In general, wall décor is expensive. If you plan to hang a painting, it definitely comes at a cost. However, even before you decide to level-up your walls, it’s important to understand your personality and taste. Ask yourself what kind of a person you are – a nature enthusiast, book lover, art collector or DIY decorator. This will help you customise the walls in your home without breaking the bank. Think of wall décor as jewellery. When you wear an outfit, it isn’t really complete till you don’t put on some jewellery such as earrings or a necklace. Similarly, a bare wall can make a home look incomplete. Adding even a photo frame can put things together as a whole and give better perspective.
