Your bedroom should be a cozy personal oasis. To achieve this, you can’t only put effort into your furniture and how you style your bed — you also have to think about the walls. Perhaps you don’t want to clutter the space with too much decor, and that’s fine. An accent wall can be the statement you need to achieve the look and feel you’ve always wanted.
While a classic option, painting a single wall in your bedroom isn’t the only way to accent. Here are a few other fun ways to accent a bedroom wall:
- Two-toned paint
Step away from traditional accent walls and embrace the modern trend of two-toned paint. You can create a stunning visual impact by pairing contrasting hues, resulting in a bold look. For a more subtle transition, use two similar colors in lighter shades. You can divide the colors horizontally to add interest to a long wall or vertically to widen a narrow room.
- Textured panels
Incorporating materials like wood, stone, or brick into your accent wall can add unique texture to your room. Exposed stone or brickwork can create a rustic or industrial aesthetic, while fluted walls and wood trim will give your bedroom a more modern look. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to bring these textures into your room, look into peel-and-stick options.
- Natural Elements
Being out in nature is known to be soothing and relaxing. Bring some of those feelings inside by incorporating natural elements on your accent wall. Whether you install reclaimed wood planks, flank your bed with hanging plants, or hang a shelf and line it with succulents and other small plants, these natural elements infuse the space with warmth, texture, and a soothing ambiance.
- Wallpaper
Do you want to express your creativity and personality? Consider using wallpaper for your accent wall. Traditional wallpaper holds a bad reputation because of outdated designs and how difficult it is to remove. Say goodbye to your old perception and explore the world of temporary wallpapers. They’re available in trendy colors and styles, so you can achieve a subtle yet impactful accent wall that’s easily removable.
- Geometric patterns
A geometric pattern accent wall can bring visual interest, texture, and depth into your room. Use paint, wood, or tile and create patterns of popular shapes, like circles, hexagons, triangles, or squares. These geometric designs are versatile and will complement styles ranging from contemporary and modern to rustic and traditional.
- Photo collage
Whether you want to hang pictures of yourself with the people you love or display pieces of your digital artwork or photography, putting a photo collage on display is a unique and sentimental option for an accent wall. Decide whether you’ll match the frames or use different shapes, sizes, and colors to create an eye-catching display.
