In any interior design project walls occupy a very important place because they give character to an environment. You can deliberately decide to leave them completely white, focusing on the characteristics of furnishings and accessories, or you can do otherwise.
If you choose the latter, you can decide to make them the real protagonists by giving them a special and refined look, making them become artistic walls: the focal point of the whole room.
Among other things, decorating a wall is the easiest and fastest way to renovate an environment.
Below we see 8 solutions to have walls decorated in very different ways.
The first and simplest way to create artistic walls is to use painting in a thoughtful way. Once we have chosen the palette and the style to give to an environment, we will dose the color according to the function of the room in which we are and, according to the need, to use it also to give a new proportion to the environments.
Full colors, lines, particular shapes, can all contribute to literally change the perception of space.
You can play with paint by giving it a certain effect, thanks to the use of special tools, or you can use some sort of decorative paints with a silk effect, stone, wood and so on.

An example is Cadoro Velvet, a decorative paint with a velvet effect by San Marco.
Wall decorations have always been entrusted to artists who created frescoes, murals and trompe l'oeil capable not only of embellishing an environment but also of catapulting it into another world with the most amazing landscape images.
Sometimes Architectures were designed in a particular way that framed a landscape, creating a space beyond the real space.
You can also create an illustration that personalizes the wall without painting it all with, for example, a tree to frame the sofa or some fictional characters to illustrate the walls of the bedroom.
Today there is a new frontier of frescoes: we are talking about the digital fresco.
It is a very innovative decorative technique which consists of digitally processing images, and then transferring them onto any type of surface.

The design is then transferred to the wall and treated with a high degree of customization.
Another solution for artistic walls that has been widespread for some years is that of three-dimensional effect panels, such as the products offered by 3d Surface.

These are panels that once placed side by side have a continuity that gives the wall very refined chiaroscuro effects.

Also, there are many solutions that use wood, such as vertical strips that raise a room or set its rhythm.
For refined artistic walls, the boiserie is a traditional solution with which you can decorate the entire wall or just a part of it.

Frames, rosettes, elements in wood, plaster, polystyrene or polyurethane can fill an environment and make it appear more refined, for a classic style or, if combined with contemporary furnishings and accessories, a more modern style.
Wallpaper was in vogue in the seventies and it has recently returned to dress our homes: this time in a lighter way, covering only a few selected walls, so that they are the focus of the environment.
