"Launched in 2005, Home-Dzine was created to realise a dream; to express my love of home DIY and decor and share with other South Africans. As a non-commercial website I am free to express my own opinions and pass on valuable information to readers.
I feel that more people can benefit by being able to DIY home improvement and home repairs. And we're not talking about major DIY home repairs, but those that anyone with a bit of DIY savvy can do themselves."
Walls that "WOW'
There are so many great ways to design walls, and not just feature walls,,, but walls that have "WOW' factor. Here are some stunning examples of walls that wow...
Graffiti feature walls
Shannon Crees is an artist extrordinaire. Turning her love of graffiti into art and murals that are earning her respect and fans around the world.
Her work caught my attention when putting together a decor and design article on Melissa Collison.
This graffitti mural [above] is prominently displayed at a home designed by Collison in Vaucluse.
ABOVE and BELOW: I absolutely love this pencil wall and see this as a future feature in my home. Who would have thought that something so simple could look so gorgeous. A soft pencil or charcoal and you can be creative without end...!
Wall murals and wallpapers
Wall murals and wallpaper can easily add impact to a plain wall. I love the range of Fired Earth wallpapers at Builders Warehouse, and they have a varied selection of wall murals as well [see below].
Mosaic tile walls
Mosaic returns to favour as a design trend and can been seen adorning walls in modern and contemporary homes around the world.
Gone are the ceramic bits from days gone by, to be replaced by glass, mirror and stainless steel that shimmers and shines, reflecting light and adding a touch of glamour to any room in a home.
With so many design options, you can be as creative as you like with mosaic tile. There is no limit to colour combinations that you can apply to walls and floors - and not just in bathrooms.

Stainless steel walls

Dress your walls in stainless steel - why not?
Stainless steel walls tiles, mosaic tiles and cladding are just one of many new wall cladding products to hit the market.
Manufacturers are touting these as anti- bacterial and anti- pollution, as well as durable and 100% recyclable.
Not to mention that they look gorgeous!
