Are you searching for stylish design ideas for decorating large walls?  Great!

It can feel overwhelming when you are staring at large wall spaces in your home without a clue where to start.

Where do you even begin to find decor pieces and artwork that will fit this size or space?

Here to help my friends!

Whether it’s high ceiling living rooms, blank wall spaces above furniture, or long hallways…these large wall decorating ideas will give you a direction.

Below you will find a round up of what I believe are some of the most well executed DIY projects and large wall decor items available.

My goal is to help you transfer these stylish design ideas into your own home.

A massive statement piece of art is a great place to start when decorating large walls.

The great news is, you can find some really cool pieces without breaking the bank!

I LOVE these seriously oversized DIY frames. 

You can learn how to build them at  Place Of My Taste!

If you’re not the artistic type (like able to fill them with original artwork like Aniko does in the tutorial) it’s ok. 😛

Consider framing patterned wall paper or enlarged abstract photos.

#3) Large Family Photo Gallery Wall Decor Idea

Within The Grove showcases this wildly popular family photo wall gallery.

I love how the white frames are offset on the navy accent wall.

We did something similar in our large living room to fill a massive wall space, and I love how it turned out.

#4) Orac Decor Large Wall Panel Moulding

Adding moulding to a large wall really works to enhance the space with character and style.

These large panel molds look incredible in a dining room, living room, or large bedroom.

They instantly define the space with chic style.

#5) Farmhouse Shelving For Large Walls Spaces

Unoriginal Mom shows how you can completely define a space with well styled farmhouse shelving.

In her tutorial, you will learn how to create these awesome floating farmhouse shelves!

If you like this look, I have an entire collection of farmhouse shelving decor ideas you might want to take a peek at!

You will find dozens of designs ideas to fit any space.

#6) The Best Is Yet To Come Wall Scribing

The creative idea includes wall scribing above a picture collage.

It creates great movement to the design and allows for personalization too.

#7) Hanging Tapestry Large Wall Decor Idea

Hanging and oversized rug or wall tapestry is a great way to decorate oversized walls.

This image shows how it can feature a bedroom wall behind the headboard, but it would work behind a couch or table too!

#8) Large Wall Assorted Decor Collage

I knew I had to include this idea for decorating large walls that I found Pinterest.

It’s a collage of fun farmhouse items that anyone can recreate and DIY with items they likely already have on hand.

#9) Decorative Moulding Large Wall Decor Idea

Adding decorative moulding can instantly transform a blank and boring space to look completely custom.

Surprisingly easy to install, you can measure and cut, or even take advantage of peel and stick options linked above.

#10) Large Wall Framed Branch Decor Idea

I love this idea I found on Pinterest and immediately fell in love.

I created a very similar display for our home!

#11) Wreath With Backing Large Wall Decor Idea

Kirkland Kottage Instagram nails a design trend that I’ve seen everywhere!  

Group two large rectangular or square items next to each other, and connect them with a beautiful wreath on the top.

I did something very similar to this in our basement with two farmhouse mirrors and a wreath and couldn’t love it more!

It also provides a great space you can change and update throughout the seasons. (Hello Holiday Wreaths!)

#12) Statement Shelving Living Room Decor

Adding shelving to a large living room or office instantly is a great way to create functional decor.

You can customize the design and style, or simple add free standing floating furniture.

#13) Large Living Room Wall Decor Display

If you like this design, you will find many more like it over on my farmhouse living room decor post!

You will notice a number of designs like this that feature a

  • Floating Shelf
  • Two Vertical Anchor Pieces
  • A Triangular Shelf Display
    • Notice the shelf has a tall anchor piece in the middle, then shutters and candle fillers on the sides that cascade downward creating a triangular design line. 

#14) Long & Lean Oversized Wall Art

Oversized artwork that runs in a linear direction can help lengthen any small space.

These tall paired canvases help this dining nook look tall and inviting.

#15) Wood Plank Accent Idea For Decorating Large Walls

This great idea I found on Pinterest does a great job of transforming a large open wall space into a smaller more manageable space to decorate.

The wood plank backdrop works really to define photo frame layout, though I think an oversized clock would look awesome on this as well!

 

#16) Oversized Wall Leaning Floor Mirror

A large wall leaning floor mirror adds brightness to any large wall space.

Easy to move, place, and decorate around it works well to break up large rooms.

I am so in love with this eclectic collection of window frames from My 100 Year Old Home!

While this design was featured in a dining room, I think this type of arrangement would be stunning above a large couch wall.

#18) Rustic Wood Scrabble Tile Collage For Large Walls

Scrabble tiles are all the rage, and I found these adorable ones from Etsy seller THEpicked!

Arrange your family names along with a few fillers and you will have created a completely personal large wall display.

Super cute!

Last but certainly not least is this really cool oversized metal wall art.

In golds, silver, or black it creates a cool design light that can contrast any large wall space.
