I just moved into a new apartment, and honestly, all the walls are so plain and empty that it feels like a blank canvas—but in a kind of overwhelming way. I’ve been staring at the living room wall for days, thinking about how to make it feel cozy but also reflect my personality. I’m considering adding some bold color, maybe a gallery wall, or even textured paint, but I’m not sure how far I can go without it looking chaotic. Has anyone tried mixing different elements like that in one room? I’d love some examples or inspiration from people who’ve turned a dull space into something lively.

I totally get that feeling! When I first bought my place, my walls were just as blank, and I had no idea where to start. I decided to pick one feature wall in the living room and used a warm, inviting color, then layered some framed photos and small shelves with plants. It made a huge difference. Also, I ended up hiring commercial painters london to do a couple of accent walls—they had great advice about colors and textures that I hadn’t considered. Now each room feels more intentional without being overwhelming.
