All About the Accent Wall

There are many ways to add an accent wall to a room. The hard part is choosing what style fits your personality and the look you are going for. There is a common misconception that accent walls have to be bold and make a statement. While this can be true, they can also be understated and elegant. That is part of their beauty. They can transform a room from boring into practically any design style you are trying to achieve. Here are a few styles of accent walls you can add to any room in your home!

1. The simplest choice is to paint one wall in a room a different color than the rest. This works best if you do a more neutral color on 3 walls and a bolder color on the accent wall.

2. A step up from the first is to do stripes on one wall! Stripes are still simple for one to do on their own, but add a little more to the design and feel of a room. Stripes are a great middle ground when wanting an accent wall but not wanting to put up wall paper or spend hours stenciling. With stripes, you can choose practically any color and it will add a bold look to the room. If you are wanting a softer look, try using colors from the same family in different shades.

3. Wood plank walls are all the rage these days and we can see why! These accent walls add dimension to a space and can give any space the Joanna Gaines magical touch!

4. Adding a pattern to one wall is also another great way to create an accent wall. You can choose any pattern you want from flowers to zigzags or polka-dots and anything between! This is a great way to really show your own personality and style. The other bonus about this design is that you can either use a stencil or wall paper to achieve this look! You can even try these awesome patterned paint rollers!

5. As we have mentioned in the past, ceilings are a great way to add an accent to a room! They are often overlooked but are a great way to make a unique statement!

You can’t go wrong with an accent wall. It will instantly update your space and give a focal point to a room. Don’t be afraid to try something new or outside the box and go for something that speaks to you!
