If you want to repaint your walls, create a geometric pattern using masking tape. Apply a coat of a background color, let this dry, then apply masking tape in a predefined pattern. Then, apply a second coat of contrasting paint. Once dry, remove the tape and your decorated wall will be ready.
14. Rustic recycling

15. Wooden panels
Cover a wall (or part of it) with wooden panels for a guaranteed "wow" effect.
