to add
depth and visual interest.
Slatted panels
Wood panels with a slatted finish are among the main
trends in wall decoration. They offer texture, coziness, and can be used in both living rooms and bedrooms.

Decorative coatings
Materials such as
natural stones, exposed bricks, or embossed ceramics bring a
new reading to vertical surfaces. They are ideal for creating a
more welcoming project and with a
architectural touch.

Frames and boiseries
The frames applied directly to the wall, known as
boiseries, are perfect for those who appreciate a
classical or romantic touch. They can be painted in the same color as the wall or in contrasting shades for a more contemporary look.
Dubeux Vasconcelos Arquitetura - Estar Quies Coral. O projeto carrega em sua essência um convite à calma. Daí o nome quies, quietude em latim. Composto por ambientes multifuncionais (hall + escritório + adega, lavabo e jantar + estar + apoio gourmet), o espaço traduz um morar despretensiosamente contemporâneo. À primeira vista, os tons esverdeados e as linhas verticais levam a um sentimento de imersão nas águas. Em seguida, vem o mergulho na leveza celeste, traduzido pelas diferentes texturas da Melodia Suave, cor do ano da Coral. (MCA Estudio/CASACOR)
Use frames, photographs, and artistic compositions
Private art galleries are a trend that allows for
maximum personalization of wall decoration. The choice of images and the arrangement of frames reflect the residents' style.
Picture gallery
Creating a gallery with different sizes of
frames is a
democratic and flexible way to decorate. The compositions can follow a symmetrical alignment or a more free arrangement, depending on the desired effect.

Authorial photographs
Printing photographs taken by the residents themselves is an
affectionate way to bring
memory and identity to the project. It’s worth exploring images from trips, portraits, or everyday scenes.

Art in fabric or tapestries
For those who appreciate
textures, tapestries and macramés are great options. They add warmth and a
handcrafted touch to wall decoration.

Invest in functional and creative solutions
Wall decoration can also combine aesthetics and
functionality. Resources such as niches, shelves, and organization boards are examples of how this is possible.
Niches and shelves
In addition to being decorative,
niches and shelves serve to
display personal items, books or plants. They can be made from wood, metal, or MDF, depending on the style of the project.

Message boards and pegboards
Projects such as home offices and kitchens can gain cork boards, chalkboards, or pegboards that allow for
hanging utensils and objects practically and visually.

Vertical gardens
The walls can also host
plants. The
vertical gardens bring life to the project and are a
perfect solution for those who wish to integrate greenery into their decor.
Sabrina Sbardelotto - Home Office Versatile. O projeto foi concebido para ser um home office versátil que, dentro de sua área compacta, foi criado com polivalência nos mobiliários, tornando o espaço flexível. O conceito é reforçado com peças confortáveis e elementos de tecnologia, que permitem que o trabalho e a recepção de clientes seja feita de forma agradável e prática. (Cristiano Bauce/CASACOR)
