Some tasteful furniture and a great color scheme are all you need for a good interior design. However, if you want standout decor, you will have to take it up a notch. The simplest way to achieve this is by giving your accent wall a makeover.
While it may seem like a simple matter, the impact of a gorgeous accent wall on your design is astounding. So, how do you knock the ball out of the park with your accent wall? Let’s find out.
1. Natural Wood for Elegance
Natural wood is very versatile. It bends to your will, as it works equally well with contemporary or country home decor. For a rustic vibe, go for a natural look, knots and all. A polished look is better for sleek decor. And hey, if natural wood is not in your budget, try faux wood instead.
2. Natural Vibe with Stone
Stone accent walls stand tall when compared with other wall decor styles. Whether you use rough granite, sandstone, marble, or slate, the impact is majestic. For a farmhouse feel, use uneven pieces of rock on your accent wall.
3. How about Wallpaper?
Patterns are an interesting way to reflect your personality. They can be subdued with a hint of design, or they can be bold and dramatic. But hey, be warned. Patterns are a powerful tool and can mar your look as easily as they can make it.
4. Maybe a Splash of Paint on Your Paneling?
Painted wall paneling oozes charm and is quite fetching. What’s more, you get to change your color when you next remodel your space, giving you oodles of opportunities for a new look every few years.
5. Textured Wall Paint
Textured wall paint was in vogue a few years ago. But hey, even now, when you see the impact textured wall paint has on your decor, you will gladly throw the rule book in the trash can.
6. Brick. Expose or Painted?
You can never fail with exposed bricks. They are best left as they are. However, if you love a splash of color, don’t worry; brick walls are accommodating and can carry off most colors with aplomb.
7. A Splash of Dark Paint
Nothing beats the drama of a stark black accent wall. Play with interesting colors on your sofa upholstery to set off the smartness of this gorgeous shade. And if black is not quite your thing, deep olive or blue will also do.
8. The Charm of Artwork
It isn’t always possible to shell out for a new accent wall. So, if you are facing a cash crunch, some strategically placed artwork will do the trick. A large canvas will suffice with the minimum of fuss. Your other option is the undeniable drama of a magnificent mirror.
9. Built-In Shelves
Built-in shelves may seem old-fashioned, but they are utterly charming. What’s more, they allow you to exercise your creative side for a gorgeous look. Once you have the unit in place, the accessories will do the rest.
10. A Picture Gallery
This no-mess, no-fuss idea makes a lovely style statement. The thing about these frames is that, even when placed randomly, they give off a great vibe. The best part? You don’t have to stretch your budget!
11. Mural Magic
Hand-painted murals add surreal beauty to the decor. But these creations don’t come cheap. The next best thing to do is to get scenic wallpapers or stickers to get almost the same effect. They are also a great way to introduce your infant to form and color, so put one up in your nursery!
12. Quirky Ideas
When we say quirky, we mean something funky that gives you satisfaction and meaning. It can be your hat collection, a strung-up bicycle, or interesting frames. The canvas is blank, and it’s all yours.
Our Thoughts
Walls are blank canvases that allow us to reflect our inner selves to the world. You can go the designer way to get outstanding decor, or settle for less exciting decor that is true to your inner being. Whatever makes you feel happy.
