I love a good old framed photograph just as much as the next person for hanging on the wall. As a matter of fact, I have at least one hanging in every room of my house. But if that’s the ONLY thing you have decorating your walls, it can get boring.

Adding dimension and texture to your walls adds character and charm to your home. Here are just a few ideas I’ve used in my own home…

An old rake head ($5 at an antique store) doubles as a key holder by the back door. I’ve also seen these used to hang jewelry and wine glasses.

Wooden signs are a great way to make a statement in any room. You can find them just about any size, or if you’re really crafty, you can make your own out of a piece of wood.

This old window was cute by itself, but a small wreath ($10 at Hobby Lobby) attached to it gives it even more texture and color.

Shelves are awesome for adding depth and dimension to a wall. This one has a really unique shape, and I love that it is made of both wood and metal. ($12 from Hobby Lobby)

Hanging a basket on the wall ($12 from Amazon) is a great way to display something in a kid’s room.

Instead of a traditional headboard, hang something on the wall for added height and texture, like this decorative metal piece ($22 at Hobby Lobby). Other ideas are old wooden doors or old metal garden gates.

So get creative when you’re decorating your walls – just about anything can be hung on a nail! Many of these items were even cheaper than a picture frame!

Thanks y’all!
