Transform Your Space – Wallpaper Feature Wall

Lets talk about how to transform a space with a wallpaper feature wall installation.

It is easy and cost effective. And you do not need extensive renovations and you can easily update a wallpaper feature wall. A feature wall is a very popular choice amongst our clients, because it has many advantages.

A feature wall, also known as an accent wall, is a wall in a room that is wallpapered to create a focal point. Using wallpaper for a feature wall can add texture, colour, and pattern, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the space.

Here are some key aspects of a feature wall with wallpaper:

Design Choice

The wallpaper used can range from bold patterns to subtle textures, allowing you to convey your personal style or create a specific mood in the room. Also you can have more than one feature wall in the room, for example two opposite walls. You can choose to go for a wallpaper mural, therefore making your wall unique and eye-catching.

Neutral coloured wallpaper with a delicate pattern can make a huge difference in an otherwise simple room making the wall inviting and visually appealing. Consider the style (modern or traditional) of your furniture and accessories.

Where to Place Wallpaper Feature Wall in a Room?

Feature can be positioned on any wall, like behind a bed or a sofa, chimney breasts or in a designated area that you want to highlight. You can choose to have wallpaper feature wall in any room, including in a hallway or even a bathroom.

Tip: Wallpapers installed in kitchens and bathrooms have to be designed to withstand high humidity environments. When planning feature wall wallpaper installation for high traffic areas, such as hallways, make sure your wallpaper is durable.

How to Choose the Best Wall for Wallpaper Feature Wall?

1. Focal point wall: Choose the wall that naturally draws the eye when entering the room. Often this is the wall facing the entrance.

2. Architectural features: A wall with a fireplace or built-in shelving can be enhanced with wallpaper or walls with interesting architectural elements.

3. Bedroom: The wall behind the headboard is a popular choice, creating a backdrop for the bed. Living room: The wall where the TV or main seating faces is often a good choice.

Balance

It’s important to ensure that the feature wall complements the overall colour scheme and décor of the room, in order of it to enhance the space rather than overwhelm it. To match your colours you can use wallpaper samples. With samples you can see how natural and artificial light will interact with the wallpaper.

Remember, there’s no strict rule – the best choice often depends on your personal preference and the specific characteristics of your space. It’s about creating balance and enhancing the room’s overall aesthetic.

Textural Contrast

Wallpapers with different textures can provide a sense of depth and interest. They don’t have to be bold and bright to make a statement. 

Creating a feature wall with wallpaper can be an effective and creative way to transform a space without the need for extensive renovations.

Tip: If you decide to update your wallpaper feature wall, this can be done easily. Having wallpaper professionally installed means that wallpaper removal in the future will not cause any damage to your wall, leaving it ready for a new wallpaper or any other design that you might have in mind.
