Decor idea: Make a lovely wall border with tiles

the collection of vintage wall clock, green plant etc on the wall

My new home is slowly taking shape, but with both budgetary and time constraints, things are moving at a snail’s space. And oh! there are expanses of white spaces because it’s a new construction and we would rather wait a couple of years before painting the walls in more interesting hues 🙂

So I had been mulling over painting a wall border design to remove the monotony, until I saw this lovely wall with a ceiling tile design at a new found friend’s store Ra Lifestyles. It’s such a simple thing to do, yet it looks so pretty, and really adds warmth to your rooms. Perfect for a weekend project!
Have a look.

When I visited his store, the tiles immediately caught my fancy. I have seen loads of tiling in interiors, and this is the first time I have seen them on the higher part of the wall. They are usually lower down where the furniture is arranged.

This inspired me, and I am thinking it would look good along the top of this wall in my new home.

I am linking up with The Inspired Room and Simply Stacie for a Friday inspiration blog party!
