Everyone who was born during the existence of the USSR knows and remembers what a carpet on the wall is.

It was only later that designers appeared who decided that this method of decoration was more of a mistake than a solution. Although there were plenty of advantages to carpets on the wall. We will tell you why it is better not to do this.

Carpet on the wall

It wasn't just a decoration of the space. Wallpaper was rarely pasted behind the carpet; it warmed the walls if they faced the street and muffled the noise from the neighboring apartment.

It is possible that designers will soon decide that it is time to return the carpets to their rightful place. But for now, instead of carpets, the walls are decorated like this.

1. Artistic compositions

You can hang several small paintings instead of one large one.

2. Shelves

This is a practical option, because paintings can get boring one day, and you can put photographs or souvenirs and other useful items on the shelves.

3. Books

Books, even if no one reads them, can also serve as interior decoration if you place them on open shelves.

4. Fireplace

It is not necessary to buy an expensive electric fireplace. Sometimes one portal is enough, which, by the way, can be made from plasterboard yourself.
