Accent walls give your space a fresh, new look. They offer a simple, stylish way to add color to a room and experiment with smaller doses of brighter, bolder hues. Whether you’d like to define a living space or spotlight a treasured piece of artwork or architectural feature, an accent wall can create a striking, unique design element. Accent walls can also help you create color flow. By using the same color in fabrics, finishes, accessories, and furnishings in adjoining rooms, you can create a seamless transition from space to space.

Today’s roundup is dedicated to wallpaper accent walls, and that’s not surprising because it’s a hot trend in décor. There’s no need to wallpaper an entire room the way people did years ago. Instead, choose a bright and bold pattern and use it on just one accent wall.

Wallpaper Accent Walls To Make A Statement

An accent wall can set up a mood, and the best accent wall is the wall that stands out in the room. It’s the wall you are drawn to when you enter the space. If you are unable to determine which wall stands out in your room, ask a friend or family member to walk into the room and let you know which wall seems to draw their attention. The wall they choose will be your accent wall.

Be careful to avoid obscuring your accent wall with a large object, such as ceiling-to-floor drapes, windows, or an enormous wardrobe. If the wall is covered, then you will lose its dramatic impact. Finally, make sure not to leave an accent wall too bare, or you’ll have too much of a “pop” and the room will feel unbalanced. cute floral wallpaper for a girl's bedroom
