How to make a sofa backdrop wall a highlight in your home? Today, we have compiled some unique design schemes for everyone, hoping to bring inspiration to your decoration.

01

Storage background wall

Create a storage background wall behind the sofa, which can not only decorate the space, but also meet the storage needs.

▶ Whole wall bookcase

Making a whole bookcase on the sofa background wall not only adds a scholarly atmosphere, but also greatly improves the storage capacity of the home.

▶ Small display stand

If you feel that the whole cabinet looks heavy, you can design it into a simple shelf form, which has both storage function and unique features.

Design Points:

① The depth of the cabinet can be set at about 30 cm, and daily necessities, books, snacks, etc. can be easily stored.

② The cabinet body can follow the principle of “hiding eight and exposing two”. Books or decorations can be placed in open compartments, and sundries can be stored in closed cabinets to keep the walls clean and beautiful.

③ If you make a whole wall cabinet, the sofa should not be close to the wall. It is recommended to leave an aisle distance of about 0.9-1.2 meters. If the living room area is small, this design is not recommended.

02

Gypsum line background wall

If you prefer a simple yet layered design, a plaster line backdrop wall will be a good choice. It has a sense of design, is not ostentatious, and its construction is relatively simple. It can be controlled by both large and small apartments.

▶ Concise plaster lines

Outline one or two circles of plaster lines on the background wall, the overall space will appear simple and comfortable, and the border lines can effectively enhance the texture of the space.

Design Points:

① Gypsum lines are rich in patterns and arranged in various ways, and can be designed according to the overall decoration style.

② The effect of gypsum thread is closely related to the material, so it is recommended to choose products with better quality.

03

Tile background wall

Ceramic tiles are directly attached to the wall, with outstanding texture and high cost performance, and the color and style can be customized according to preferences.

It is characterized by wear-resistance, moisture-proof, easy to clean, durability, and visually can make a three-dimensional effect similar to carving, which is why many families choose it.

Whether it’s luxurious marble tiles, simple and simple antique tiles, fresh and natural wood grain tiles, or colorful tiles… as long as they are properly matched, the tile background wall can always become the focus of people’s eyes!

04

Latex paint background wall

Painting latex paint on walls is the most common and simple decoration method, and it can be combined in different forms:

▶ Pure latex paint

① Various colors such as black, white, red, green and gray can be realized.

② Whether it is single-color, two-color block or multi-color splicing, latex paint can be easily completed.

③ It should be noted that if the living room space is small, it is best not to choose dark colors, so as not to appear depressed.

▶ Latex paint + decorative painting

If you feel that simple latex paint is not refined enough and want a stronger sense of design, you can match it with decorative paintings.

Key points of hanging pictures:

① When hanging three or more paintings on the wall, first plan the overall arrangement shape, and the interval between the paintings is 5-8 cm to avoid messy appearance.

② If only one picture is hung, it is recommended to hang the vertical picture on the side, while the banner is suitable for hanging in the middle.

③ The center point of the hanging painting is about 1.5-1.6 meters away from the ground, which can be fine-tuned according to the height of the family, and is roughly flush with the eye level.

④ The lower edge of the hanging painting is about 1-1.2 meters away from the ground. You can refer to the height of the sofa backrest, which is generally 40-60 cm higher than the sofa.

▶ Latex Paint + Wood Finish

If you want to add wall features, you can also add elements such as wooden grilles or wooden veneers to make the whole look more layered.

05

Partition background wall

Many horizontal hall units will face the situation that there is no physical sofa background wall. At this time, it is very appropriate to create a background wall through partitions.

▶ The partition form such as hollow, glass or cabinet is adopted to give the sofa with nowhere to rely on a looming “backer”.

Using light-transmitting materials for partitions can also increase the design sense of the space.

▶ The half-wall sofa background wall will not completely separate the space and affect the lighting, but can also be combined with practical functions such as desk or bar.

If you lack storage space, you can also use a low cabinet as a partition ~
