POP Wall Designs

Wallpaper

Lacquered layers 

Out of the many interior wall design ideas, surprisingly lacquer still remains highly underused. Modern lacquer is a mixture of acrylic water-based varnish with high-gloss paint. This not only gives it a shiny and beautiful look but also makes it non-toxic, unlike the lacquer that was available years ago. Glossy paints are warm, smooth to the touch, velvety, and tactile. You can use this effect as a part of your interior wall decoration project by spraying the paint on a smooth and well-prepared wall. Ideally, you should apply at least three layers of paint. This may seem like a lot of work, but the outcome will surely dazzle you. The hard work is worth it. Lacquered walls can turn any wall into a polished, chic, and elegant wall. High-gloss paint is especially recommended for smaller rooms as it can reflect light and thus create an illusion of a larger room. 

Stone Wall Designs 

You can use stones to take your walls to a whole new level. Stone has been a traditional material of choice for many years, but it does not mean that it is outdated. You can combine stone with modern architecture to create a unique and stylish look. Stones are versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. You can use stones for the backsplash in the kitchen, or you can also use them to cover a wall completely for a more dramatic effect. Stones not only add elegance and depth to a room, but they can also give the wall a protective layer. 

These are some of the easiest and most versatile ways in which you can redecorate your house. These designs can bring a sense of charm and personality to your rooms without burning a hole in your pocket.
