Accent walls are among the most transformative elements you can incorporate into your space. A well-chosen wallpaper can redefine your room’s character and be a focal point in your home. Mike Bradshaw Wallcovering Inc. has elevated countless bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas with expertly designed and installed accent walls. Here are some of their tips:
The Power of Accent Walls
An accent wall is decorated with a distinct color, pattern, or texture. It adds depth and dimension to a room with contrast, guiding the eye to a specific point, such as a fireplace, large window, or striking piece of art. A well-executed accent wall instructs the eye on how to view a room, altering the tone and feel of the space.
Enhancing Key Living Spaces
Bedroom accent walls can either make a dramatic statement or create a tranquil environment for sleep. Consider soft, nature-inspired designs for a relaxing space or a bold color full of energy and sophistication.
In a living room, an accent wall ties together furniture, lighting, and decor. Geometric patterns complement contemporary designs, while textured finishes such as faux brick or faux stone create depth and a luxurious ambiance.
Set the backdrop for memorable dinner parties with a carefully chosen dining room accent wall. Elegant, intricate patterns refine and elevate your space, while warm tones create a cozy, inviting feel.
Selecting the Perfect Wallpaper
Choosing the wrong wallpaper for your accent wall can undermine your accent wall goals. Before selecting a design, consider:
1. Purpose and mood: Use soft colors and subtle patterns for a calm, restful space. To energize a room, choose bold, vibrant, statement designs.
2. Scale and Proportion: Large, intricate designs work best on large walls, while small patterns are better for compact spaces. Using large designs in small spaces can confuse the eye, and small designs can get lost in large spaces.
3. Existing Décor: Unless you plan on redesigning a room around an accent wall, select a wallpaper that compliments your furniture, accessories, and color scheme. A cohesive look enhances a space without overwhelming it.
4. Test Samples: Always get a sample before committing. Designs can look drastically different in person, especially under different lighting conditions.
5. Quality Materials: better materials result in a better, more durable finish. At Mike Bradshaw Wallcovering Inc., we invest in premium materials that stand the test of time.
