Use your imagination and select from a variety of application alternatives of wall paper, painting, or installing tiles on your walls!
Hang Mirrors
If the headboard area of the wall is empty and you have the space to hang something, you can most definitely go with mirrors. They are a great way to make a room look brighter and larger. Whether it is smaller sized mirrors or larger ones, when placed in position and with the right shapes, even though it’s random, makes a space instantly lift up its energies. They are also Vastu-approved and hence, you can incorporate that seamlessly in your room.
Add Shelves
Shelves are the most congenial facets of interior decor when it comes to adding them as decorative or utility pieces. Skip the crested headboard and instead decorate with a shelf laden with accent items you love. You can add anything from books, framed photographs or paintings, or statement lamps.
Create An Accent Wall

Paintings, wallpaper, and shiplap are all great ways to create a different wall behind your bed and will change the feel of the whole room. You can even put up photographs and your art pieces if there are any.
Experiment With Lighting
Adding a lamp or bright lighting fixtures to any space brings in positivity. Lamps that mount on the wall and have moving arms are also a great addition because they can be adjusted based on where you need the light. Sconces are very popular these days and come in so many different styles, you are sure to be able to find one that you like.
Place Rugs Where Possible
Rugs give a comforting and rustic look to any space they are laid in. A floor without rugs can look bare or uninviting, but add some rugs and voila!

You can easily demarcate the spaces depending on where they are placed. Plus, they also give solid support to the elderly and children, thus bringing down the risks of slips and falls.
