Decorating with cycles is not a luxury that’s reserved for hip restaurants and boho-themed cafes anymore. This worthy trend has found its way inside homes that want to give the space a creative edge. In this blog, we will look at some of the most interesting and innovative ways in which you can decorate your home interiors with cycles, without making it look bulky or jarring. Let’s get going.
1. The ‘Dismembered, Cool’ Look For Your Living Room
If you want to add a vintage look to your living room, here’s an amazing idea for inspiration. This unassembled vintage-bicycle-on-the-wall look doubles up as a perfect spot for a large living room space. If you have a grunge(ish) wallpaper with dark tones and plenty of wooden furniture, decorate your living room with this bicycle wheel idea. It lends a modern and ‘loft-like’ like, immediately transporting you to the city of New York and the gorgeous studio apartments you’re bound to find there. Complete the look with Edison bulbs, and you’re good to go.
2. The ‘Pastel’ Look For Your Bedroom
If you have a gorgeous bicycle that you don’t mind showing off, this is an idea for the ages. Place your bicycle, standing, right on the wooden headboard, as shown here. Use complementary pastel colours for your bedding and enjoy this unique look that’s sure to catch everyone’s attention each time they enter the room.
3. The ‘Inverted’ Cycle for a Little Experimentation
If you’re someone who loves a little bit of lateral thinking, why not place the cycle upside down, as shown above? What’s interesting to note is the placement of other furniture in and around the room–from the wooden chair desk to the right and the shelf to the right. Each element balances the other out without making the bicycle look out of place. The use of green plants and patterned decor only adds an elegant touch to the space.
4. The ‘Hipster’ Vibe for a Smaller Apartment
If you’re currently living in a smallish place and don’t have a lot of room (quite literally), here’s an amazing idea to give your apartment a hipster vibe. Try and get your hands on an old fashioned bicycle, as shown here and place it strategically (at the right height) on the wall to make it a statement piece of your living room. The use of various shades of yellow and grey in different tones ensures that the bicycle is not the only thing you notice once you enter the room.
5. The ‘Vintage’ Look for All-Things Wooden
A vintage wooden wall with vintage accessories in the foreground is a setup we often see in the movies of the 60s–not anymore. If you happen to live in an apartment that’s inherently all things wooden, here’s a great idea to give your space a lot of character. Instead of hanging the bicycle, simply place it in a corner and add tons of fresh flowers to keep the look balanced and beautiful. Cottage-themed homes can experiment with this look and give their home a complete makeover.
6. The ‘Modern’ Look For Stylish Homes
If you’ve got a wall in your home that’s a gorgeous shade of one solid colour (in this case, green), here’s an idea you can experiment with. What makes this idea worthwhile is complementing the living space with similar shades of green–by way of planters, pictures on the wall, and so on. In the end, what you get is a modern and understated look, through and through.

7. The ‘Bold’ Look for a Cheery Vibe
Fluorescent, neon(ish) colours will never go out of style, and this image right here is proof. However, a word of caution: Instead of overdoing these bright and bold colours, take inspiration from subtle objects that have been placed strategically and give your living room an effortless disco vibe.
8. The ‘Minimal’ Look for Low Maintenance Homes
if you’re someone who likes to keep your home interiors clean and minimal, this idea is worth pursuing. Find a nice cosy nook for your bicycle and complement it with other minimal elements within your home.
