Hanging décor on your walls is a great way to inject some of your own style into a space, particularly if you rent and aren't allowed to paint or hang wallpaper. But, for many, this starts and ends with framed art or photos, when actually, you can go beyond this by hanging a range of decorative items, from textiles to vintage plates.
If you're looking for some of the best decorative objects to hang on walls, it's time to get creative. Whether you want to hang something classic, like a planter, or playful, like a basketball hoop, you're sure to find something that fits your vibe.

There's nothing wrong with hanging framed art or photos on your wall, but why stop there? It's not an either/or situation. Think of it like pizza toppings — sure, you like olives on your pizza, but that doesn't mean you can't also have bell peppers in the mix or a nice handful of arugula. Framed art is great, but it can look boring if it's your only wall decoration. Finding other decorative objects to hang on walls brings extra flavor. It instantly makes rooms look more stylish because it shows you've thought beyond the usual.
The best decorative objects to hang on walls can be personal ones. Maybe you have a vintage quilt your grandma made for you or a collection of antique plates that feel too special to use every day. Hanging objects like these is a great way to display them.
But, of course, you don't have to have family heirlooms or collections of antiques to embrace this decorative choice. There are plenty of items you can buy to hang on your wall and show off your style.
THE ART BOX Tree of Life Wall Hanging
Textiles are great for hanging on walls, adding texture and interest to a room, and while you hang any textiles of your choosing, wall hangings are light and usually easy to put up. This one has a tree of life design in a choice of seven colors, including yellow, orange and rainbow.
These ceramic hanging planters have backs that sit flush against a wall so they sit nicely. If you love plants and struggle to find enough space for all that you want, these are a great choice. They come in a set of three, which you can hang together or individually.

Royal Albert 100 Years Plate Set

You might think of wall clocks as practical items, rather than pieces of décor, but there's no reason why they can't be both. Simple yet stylish, we love this clock with a range of contemporary design schemes, such as Scandinavian and Japanese minimalist. It's great hung alone or as part of a gallery wall.
These floating bookshelves not only look great, they also maximize space. They have a series of straps so that they can hold books below the shelf, then you can put your choice of items on top. Whether that's ornaments, plants or yet more books, they act as wall decoration in their own right.
