6 feature wall ideas to spice up your home

Having a feature wall in your bedroom, living room, or any other part of your home is a great way to add depth and appeal. Check out these ways to convert a bland wall in your home into an amazing feature wall!

Paint and wallpaper

Painting or wallpapering a wall with a standout colour, such as a deep red or a gorgeous plum shade, is a quick and affordable way to make your room more lively, but don’t just stop at one colour.

Give your bedroom a beachy vibe by painting your feature wall with horizontal stripes that depict hues from sky blue at the top to warm sand at the bottom. Use some chalkboard paint to make a fun and interactive feature wall in your kids’ room or home office. Wallpaper your wall with a nice pattern. Or, if you know an artist, have them paint a mural on your wall!

Decals

Stickers and decals aren’t just for kids! Decals are cheap and easy to find; they install quickly, and you can get any design you want. If you want a DIY feature wall project, this is the way to go.

Frames and mirrors

That big expanse of space in your entryway or hallway could be much more interesting with some frames, mirrors, or artwork. Combine frames and mirrors of different sizes to create a nice effect. Mirrors can also make your space appear larger, so they’re perfect for smaller rooms and hallways. You can also put your best family photos in the frames to make your feature wall more popular.

Tiles

Tiling your wall might seem like something you’d only do in your bathroom or kitchen, but it works well for feature walls too. Mosaic tiles can make a feature wall pop just as much as they do your kitchen splashback. There are plenty of ceramic or porcelain tile options as well, so you’re spoiled for choice. Be sure to get a professional tiler to do the job to make sure that you’ll get perfect results.

Storage

Want a feature wall that is both functional and appealing? Mount some colourful or artistic shelves on it! You can find lots of beautiful shelves in all shapes and sizes online or in your local furniture store. If you don’t have the time or skill to set them up on your wall, you can also find a handyman to take care of the job.

Glass, stone, wood

For a classy home, you can’t go wrong with glass, stone, or wood feature walls. Line up some planks of beautiful hardwood on your wall. Cover it up with a veneer of bricks or natural stone such as limestone or marble. Get textured, stained, or printed glass to give your wall subtle elegance.

These materials are pricier than other feature wall options, but they are classic choices that will stand the test of time and surely boost any room’s appeal.
