How to make your feature wall project the ‘WOW factor’

Accent walls are the best way to get a simple but high impact feature into your room. Using one wall you can express your style and be a little bold with your design. You don’t need to have a huge budget to get the benefits of a feature wall. Using thoughtful colours and patterns in the right space will give your space artistic character.

Some tips to consider when creating a feature wall:

1. Choose a wall that’s farthest from the room’s entrance to be the feature wall. You will find that you are drawn into the space.

2. Choose a colour because you love, think bold! Make sure it complements the rest of the room.

3. Wallpaper isn’t just for walls. Think about applying it to the fifth wall: your ceiling

4. Using monochromatic furnishings against a colourful accent wall can further increase its visual impact.

5. Keep in mind that choosing bold wall patterns in vertical stripes can make your ceiling appear higher, and horizontal stripes can make your room look larger.

6. Select a nature-based mural scene to add charm and character to any space.

7. Consider the bedroom headboard wall as a focal point for textured wallpaper with a geometric pattern.

8. Who wouldn’t enjoy a large-scale old world map for accenting a wall in the den or study?
