Focusing on one wall is a great way to add depth, color, texture and fun to your room. I’m talking about an accent wall. This easiest way to create this look is with paint. The color choices are unlimited.
Shiplap
Other elements you can use for your accent wall is shiplap. In recent years shiplap has been in demand and still on the rise, due to the popular HGTV’s superstars Joanna and Chip Gaines. When used indoors, shiplap shifts from functional to purely aesthetic. These wood panels add visual character and texture to otherwise blank walls, and can be incorporated to any decorative scheme.
Brick
Another popular material that adds character is brick. This budget-friendly idea adds style without braking the bank. Whitewashed bricks are my favorite, they’re perfect for vintage or shabby chic interiors. If your’e looking for that industrial look, consider rough red brick. It might be exactly that texture and style you’re looking for. Just a little side note, you may want to seal the brick wall to minimize brick dust this will also give your brick a satin sheen that’s washable.
Stone Wall
You can transform any room with a stunning stone accent wall like this. Modern materials allow you to create the look of a traditional stone wall with a fraction of the work. Stone wall gives that rustic, natural and eco-friendly yet sexy appeal. Stone is a great material to work with, giving you a variety of diverse architectural and aesthetic effects.
Wallpaper
This is not your grandmothers wallpaper. Today, its peel and stick, removable, reposition and reuse as often as you want. Give any room the perfect look. You’ll love your walls again.
Whether you chose bold paint, stone, brick, shiplap or wallpaper, the perfect accent wall can lift your mood, relax you, inspire you, or take you to a faraway place.

I love the idea that the new wallpapers don’t need paste and you mentioned that it can be removed and reused? Where would I find wallpaper like that? Thank you.
Hi Tiffany, Im familiar with Wallsneedlove.com its a company that ships to USA free and their products are child-safe ink, fade resistant and their wallpaper’s are reusable. I hope that helps. They have tons of different styles of wallpaper to choose from. Thanks for your comment.
Shiplap! that’s my favorite. I never saw one that’s only in the middle of the wall. It’s unique. Normally Ive seen the whole wall done with shiplap.
Hi J.W. My husband designed and installed that wall. A future post I will be showing how to hide the ugly cable box and wires and I’ll be using that wall as one example. So, I hope you comeback to read all about that. Thanks for your comment.
