When you do not wish to fully commit to a bright color, a bold pattern, or a bizarre material. Choose to highlight a particular section of your room with your preferred choice of color, pattern, or material.
Accent walls originated in the early 2000s and are to date – well appreciated in the interior design world.
You can personalize a wall, corner, or ceiling to create a big impact – on the aesthetics of your room.
Experiment with color, material, and pattern to instantly change the vibe of a room. Check out these living rooms with some unique and stunning accent walls.
Apart from color and material, subtle decorative detailing can make a wall pop. The homeowner has used picture molding to create this amalgamation of wainscoting and the board and batten style. Here is a mid-century modern wall detail that will stand the test of time.
Wood slat accent walls look sophisticated and have a luxurious vibe. The Arne Vodder sideboard showcasing 1960’s Israeli pottery marvels and a sculpture from Australia – sits well against the wood slat wall. The womb chair fits the theme while managing to stand out with its sky blue color.
The bling from the copper inlays emitting from the crevices of the concrete-like plaster – gives a polished look to the geometric patterned wall. When presented in their raw form – they look rustic, but they can be dressed up to look elegant – like this black brick feature wall. The tropical scenery with palm groves and exotic birds sets the tone of this room. You can even opt for customized wallpapers where you can pick your own designs and have them manufactured to fit your wall shape and size.
The in-built storage cabinet works in favor of aesthetics and function. The edges of the shelves painted in the color of the wall add a hint of interest.
The gold metallic spotlights adorn the walls and illuminate the display area. And so, creating a focal point around the fireplace is the most common and easiest decor idea. The wall paneling looks sophisticated, while the block of wood mantel adds a touch of simplicity. The seamless transition of the display area into the fireplace is due to the choice of colors. The contrast is evident in the use of gold decorative pieces, brown woven baskets, and logs of wood. The touch of greenery adds life to the black, gray room.
The neatly stacked log of wood and the furniture pieces in subtle shades magnify the beauty of the concrete walls. Transform a dull corner of your room with a wood slat accent wall.
Arrange a beautiful leather armchair, a sleek floor lamp, some plants, a comfy cushion, and a throw blanket to create a comfortable reading nook.
You can pick contrasting bold colors or stick to a combination of white with your favorite shade.
Painting the lower sections a warmer color makes the room feel warm and cozy. And brighten up the space with matching decor pieces like artwork, blinds, cushions, and crockery.
The pink and blue decor turns the space into a sweet and friendly atmosphere. And for an unexpected pop of color, paint the ceiling a muted baby pink shade. Yellow color is illuminating, and when painted on the ceiling – it immediately draws your eyes upwards.
