Feature Walls

A feature wall, also known as an accent wall, is a wall in a room that stands out from the others by using a different colour, material or finish. It draws attention and creates a dynamic element within your space. Feature walls are often used to highlight architectural features or to add depth to a room.

Why Choose a Feature Wall?

Feature walls are a popular interior design choice for several reasons:

  • Add personality: Feature walls allow you to express your style through bold colours, patterns, or textures that stand out from the rest of the room.
  • Create a focal point: Whether it's a fireplace, a bed's headboard, or a TV unit, a feature wall enhances the visual impact of the area it highlights.
  • Enhance room proportions: Feature walls can make small rooms feel bigger and large rooms feel more cozy by adding depth and interest to the space.
  • Cost-effective transformation: You can dramatically change the feel of a room without needing to repaint or redesign the entire space.

Popular Feature Wall Finishes

There are several ways to create a feature wall, depending on your personal style and the room’s purpose. Some popular finishes include:

  • Bold paint colours: A striking paint colour can make a big impact, especially in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas.
  • Textured finishes: Plaster, exposed brick, or stone finishes add depth and a tactile element to your walls.
  • Wallpaper: Intricate patterns or bold prints can elevate a room’s design. See below for more details on wallpapering options.
  • Wood panelling: Wooden feature walls are perfect for adding warmth and an organic feel to your space.

Wallpapering Service

Wallpaper is an excellent option for creating feature walls, offering a wide range of designs, textures, and patterns that cannot be easily replicated with paint alone. From floral motifs to geometric designs, wallpaper can bring a unique flair to any room.

Why Choose Wallpaper for a Feature Wall?

Wallpaper offers several advantages when used as a feature wall treatment:

  • Unlimited design options: With so many patterns, textures, and colours available, wallpaper can fit any style—from traditional to contemporary.
  • Durability: Modern wallpapers are designed to be durable, easy to clean, and long-lasting.
  • Quick transformation: Wallpaper can quickly change the look of a room, offering a big impact with minimal effort.
  • Hide imperfections: Wallpaper can help conceal wall imperfections like small cracks or uneven surfaces.


FAQs

While any wall can technically become a feature wall, it's best to choose a wall that naturally draws attention, such as the one behind a bed or sofa, or a wall with architectural interest like a fireplace.
Wallpaper installation requires precision, especially for patterned designs. While it can be done as a DIY project, hiring a professional ensures a flawless installation.
High-quality wallpaper can last for years, often up to 10-15 years, if applied correctly. It is more durable than paint and can withstand wear and tear, especially in low-traffic areas.
When choosing wallpaper, consider the style of the room and the atmosphere you want to create. Bold, vibrant patterns work well in living areas, while softer, muted tones are perfect for bedrooms or calming spaces.
