I have a blank wall in family. The room is painted flat plum. I have a rather large behind loveseat that is blank. I need something funky to put on this wall to brighten it up. Don't want painting or mirror or clock...any suggestions?

Here is a great idea. (I'll tell you right off the bat, I'm no decorating guru). Go tour some new construction homes and get ideas from there. The home builders pay good money to the professional decorators to come in and decorate their model homes. Or if "funky" is what you are looking for. I have seen (in a commercial) a sculpture (if you want to call it that) of a fish , using music cd's of different colors slightly overlapping each other on the wall which made the fish look like it had scales. Doesn't have to be a fish, but you get the idea. Maybe there are some other items that can be recycled and painted or used in a different fashion to make your wall hanging an "original handmade work of art"! Good Luck!!!

Hang a blanket or pretty rug, string a picture wire across and clip family photos, favorite art, post cards whatever, use different sizes and colors for variety. You could also consider a mosaic or other tile art as well as just randomly painting squares or stripes. Have a party and create a "Fame Wall" have everyone put hand prints on the wall and sign it. You could really go wild and have a local street artist graffiti it or line the wall with old record albums. There are so many options just decide on the look you want and go for it!

- wall sculpture. You can either make one yourself or buy one. They're sculptures, only (almost) flat and intended to hang on walls.
- cloth. You can either hang a panel of cloth from the cieling down, or just a square of cloth you can frame in a nice frame. Tere are awesome textures o0ut there, I'm sure you will find one you like.
- you're own piece of art. You can take some baboo reeds and tie them up in a funky shape, you can make your own painting.
- a piece of old wood. Go to a junkyard and you will find old boards, some have a lot of character.

Use a decorative wall paper according to your own preference. It can definitely beautify a plain wall in an instant! It brings out a creative style that could reflect a funky lifestyle...

How about a macrame wall hanging, a dream catcher, some wire sculpture (leaves and vines, music notes?), a shelf or two with candles, some decorative plates ?

My friend cut pretty flowers out of shiny (single color) rapping paper. The color is a little darker than the wall.
She stuck them with tape and they looked amazing!!
