Ideas on How to Create a Mesmerizing Background for Your YouTube Videos

If you are fresh in the YouTube game, you may already have noticed that apart from creating engaging content, the visual aspect plays a great role as well. No matter what your weekly topics are, both you and your audience will enjoy the videos a lot more if you take the time to make yourself look nice and create an equally appealing background that can be a stylish reflection of you. Apart from the obvious and most basic tip that applies to all you-tubers, which is to make sure there's enough light all over the filming area, you also need to think about adding a few well chosen home decoration items. 

What Contemporary Home Décor Items Can Draw Your Viewers' Eyes?

A Message Board with Design Letters

This idea can be especially useful if your videos have to do with the topics of well-being and beauty. You can either hang the board on the wall or leave it leaning against the wall on a table or a dresser behind you. For better visual impact, make sure that the quality of the letters is high and that they are sharp-edged. You can even create a lively and personal wall decoration by arranging a few message boards together. Add an additional touch of interest by making you choice of such home decoration items versatile - in different colours and sizes.  

A Set of Poster Art Prints

If you do commentary videos that have to do with music, movies, TV series, fashion or YouTube creators themselves, then you can show off your artsy personality by having a set of poster art prints be the base of your background. One great idea is to go for prints that feature organic shapes and abstract art. Another one is to frame some of your favorite movie posters. Depending on the vibe you want to give off, you can opt for dim pastels for a more tranquil ambiance and bolder colours for an edgier aesthetic.

Desk Sculptures

Now for the more serious of topics such as personal growth, psychology, medical advice, nutrition etc. there are more serious home decoration items. But that doesn't mean that these cannot ooze with charm and be fun to look at. Quite the contrary, they can be very visually engaging if chosen right. For instance, you can get a set of four small accessory objects that differ in material and shape: circular paperweight in stoneware, a triangle bookend in marble, a wooden cone and an arc in brass.
