An accent wall can totally transform a room, taking it from boring
and drab to bold and exciting. Accent walls create a new focal point for
your space, add liveliness and contrast, and are typically a very
inexpensive DIY project.
The starter accent wall
You can easily add an accent wall to your room in one afternoon by
applying a new paint color. Deep blues and bright oranges are common
choices for accent walls, but choose a color that will complement your
existing decor and overall design aesthetic.
Interesting textures
Bright, contrasting paint is a good starting point, but there are
other options for accent walls that are even more eye-catching and
distinct. Floor-to-ceiling wood planks can make your home seem both
rustic and modern all at once and provide a natural, outdoors-inspired
feel. It’s more work than simply painting a wall, but it’s still
relatively inexpensive. You can source the wood from pallets on
Craigslist and stain it yourself before attaching it to your wall. It
takes a little extra elbow grease, but it’s worth the effort.
Patterns, murals, and more
Paint and wood are bold enough on their own to transform a room, but
they’re still pretty subtle compared to other accent wall options. A
chalk paint accent wall is a creative idea for any room and makes for
some fun moments when you’re entertaining. There are also endless
options for wallpaper and stenciling if you want some patterns or you
can get really bold with a mural or oversized art print.
