Opt for something different from your regular old plain walls- give accent walls a to give your room a new dimension.

An extraordinary wall design – such as accentuating walls -- adds visual interest to a living space, by creating rich and distinctive look and highlighting the architectural features of your home. Highlight your walls and surprise your guests by using different elements like colors, textures and eye-catching accent pieces that make a statement about your home decor.

Colors

A pop of color is always exciting and playful. Traditionally inspired homes prefer single color for all the walls of the room. However, the “modern” approach of adding colors tends to amplify your space.  Funky wall art, murals or graffiti add both structure and playfulness to your children’s room. They set a creative mood and work as a fun element.

Textures

While patterned wallpapers bring out striking details and exciting textures; simply layering your accent wall with wooden paneling will portray a dramatic look giving depth, character, and warmth to the space. You can choose wallpapers out of the variety of reusable, great quality wallpapers in the market from modern to traditional prints.

Accent pieces

Using flamboyant accent pieces like huge mirrors, consoles, paintings and real/faux fireplaces in your feature wall offer eclectic mix of styles. They offer exquisitely striking effect. If you want to keep it elegant and classic, add antique pieces or any sort of traditional silverware or copperware or even glassware to bring emphasis on these accent pieces.

DIYs

If you want to keep it light and minimal, something as simple as photo frames can transform your whole room by creating your own memory space. Having a wall to just hang your pictures will not only refresh your memories, but will also add to the decor.

An accent wall gives a character to the space, and sets an interesting mood to the beholders. Accentuating a wall is quiet simple, but will yield dramatic results. But accessorizing your walls with wrong elements can create a chaotic scene. If you’re going to opt for colors and paints, don’t forget to choose the ones that coordinate well with the rest of the wall colors. However, if you’re using accent pieces, make sure to enhance their presence by using lights and other decorative items such as vases, flowers, candle holders etc. And be specific about what you want on your feature wall, and choose elements that blend together with each other and the whole theme of your house décor.
