If you’re looking for cost-effective ways to spruce up your home, feature walls should definitely be on your to-do list. It can be something as simple as mismatched crockery on an open shelf, a simple memory wall with picture frames, or incorporating a bold patterned wallpaper – give wings to your creativity, and if you need a little wind under those wings, this blog will give you just that!
Bringing you ideas and inspiration from designers, here are the top 5 ways you can create a feature wall in your home:
Luxe Drapes with Dreamy Falls & Lush Pleats
Design aficionados reserve a special place for drapes in their heart and love to experiment with new ways of using them. Using made-to-measure curtains falling from the ceiling right to the floor into a soft puddle is one of the simplest ways to create a feature wall. The ripples and waves of the pleats create a beautiful visual effect and add a touch of warmth to your space. When used strategically, custom curtains can also be used to tie in the decor of your room or bring in an unexpected colour or pattern.
Bring Out the Dishware
There’s nothing as sad as a pretty set of crockery wasting away its potential in your cupboard. Display mismatched or matchy-matchy dishes on your walls and witness the transformative power of simple thoughtful additions to any space -your plain walls will be redefined with plates sitting right in your home. Talk about cost-effectiveness! This is also a great way to add colour to an all-white kitchen or a surprise element to your living room.
Splash Colours with Mosaic Artwork
Mosaic is itself a head-turning accent element – a form of art very sure of its standing and earning compliments from every onlooker. They can be the much-needed ‘wow factor’ in a room. However, not that since mosaic artwork looks best in vibrant colours, and it will be the brightest part of your room, the rest of the space would need to balance with neutrals and plains, or the entire room might end up feeling too overwhelming and cluttered.
Murals & Wallpapers
Murals and wallpapers instantly draw attention and can transform the entire look and feel of a room. There’s a wide range of designs available, from nature scenes and cityscapes to abstract patterns and custom graphics. This variety allows you to find something that perfectly suits your style and complements the overall theme of the room. For instance, in modern decor, abstracts and geometrics will be your best match and for country decor, ditzy florals will relay just that rustic rural charm of the home. Additionally, you can pair the floral pattern on the wall with custom upholstery and floral curtains.
Decorative Wall Paneling for Architectural Splendour
Decorative wall paneling offers a versatile and stylish solution to enhance the aesthetic appeal of any interior space. With various materials such as wood, PVC, or even fabric, wall panelling can add texture, depth, and warmth to a room. From sleek lines to beautiful arches, or custom designs and intricate carvings, whatever your style and decor language, wall-panelling is a great way to add artistic charisma to a space.
Conclusion
Creating a feature wall in your home can be as creative and surprising as you want it to be. Just keep in mind that the wall can become a focal point only when it is a part of a room and not completely disconnected from the rest of the space. A feature wall should complement the existing design aesthetic rather than stand out as an isolated element. So, factor in the decor of your space while choosing your feature wall idea. To explain with an example, in a minimalist home, plain white wall panelling or simple geometric patterns in neutral shades can be used. But in a maximalist space, custom drapery, bold wallpaper or statement artwork will be more befitting choices.
With that, we hope you’ve begun envisioning your feature wall already, and whatever your creative vision entails, we’re confident that the ideas presented in this blog will help bring it to fruition. So, happy decorating!
