Enliven the wall
As an essential design element, wall always performs the
function of dividing up the whole space as well as building
the sense of space. Wall usually occupies the largest area
in an interior space, thus it can be used as natural drawing
board on which people can create at their own pleasure:
drawing a few vivid lines, painting with various colours, or
hanging attractive pictures. With these distinctive creations,
the wall itself will become more alive and at the same time
makes the whole interior more charming. Nowadays more
and more people begin to decorate walls with different
materials, wallpaper, wall painting, wall sticker, picture, paint
and many others, for it can not only invigorate the whole
space but show the personality of the owner.
Wallpaper, as dress of the wall, always imparts different
feelings, romantic or enthusiastic, calm or charming, to the
whole interior. In recent years, more and more designers
begin to set foot in the filed of wallpaper design, which of
course endows more artistic elements to wallpaper. In order to
bring forth the glamour and artistic feature of wallpaper into
full play, designers should have a complete understanding of
wallpaper and at the same time make wallpaper conform to
the certain atmosphere of its context.
Wall painting, as the most creative measure of wall
decoration, is also of great popularity nowadays. People can
draw whatever they like on the wall and create different ideal
worlds for themselves, for example, employing the lively green
to embody the vigorous life, using the honey pink to express
the romantic sentiment, applying a cluster of trees or flowers
to show the passion for nature, etc. All in all, we can refer to
one poetic sentence to feature wall painting Whether she is
richly adorned or plainly dressed is always proper and pretty.
Wall sticker is the simple and flexible measure of wall
decoration. People can stick their favorite patterns cut from
paper or cloth on the wall to make a beautiful picture. For
example, we can cut from the disused figured cloth different
patterns such as flower, bird and leaf to form a picture that
gives off the aura of spring. Wall sticker now becomes deeply
favoured for it not only makes full use of the abandoned
material but beautifies the interior. Just as one proverb
indicates: kill two birds with one stone.
Wall picture, in whatever shape or size, can make the wall
more lively. More important, wall paper can reflect the
aesthetic taste and cultural accomplishment of its owner. Thus
more and more people choose wall picture to decorate their
space and at the same time to show their aesthetic pursuit
and personal character. In addition, it is of equal importance
to choose a picture that not only conforms to the style of the
whole interior but suits the feature of the wall itself.
Paint is the simplest measure of wall decoration for it can
be easily made and employed. Paint also can enrich
the wall with various colours. Nowadays, more and more
environmental paints are being produced, which of course
broadens peoples choice.
In addition to the five measures mentioned above, there are
also many other materials that are usually used to decorate
wall, such as Mosaic, marble, glass plate,(all these are
classified as cold materials) and board, fabric(all these are
classified as warm materials).
The book Wall Decoration mainly illustrates the different
measures, wall paper, wall painting, wall sticker, wall picture
paint and others that can invigorate the wall, which is
beneficial to all the readers.

Glass decoration
Glass in the common sense refers to a hard, brittle, and transparent
amorphous solid with excellent optical property by transmitting,
reflecting and absorbing light.
It has long been used as a construction and decoration material. The
Byzantine Church, built 1000 years ago, is decorated with glass Mosaic
on the wall, floor and ceiling; the religious architectures of gothic style
built in the medieval time take stained glass as walls. In modern time,
glass becomes an indispensable material in construction and interior
decoration. Recently, many new types of glass are being produced by
adding other materials or being treated with specific processes to
satisfy the improving demand of people.

diversified patterns to decorate the corners, the curved surface and
columns in a space.
