If you\u2019re looking for feature wall ideas, look no further \u2013 we\u2019ve got 10 ways to make a style statement in your home, from paint effects and panelling to murals and brick slips. But first, let\u2019s take a look at what feature walls are, and how best to use them.<\/p>\n

What is the point of a feature wall?<\/h2>\n

A feature wall is a great way to liven up any room, whether you choose to paint it in a punchy colour, or use pattern<\/a> or texture to inject extra interest. With feature walls<\/a> you can really experiment and let your creativity run wild, without the stress of having to redecorate the whole room. It\u2019s a cost-effective upgrade when your room starts looking tired and works particularly well in larger rooms or those than benefit from zoned spaces.<\/p>\n

Are feature walls outdated?<\/h2>\n

Far from the outdated concept of using a bold paint colour or wallpaper on the chimney breast just for the sake of it, feature walls now take many forms and can really add impact to a room. Be sure to choose the room\u2019s existing focal point when making your feature wall \u2013\u00a0randomly picking a wall to highlight will no doubt end up making your room look old-fashioned.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between an accent wall and a feature wall?<\/h2>\n

A feature wall might be termed an accent wall if it is used specifically to accentuate the space, for example, defining a zoned area in an open-plan living space. Essentially, feature walls and accent walls are the same thing \u2013\u00a0a way to draw attention and create interest in your room.<\/p>\n

What does a feature wall do to a room?<\/h2>\n

A feature wall draws your eye to a certain spot and, when done well, will complement the other parts of the room rather than detracting from them. If you have a collection of paintings or pottery in your home, but perhaps they\u2019re not making an impact in the way you\u2019d like, try painting a rich colour on the wall behind them to help them stand out.<\/p>\n

Create texture with a terracotta plaster-effect feature wall. Apply a base layer of Scandinavian Pink Chalk Paint<\/a> to the entire wall. Once dry, add sections of diluted Paloma<\/a> over the top, painting the mix on in small sections. While still wet, use crumpled-up newspaper to create texture. Allow to dry and give a final wash of Paloma all over, for a powdery plaster effect.<\/p>\n
