Wall decoration idea: posters on the wall

Looking for inspiration for wall decoration in the living room? Do you have a large, empty wall and want to spruce it up? Posters are always a good idea! Choose one large poster or find several posters that match well in terms of color or vibe. Gather posters that fit a theme, hobby, travel destination, or color palette that you like. Hang your poster collage on the wall. You can decide on the arrangement yourself: neatly side by side or playfully mixed together.

Hang shelves and (open) wall cabinets on the wall as decoration

Shelves and cabinets are perfect for displaying personal items. Hang shelves on the wall and fill them with vases, plants, or a stack of books. With our EKET cube cabinets, you can showcase your items in a unique way while also gaining extra storage space. Decide for yourself whether to hang wall cabinets with or without doors and choose which items to place in or out of sight.

Create your own indoor jungle with greenery on the wall. Fill pots with plants or create an entire green wall with green panels. At IKEA, you'll find plenty of artificial plants to fill your wall.
