Tips to create a stunning feature wall

From artwork to decorative accessories like clocks, plates and mirrors you can create any feature wall design you can think of. Besides there are plenty of other decorative options like vinyl stickers, patterned wallpapers, or interesting wall paint design.

Choose the wall without doors and windows for your feature wall design. Feature wall is usually the brightest in the room. It jazzes up the calm interior design and adds color, depth and personality to your room decor.

Feature wall is perfect for complex patterns, bright colors, and intricate accessories. It also gives a larger focus to the room in general and can tell about the room owner’s personality. Some feature walls have a lively paintings that imitate natural sights like sea, forest or something else. You can also leave one wall completely bare featuring brick so that you get an industrial vibe to your decor.

Think about what you want to have on your feature wall. It can be a beautiful wallpaper or painting, but it can also have shelves with your favorite books, decorations and pictures. You can express anything from your personality to your style through the feature wall and yet make your design look complete and bright.

Small, not large

A feature wall is a place of fairly intense visual activity, so you want to make sure that it is not overwhelming. This means that you should not pick a wall that is too large. If you have a large wall that you want to make into a feature wall, “shrink” it by placing a large object against the wall to one side or otherwise blocking the wall off.

Experiment with colour

One very simple way to make a feature wall is to simply paint it a different color than the other walls. For example, if you have white walls, you may want to paint your feature wall a sunny yellow to pick up the sunlight as it comes in the windows, or you may want to paint it a lush green to evoke the cool forests. If you are leery of choosing something so bold right off the bat, think about painting three of the walls a very soft pastel, and then painting your feature wall a bolder version of the same color.

Choose a blank wall

The more blank the wall, the better. Essentially, you need a blank canvas when you start to work on your feature wall. Doorways and windows tend to get in the way of this if they are not off to one side.

Beautiful decals

One way to make a feature wall stand out is to use vinyl decals. One of the great things about decals is that they are easy to put on and take off. If you decide you don’t like a certain design or if you want to position it differently, you can peel it from your wall and reapply it as you deem necessary.
