Let's go back to the basics and stick with an all-time crowd favorite, clean and white walls. While an all-white wall may have a thin, fine line between looking classic and traditional or plain or boring, decorative pieces, accent colors, and even stylish furniture can turn your white walls to an even more creative interior piece. Turn your walls into a canvas with these 10 smart and creative tips!

1. Photographs

A common wall decor idea used in most Filipino homes, photographs are a fun, smart, and personalized way of giving life to your plain walls and still keeping memories of family bonding evident in your home. This light and airy home office area has a bright feel to it (thanks to the white walls and ombre curtains),  and a touch of sweetness brought by the little photographs hung on the wall. 

2. A stylish wall piece

A common designing tip used by most homeowners too, coating some parts with a different color adds a little zing to the room.
