How do you style walls (art, mirrors, textures)?

Great one 👍 — because wall styling is what gives your home personality beyond the “basic carpentry + paint.” In Delhi NCR, a good designer should give you multiple wall styling options depending on budget, style (modern, traditional, luxury, minimal), and room type.


âś… Popular Wall Styling Options

1. Paint & Textures

  • Feature walls with bold/dark shades (e.g., navy, emerald, charcoal).
  • Textured finishes: Asian Paints Royale Play, Nippon Momento.
  • Stucco / Venetian plaster for luxury feel.
  • Accent bands with contrasting colours.

2. Wallpapers & Panels

  • Vinyl wallpapers (affordable, durable).
  • Fabric/linen wallpapers (luxury, soft look).
  • 3D panels: MDF, gypsum, or PVC → geometric/organic textures.
  • Wood veneer cladding for warmth in bedrooms/living.

3. Art & Frames

  • Gallery wall: mix of art, photos, prints.
  • Oversized single artwork → bold statement piece.
  • Floating shelves with small art/collectibles.
  • Sourced from Hauz Khas Village, Shahpur Jat, Gurgaon Banjara Market, Artisera.

4. Mirrors

  • Large framed mirror in dining room → adds depth + light.
  • Round/sunburst mirror in entryway.
  • Antique/distressed mirror panels (luxury, cafĂ© vibe).
  • Customized mirror walls for compact rooms (Burari builder floors benefit a lot from this).

5. Decorative Cladding

  • Stone veneer / slate tiles → rustic look.
  • Marble / onyx panels with backlighting → luxury villas.
  • Brick cladding (exposed or faux) → loft / cafĂ©-style homes.

6. Other Creative Styling

  • Metal wall art (laser-cut, brass, iron).
  • Fabric/wooden panels with acoustic benefit (good for home theatres).
  • Wall niches with LED lighting.
  • Murals / hand-painted art (custom from local artists).

đź’ˇ What You Should Ask Your Designer

  1. Do you suggest wall styling options for each room (living, dining, bedrooms)?
  2. Do you source art/mirrors/decor, or do I need to buy separately?
  3. Can you give me 3D renders showing styled walls, not just plain paint?
  4. Do you source from local markets (Kirti Nagar, Banjara Market, Hauz Khas, Shahpur Jat)?
  5. How do you balance maintenance vs aesthetics (e.g., washable finishes for kids’ rooms)?

⚠️ Red Flags

  • Designer only offers paint & wallpaper, no styling ideas.
  • Uses Pinterest images but can’t source locally.
  • Leaves art & mirrors to you, without integration into design.

âś… Pro Tip

  • Living room: one feature wall (art/mirror/cladding).
  • Dining room: mirror + console.
  • Bedrooms: soft wallpaper or fabric panelling behind bed.
  • Entryway: bold colour + mirror.

👉 Do you want me to make a “Wall Styling Lookbook” (with visuals of paint, wallpapers, mirrors, art, textures) so you can shortlist styles and show your designer what direction you want?
