One of the coolest things about owning your own home is that you can create your own world to live in! Do you love vibrant colors or do you go for the neutral tones? Are you daring enough to give your wall some texture and we’re not just talking wallpaper. Summer is here and it’s a season associated with many different feelings and impressions. Flowers are in full bloom, fruits are changing colors and overall everything feels a bit warmer and sun-kissed.

A wall is not just a wall
The easiest thing when touching up a wall is to paint it in one color, usually a white or neutral color. It definitely makes it simpler to match furniture but try to look at your wall as a canvas. One suggestion to give the wall more texture and life is to try 3D wall art. There are many different techniques and objects to choose from. Everything from beautiful paper flowers, metal birds or why not yarn that is threaded from nail to nail to form a pattern or word?
