Incorporating a feature wall is a fantastic way to refresh your home during January.
A feature wall acts as a focal point in a room, drawing attention to a certain area with style and character. Here are some of the best ways to achieve a feature wall that will stand out:
Bold Paint Colours
Choosing a striking and contrasting colour for one wall can dramatically alter the ambiance of a room. Deep shades like navy blue, charcoal, or emerald green work brilliantly in living rooms or bedrooms. Lighter tones such as soft pastels or warm neutrals are better for spaces that need a subtle touch. Ensure the rest of the room complements the feature wall by implementing complementary or neutral colours.
Wallpaper
Wallpaper with striking patterns, textures, or metallic finishes is a great option. From botanical prints to geometric designs, wallpaper adds depth and personality to the room. You can choose a single wallpapered wall or create a cohesive appearance by selecting coordinating fabrics and accessories.
Wood Cladding or Panelling
Wooden feature walls, whether reclaimed wood, shiplap, or tongue and groove panelling, create a warm and rustic atmosphere. These natural textures are ideal for creating a cosy atmosphere, particularly in living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms. Consider painting the wood in a contrasting colour to promote the visual effect.
Gallery Wall
A gallery wall featuring framed art, photographs, or even mirrors can bring personality and panache to your feature wall. Combine different frame styles and sizes for an eclectic, yet curated, impression. This approach is especially great for living rooms or hallways.
Statement Wall with Shelving
Add floating shelves to display plants, books, or other decorative pleasantries. This not only enhances the feature wall but also offers practical storage space. Choose shelves in a material that contrasts with the wall colour for added appeal.
