The power of an accent wall

Sponsored Content

SPONSORED CONTENT - A popular decorating trend is creating an accent wall in your home or office.

An accent wall is a single wall in a room that is a different colour, texture or design from the other walls. It is a great way to personalise your space.

There are many options when it comes to creating an accent wall, from bold colours or stripes to wallpaper or textured materials such as wood, stone or brick.

An accent wall is an easy way to make a statement and can completely change the whole space.

Go bold

There is no need to shy away from bold colours when it comes to accent walls.

Many people go for a safe option and choose a subtle colour that is close to the rest of the walls, but if you find a colour that you absolutely love, don’t be afraid to try it out.

A bold and bright colour can look great if it matches the other décor and accents in the room. Check out all the colour options from Universal Paints: https://universalpaints.co.za/colours/

Designs

When deciding on the design of your accent wall, why not think outside of the box and explore the various design possibilities available?

You don’t have to limit yourself to a single colour; you could paint stripes, chevrons and other shapes.

Or, take a walk on the wild side and add character to a room with colour blocking, painting an arch or painting a mural. With a little creativity and imagination, an accent wall can bring a WOW factor to any room.

Art

When creating your accent wall, paint is not the only thing to consider. Showcase your personality with pictures, artwork, tapestry and other décor elements to create a feature wall. There are all kinds of embellishments that can be added to a wall to create a more interesting and visually appealing look.

Neutral

An accent wall is a great way to add a subtle touch of colour to your room. Neutral colours like browns and tans are great options that can be used to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Consider adding a few other décor elements (such as wall art, mirrors, or even a rug) to bring out the colours in the accent wall and make the space more interesting.

Furniture and lighting

An accent wall creates a focal point, so be mindful of the placement of furniture so that you don’t cover up its beauty. It is also important to consider the lighting in the room by painting a swatch so that you can view the colour at various times of the day.
