Grid Accent Wall Ideas
A accent wall can bring texture to a room to help with the space while making the room more interesting. The color of the accent wall can be bold and dramatic to make a statement or the accent wall can take on a more subdued feel.
Most rooms start with a light neutral color palate then add a single accent wall with either a bold contrasting color or a complimentary color. There is no wrong way to go about an accent wall as long as there aren’t too many focal points in the room.
Bold Painted Accent Wall
If you don’t want to go through the trouble of adding anything to your walls, you can make a big impact with just paint. This wall room was paint a light shade of gray then a single wall was painted with the color Green Bay by Sherwin Williams for a dramatic pop!
Laundry Room Wallpaper
A small laundry room is the perfect area to go out of your comfort zone with the design. Adding a bold patterned wall paper can make a huge impact in a tight space.
Accent Wall Shelving
This room has poor lighting because there aren’t any window, so I had to find a way to define the space.
I was going to add built in cabinets to the back wall, but then I backed out of that idea after pricing it out.
It wasn’t that expensive, but it wasn’t what I was looking to spend and my kids would just hide in the cabinets anyway.
So, I came up with a cheaper idea to organize and define this space.
I sanded and stained these wood shelves and added totes and baskets for toy storage.
Then I added a large photo and hung plug in wall sconces on either side to help brighten up the space.
I also found matching chair covers for my kids little chairs. If you have toddler boys then you might want to look into these washable chair covers!
Textured Headboard as Accent Wall
My master bedroom is a neutral color which I loved, so I wanted to play off the neutral tones and keep the room calm. I built this DIY headboard for around $40. The first time I built this headboard it was upholstered with navy fabric.
Rustic Accent Wall
A wood accent wall looks great anywhere in your home, especially when it is layered with a large mirror or greenery. Layering a mirror over a warm rustic accent wall gives this bright white bathroom a cozy feel.
Wood shelving and greenery bright up this all neutral entryway. Even a neutral color palate can use a subtle accent wall to add more visual interest.
Conclusion
The best part about an accent wall is that it can be as bold or as simple as you want it to be. It is only one wall, so don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone and add something fun to a room.
