Feature Wall Ideas for Any Home Aesthetic

You’ve definitely heard home design experts and HGTV gurus talk about a feature wall! This home decor buzzword is a trend we expect to see stick around, offering an amazing way to make a statement in any room. 

Creating a “feature wall” refers to giving one wall a different color or finish as a way to draw the eye. Wondering why this trend is here to stay or how to create it in your own home? We’re sharing our favorite tips to replicate this design feature in any space and for any home aesthetic!

What makes a feature wall?

The feature wall is one of the hottest home design trends out there. We’re seeing a rise in this trend as homeowners and designers become more experimental in their decor choices, offering a look for any personality with a variety of colors, finishes and textures. Not only will a feature wall add interest to a room, but it acts as a functional design element that gives your space a unique finish!

Why add a feature wall?

Highlighting one wall in a room is a great way to spice up your space! By breaking up the predictability of a single color or texture, an accent wall offers something fresh—a standout element that adds definition and style.

Aesthetic benefits 

A statement wall also offers subtle transformative benefits. Depending on the finish or shade you choose, it can create the illusion of a larger room. For instance, accenting one wall in a lighter color can bring a chic twist to a smaller space. Another option is to add a patterned wall in a small living area to add drama and personality. It offers more room to play with color, texture, and pattern than only relying on furniture to decorate a room that may already feel small.

Functional benefits 

An accent wall can help define space in an open-concept home for a specific purpose or use. One of the most common examples is to have a feature wall that designates the living area. By placing the couch beside the feature wall— either focusing on the fireplace, television or any special spot— it helps elevate the room as a whole.

Use matching decorative items such as candle holders or accent pieces to compliment the feature wall. Including elements that echo the color or texture of the feature wall will create unity, boosting the impact of the design.
