Looking to give your house a fancy new look? Ditch the idea of buying new furnishings and organising your cabinets—a better way to give your plain walls a makeover is by installing wall coverings. 

From wallpaper and paint to stencils and fabric, there are many ways you can spice your interior in a plethora of styles and budgets. 

Here are some replicable wall-covering ideas that can spice up your walls and bring a new dimension to your space.

1. Brushed Concrete

Brushed concrete is a practical wall-covering design in both residential and commercial settings. In particular, this design is known for its ability to mimic the rugged and clean characteristics of concrete, helping it complement a variety of interior layouts beautifully.

This type of design gives your home a polished concrete look that can visually substitute genuine concrete walls. It's timeless, minimalistic, and easy on the eyes, making it an easy design option for people to consider.

2. Decorative Tapestry

If you want to adorn your room with a sense of cultural mystique, hanging up a tapestry can be a great way to get there.

Tapestries are effective wall coverings due to their convenience and sheer versatility. They cover up a large section of the wall and can be printed on a variety of fabrics.

For one, you don't have to undergo a massive renovation project to see great results—you just need the tapestry, some nails, and a few hooks. 

Secondly, the enormity of tapestry designs is near-endless. You can find many exotic tapestry designs online, browse a local tapestry-specialty store, or thrift for tapestries in a flea market. You're bound to discover a handful of options that'll give your wall a more personalised look.

3. Peelable Wallpaper

As the famous adage goes, if something's not broken, there's no need to fix it—and this certainly holds true for old and reliable wallpaper.

The reasons for its fame are easy to pinpoint: it's easy to install, it can last for the majority of a home's life cycle durable, and there are a plethora of colour and design options that you can pick from. 

Peel-and-stick wallpapers are a particularly convenient option for wallpaper fans. Unlike more sticky wallpaper types, you eliminate the sense of permanence to your design choice with this option. This makes it easier to remodel your wall covering with much less hassle.

4. Murals

If you want to go the extra mile in decorating your space, a viable approach is to incorporate wall murals.

Murals refer to any decorative graphic design element that is put on a wall surface. This can come in a handful of forms, from graffiti art to stunning mosaics.

Just like wallpaper, there are peel-and-stick variants that can keep your wall covering simple to install. But if you want to bring your own spin to spicing up your decor, that's always a possibility too!

Mural designs, unlike wallpaper, form a composed image with a clear design. For instance, murals can represent a tree, an animal, a person, a star, or something else entirely. 

Furthermore, there are many ways you can have the mural customized to your own liking, if you so desire. Your imagination is the limit!

5. Wooden Slats

Want to make your wall pop out in a more literal sense? You can do so by installing some thoughtfully-spaced wooden panels on your bare walls.

Wooden slats are the perfect way of adding a luxurious and modern touch to your home. They look particularly great in high-traffic and public areas of your home like the dining room and living room since they give a warm and inviting aura. 

You can shape these wooden panels in a variety of ways, from horizontal and small-spaced to vertical and wide-toothed. Couple your wood choice with some warm lighting, and your room is sure to gain a heightened sense of sophistication.

6. Framed Gallery

Have a lot of photos you want to showcase? Commemorate your precious memories by hanging them up on one specific wall in your home!

A framed gallery is an excellent way to personalize your home and make it look snazzy all in one go. Hanging up framed photos of the home dwellers (i.g. your family) and the people and places you love is a great way to turn a cold and barren wall into a lively and heartwarming one.

You don't have to stick with a symmetrical selection of frames either. You can opt for varying frame materials, colours, and shapes to give your wall an artistic touch. 

7. Billowing Curtains

Curtains aren't just for dimming the stream of natural light that enters your home's windows. These soft and airy fabrics can also be used for purely decorative purposes—and they're quite excellent on that front.

Just like wallpapers and murals, curtains come in a variety of colours, fabrics, and designs that can complement several layout types. 

For instance, you can cover a broken or bland-looking wall with a row of matching curtains. You can also use a multi-layered curtain design to make a section of your home feel more posh and luxurious.
