Designer PITCH – Wall decors or highlighters can definitely be used for back walls as above designer has mentioned. But my approach is why decorate walls that probably wouldn’t be seen much. Instead add drama to your front easily view-able walls. Like Space next to TV unit, adjacent wall to sofa back wall, passage wall, etc. For e.g. say you have a 40’x40’ massive living room wherein you have sofa arranged at one wall. The wall adjacent to it could be covered with your typical wall Wallpaper ideas or wall texturing. You even have ready decorative 3D panels installed that look very impressive. All these wall coverings are available in varied designs and colors. Be wise and choose the best as per your interior theme and that is going to stay for next 15-20 years on your walls.
Apart from these wall-coverings, Home owners can try these wall décor Ideas as alternative to wall-coverings for their modern homes –

Designer PITCH – Go wild, add colors to your living space, go classy with elegant décor items, but avoid going overboard. Having expensive material for wall decor or having too attractive ideas are not going to charm your walls. Minimalism is the new trend.

Also before finalizing anything, ask yourself if this is what you want to see on your walls for next 15-20 years…
