Designer Insights: Elevating Your Space with Accent Walls
Many homes have rooms that are lacking architectural features such as large windows or a fireplace.
Incorporating accent walls can add a touch of creativity and visual interest to your home. Take a room with blank walls that is being used as a home office or bedroom and transform the space into something more functional by adding bookshelves or other cabinetry. Bookshelves are a great opportunity to display collections and family photos. Be sure to plan what you would like to be included for display, and consider viewing height and ease of access if items need to be taken down and used frequently.
Using Wall Planking to Enhance Your Accent Walls
Wall planking can be an easy way to add texture to almost any room of the home. Planks can be installed either horizontally or vertically. Wood planking can be made in all types of finishes, from painted with rustic distress to flawless stained finishes that are modern and chic. Thin bricks, tile, or stone cladding can be added to walls as well for an easy refresh as well.
There are many layouts and variations, and materials can be combined to create a custom look. Of course, there is always an opportunity to add color by painting a wall or room a contrasting shade. Wallpaper comes in many different styles and colors including timeless high-end grass cloth and amazing commercial-grade vinyl patterns that are completely washable.
Utilize Wall Collages to Amplify Your Accent Walls
Another fun way to decorate a plain wall is to do a photo wall collage. It takes a lot of planning and must be hung precisely, but the results can be stunning. Take some time gathering all of the photos you want to include. Photos can be reprinted to any size, making it fun to arrange in different ways. We love to design custom photo walls for our clients, using precise CAD drawings to perfect the layouts.
Then we work with our custom framer to select the perfect matching frames and mattes to preserve your precious memories. Consider hanging a collection of your favorite art pieces as another option for a fun wall collage layout. Or better yet, hire us to curate a custom art wall from our favorite galleries.
