Does the idea of bright paint all over your house scare you to your very core? Does patterned wallpaper make you feel claustrophobic at the mere mention of it? It’s time to change all that. Accent walls can actually really change the vibe in your home, and it will definitely be for the better. You don’t have to deck out all four walls of a room in something bright or wild, you just need a single wall. It sounds like it would throw your symmetry off balance, but it actually looks super chic when done right. After you see these, you’ll want one in every single room of your house.

1

Stripe It Up

This Manhattan guest room, designed by Amanda Darnell, used a dynamic Kelly Wearstler for Lee Jofa wallpaper to unify outsider artwork.

2

Inlay It Up

An inlaid wall is maybe our favorite use for tile yet. Bonus points: It can creatively camoflauge your TV.

3

Go Super Bold

Can you pull off a bright turquoise wall? Totally—just don’t cover your entire house with it and you’re good.

4

Add Wood

If you want to really make a statement, skip the mounted headboard in your bedroom and use your wall instead. This DIY wood statement wall can take your room from basic to farmhouse in an instant.

Get the tutorial at Sugar & Cloth.

Don’t Be Scared Of Black

6

Keep It Subtle

A large wall like this one can dominate a room if you go too bold or too dark, so stick to a neutral color in a subtle pattern. That way, you can afford to get a little more adventurous with your furniture and decor.

7

Jungle-Inspired

This palm-print wallpaper is bold, to say the least, but limiting it to an accent wall keeps the room feeling light, rather than making it feel a little claustrophobic.

8

Create An Ombré Effect

Single color walls? Please. Try an ombre effect on your wall, then pick up the hues in your bedding.

9

Go Glam

Pale pink wallpaper combined with geometric, glittering lighting glams up this small dining nook. Keeping the pink to a single wall feels more sophisticated (and less babyish).

Update Your Entryway

A bright hue is the easiest way to make a statement in a small space. Paint one wall an energizing color, then add contrast with decor, like these pink ottomans.

Use Paneling

If color is not your jam, don’t stress, you can still try out an accent wall. Use wood paneling on one wall to create dimension.

At Bellmore’s AR Workshop, create to your heart’s content – liherald

Image
In the open space of AR Workshop in Bellmore, the warm scent of sawdust wafts through the air. The sound of fresh paint being brushed onto wood panels is muffled by conversation at one of six workstations, where empty paint buckets are repurposed for organizational use — holding sandpaper, pencils, scissors and other craft supplies. Here people meet and mingle while creating a personal piece of art. That is exactly what owner Julie Alveari, of Bellmore, envisioned would happen when she opened the studio in June. She discovered the boutique workshop chain while researching possible activities for a girls’ night out. After visiting the Port Washington location, Alveari fell in love with the concept. “You’re not just picking a product off a shelf and painting it,” she said. “You’re actually creating a piece of art from raw materials all the way to the finish.” With more than 100 franchises across the country, and three on Long Island, AR Workshop offers patrons hands-on sessions in w...
