Large painting

First, we’ll let you in on a little secret: One large statement piece on your wall will make your decor much more cohesive and refined than multiple wall decor pieces. So our first idea is to place a large painting on your wall. It can be abstract, scenic, or whatever screams “class” to you. That painting becomes a source of comfort to you when you lounge on your couch and a familiar sight for your guests.

Metal wall art

If paintings aren’t your thing, but you still want some artistry gracing the walls of your living room, hang up a piece of metal wall art. These elegant, eye-catching pieces are sure to complement the fun and classy sides of your space.

Sconces

A good set of sconces can really tie together your wall decor. And similar to wall clocks, they may seem like a so-last-century style, but in reality, there are so many cool, contemporary ones to choose from out there. Plus, a pair of them can give symmetry and balance to your space.

Hanging plants

Plants will always be a good choice for any room in the house — we’re sure of it. When it comes to living room wall decor ideas, hanging indoor plants is a great one. You’ll need to install a few floating shelves on the wall that can hold your plants. We recommend staggering them for a fun, modern look.

Decorative mirrors

We saved our favorite for last: decorative mirrors. Nothing says classy and fun like some cool, circular mirrors. You can go with one big one or get a few small ones and arrange them however you’d like along the wall.

Living room wall decor ideas may come to you simply enough, but it’s always nice to have a specific vision for your space instead of hanging things up willy-nilly. If you’re specifically looking for a modern, classy, and fun look in your living room, we hope these living room wall decor ideas serve you and your home well.

10 festive fall door decor ideas
Whether classic, trendy, or nontraditional, here are some stunning fall front door decor ideas to try this season
Fall wreath and pumpkins on front door on porch

From classic orange pumpkins placed neatly on the front steps to a simple and minimally designed fall wreath, there are several ways you can spruce up your fall door decor. If you’re struggling to find the right look for your space, we have some amazing autumn design ideas for your front door that are classic, nontraditional, trendy, and modern, so you can choose what you like best.
You can’t go wrong with the classics

As you begin curating a gorgeous fall front door aesthetic, you may want to peruse some of the classic looks to gain some style inspo.
Layer up your natural fall decor
A fall front door look wouldn’t be complete without natural autumn decor. Dried corn stalks, pumpkins in every shape and size, gourds, straw bales, bright autumnal flowers, and fall foliage are all examples of what you can use to create the right aesthetic. Frame your door with fall leaves and corn stalks. Layer straw bales on the porch and steps, sprinkled with pumpkins and gourds.
Perfect your fall wreath
A fall wreath on the front door is a simple yet efficient way to celebrate the season. This decor addition can be fun to DIY, or you can purchase a premade fall wreath from your local craft or home goods store. For a classic look, go with a wreath featuring fall foliage, pine cones, miniature pumpkins, or twigs. If you prefer a classy or more modern look, stick with metallic wreaths, twig-woven wreaths, or something with a more subtle, neutral color palette.
Add some plaid
Plaid is perhaps the most classic pattern used in fall textiles. Add some plaid to your front door space by layering your welcome mats or tossing a few throw pillows or blankets onto a porch swing to invite the plaid pattern to your space. You might also consider purchasing plaid-patterned faux pumpkins to add to your front steps lineup.
Fall flowers are great in warmer climates
If you live in a warmer climate, take advantage of the hotter fall days by adding a few potted fall flowers to your front door space. Be sure to use pots in various sizes, colors, and shapes to create a varied effect.
