Making an accent wall is a timeless decor idea that fits any room and any style as it’s a cool way to accent your room. Such an accent is usually made with some contrasting paint or wallpaper but there’s a more eye-catchy idea – make it with textures! Of course, there are lots of textured wallpapers and various plastic and wooden panels from various designers, but you can also use natural stone, bricks and wood of any kind that you have. This is a great way to upcycle some old materials and make a very stylish statement in any of your rooms.
Wood Accent Walls
Wood is a very popular material to make statement walls, and the number of options is endless: you may go for a textural weathered and aged wood plank wall, a sleek wooden slab wall in some color, a shiplap wall in a bold shade, a wood slice and even weathered driftwood piece wall to bring much texture to the space. Such walls don’t fit every space, so keep your style and color scheme in mind while planning.
