Every once in a while, the walls of a room begin to feel a bit tired. If you're looking for some visual change and a regained sense of freshness, it might be time for a new coat of paint and some updated decor! 

First things first: survey those walls and make sure cracks are attended to and the holes from current picture frames get patched up. After all, you'll want to start with a pristine blank canvas. It'll take a tube of easy-to-use mending agent and just a few hours to let things dry. 

From there, you're ready to breathe new life into your space. To help get those creative juices flowing, here are three easy decorating ideas sure to inspire a fresh aesthetic.

1. Photo Collages

Not sure what art to choose for a freshly-painted wall? Try a mix of family photos or shots of destinations you hold close to home. Play with bold color or go for a collection of black and white imagery. Whether you select an array of uniform frames or create of geometric pattern of different photo sizes, you'll be able to tell a visually-inspiring story through your collage, and make it the focal point of an inviting space.

2. Wall Gardens

It's always nice to bring the outdoors inside. Wall gardens are a creative way to incorporate greenery and play with texture. And don't worry about keeping plants alive if you're nervous about upkeep! There are a number of faux garden options available to add calming, fresh color to a space without adding maintenance to your to-do list. 

3. Ceramics and Prints

Another popular method of giving an accent wall visual interest is to mount ceramic plates or hang prints. Again, you can opt for a series of uniform pieces, or experiment with pairing unique yet complementary patterns. 

No matter your decorating preferences, always remember to have some fun! Updating the space you live in can help rejuvenate it.
