Wall Decor Ideas for the Living Room, Bedroom and Majlis
An empty wall is the quickest thing to change in a home. Whether you rent an apartment in Dubai or own a villa in Abu Dhabi, wooden wall art lets you add character without drilling or heavy frames. Here are simple ideas room by room.

Living room
Make one statement: a large mandala, a world map or a tree of life above the sofa becomes the focal point of the room.
Sets of three or four panels (for example flower vases or medallion panels) fill a wide wall evenly. Keep the same gap between each panel.
Hang art so its centre is roughly at eye level, about 145–155 cm from the floor, or 20–25 cm above the top of the sofa.
Bedroom
Above the bed, choose calm shapes: moons, leaves, a family sign or a short phrase.
In children's rooms, playful designs such as butterflies, hummingbirds or animals work well; keep pieces out of reach of small children.
Majlis
Islamic calligraphy, Emirati themes and large symmetrical designs suit the formal feel of a majlis.
Balance the room: if one wall has a large piece, keep the opposite wall simpler.
Entrance, kitchen and bathroom
A welcome sign at the entrance sets the tone for guests.
Kitchen signs, coffee designs and "secret ingredient is love" style quotes add warmth to the kitchen.
Bathroom and laundry signs are a fun finishing touch; avoid areas that get wet.
Renter-friendly tips
Self-adhesive wooden art needs no nails, which suits rented apartments.
Plan the layout first with paper cut-outs taped to the wall, then hang the real pieces.
