Using interior painting, wallpaper, and other materials to create a striking statement wall will add a new dimension to your design scheme. However, introducing such a bold element has its challenges, so here are some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind.

Do:

Choose the wall wisely.

Your statement wall should be where the focal point of the room occurs naturally. For example, the wall behind a mantlepiece in the living room or the headboard in a bedroom are good choices. Creating a statement wall out of one that isn’t the focal point confuses the eye and makes a room seem less organized.

Experiment with interior painting.

You don’t have to paint the entire wall one solid, bright color, though that is an option. Feel free to experiment with patterns or designs since there’s no limit to what can be done with paint. If you decide you don’t like the pattern in the future, you can have an interior painting contractor apply a new coat over it.

Don’t:

Choose a crowded room.

If a room is already crowded with furniture or artwork on the walls, don’t put your statement wall in that space. An overcrowded area won’t let the wall stand out as it should.

Limit your choices.

You can make an accent wall out of almost anything—wallpaper, tile, stone, or even wood. Don’t think you only have a few options. Take a look at your space and find complementing colors and textures to make your statement wall truly shine. For example, if you have a rustic living room aesthetic, wood panels on the accent wall will bring the look together.
