Despite what many interior design influencers would have you believe, refreshing the look of your home doesn’t have to involve major renovation projects, replacing furniture or repainting entire walls.

Often, what you put on your walls makes the biggest difference when adding character to your space.

You don’t have to limit yourself to posters and photographs either – there is a huge array of wall decor and hangings that can add personality to plain walls.

Even as a renter, there are ways to get decorations up with zero damage, and if you have a flexible landlord, it’s even easier to engineer a more lived-in feel.

Our testers searched high and low for a variety of wall hangings that would suit all types of people. Whether you’re looking to simply add an accent, soften up a room, or even make a big impression with a work of art, we’ve chosen pieces that have personality and make a statement.

Most pieces can be hung up using Command hooks, which are popular among renters as they can be safely removed without leaving a mark or damaging the wall, and depending on which type of hook is used, can hold a decent amount of weight.

You can trust our independent reviews. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent.
