How Accent Walls Give Your Interior Design A Boost

A dining room with a blue accent wall

Giving your home a needed makeover can prove challenging for homeowners. They may feel their home decor needs a little something extra, but they do not want to dive into a world of repainting every single wall of their home when they feel the need to change something. Instead of focusing on changing the entirety of your interior design, could focusing a single wall on adding a pop of contrast become the best course of action? 

For many homeowners, picking one dining room or living room wall to be the one that takes the stylistic chances can help liven up the overall design. Transforming this one wall into an accent wall that you can quickly change with the right wallpaper installation in Newtown Square, PA, can help you get out of any home design ruts.

Creating A Focal Point

While blank walls present a wealth of opportunities for your next DIY project, the sheer number of possibilities can quickly become overwhelming for people. Picking between neutral colors, wood paneling themed wallpaper, or even a custom wall mural can bring different dimensions to your interior design, but deciding on your internal environments can still be daunting. 

By picking one wall to be the focal point for people entering that particular room, you can make the process much more straightforward and easier to manage. Accent walls, for example, can function as a beacon of light and contrast to the rest of the room. If you have predominantly white walls featured in the room, a complementary accent color can help create renewed positive feelings about your interior space. 

Paint or Wallpaper?

Now that you have decided on creating an engaging accent wall for your home, deciding what to use to create these pieces becomes the next step. Using a professional painting service can bring that professional look to your freshly painted wall; however, making changes to that wall can quickly become time-consuming. Accent wallpaper can provide you a cost-effective and readily replaceable alternative if you want to make design changes on the fly. 

Wallpaper provides you with a wide range of colors and designs to fit your current mood. You can bring unique patterns to help contrast with stark white walls or with whatever primary color you have chosen for the room in question.  

Doing Accent Walls Right

When most people think of accent walls, they picture a pop of color that draws people’s eyes as they walk into the room. It’s a singular and one-dimensional function that piques visual interest, and that’s its primary function. However, if you deploy your accent walls properly, you can deliver on a secondary front that takes your interior design to another level. 

For example, a combination kitchen and dining space can confuse where the cooking starts and the eating begins. By incorporating an accent wall into the design of the space, you can differentiate between specific areas of a given space. The accent wall serves the secondary purpose of showcasing where the dining area begins in the shared space and ultimately helps the flow of the room. 

Highlighting Unique Design Features

Not every accent has to take up an entire wall. With newer homes featuring unique architectural design elements, a gallery wall can help draw attention to the design feature. If your home has unique design features, finding ways to display them in visually appealing ways becomes essential for your interior design experience.
