Looking to add an extra wow factor to your space without having to swap all your furniture or add pricey built-ins? A feature wall (or walls!) may be exactly what you need to inject some life into your room. Below are some ideas ranging from subtle textures to bold big designs that are sure to draw the eye and make you stop in your tracks every time you enter the room!
- Limewash – With their chalky, nuanced texture and romantic feel, limewash walls are a strong trend in home decor. While limewash is traditionally made from crushed limestone, it’s possible to recreate this look in a less permanent manner using paint.
- Wallpaper – With so many prints, patterns and colours available, it’s easy to choose a wallpaper you love but sometimes it’s not so easy installing it yourself, especially if the pattern repeats and you need to be extra precise with your alignment. Luckily, we are experts at applying wallpaper!
- Clever Molding – Molding can make a major statement in any room of the home and can be mounted in various different shapes or patterns. Continuing it up to the ceiling is even more impactful, and painting the molding the same colour as the wall creates a subtle but beautiful design.
- Board and Batten – A tried and true accent wall approach that continues to remain popular in all types of homes, especially in libraries, bedrooms and entryways.
- Go Two-Toned – Paint the top third of your wall one colour and the bottom third another for immediate impact, or reverse the ratio and extend the top colour onto the ceiling.
- Paneling – Tongue and groove boards can be mounted horizontally, vertically, or in a modern chevron pattern for an elevated and impactful look.
- Decals – Not ready to commit to wallpaper? Try adding vinyl decals to create your own mural or pattern against a bold colour on the wall.
