Maybe it’s the personal touch or the feeling of permanence, but there’s just something about wall décor that instantly makes a space feel homier, particularly hanging wall décor above couches.
Decorating the wall behind your couch is fantastic way to show off your style and make a room feel more pulled together. Plus, there are so many ways to decorate, such as hanging a large painting—a tried-and-true classic that is widely adored for its array of sizes, colors, and subject matter—, a gallery wall made of smaller paintings, photos and prints, or going all out with a custom accent wall (check out # 17 on our list!). Shelves styled with plants and nature-inspired décor are a go-to in Scandinavian homes, while wood wall décor above the couch is a farmhouse favorite. How about a collection of vintage baskets or mounted books for a 3D display?
Find all of these inspirational ideas—and much more—in the list below. Don’t be surprised if these eye-catching spaces have you itching to hang your own wall décor above the couch!
