And most of the designs can be done yourself with just somepaint, time, and a little creativity.
The first step is always planning.
Do you want to incorporate stone or tile?
Add shelving or architectural features that would provide some visual interest to the wall?
Don’t shy away from creative thinking at this stage, (viaThe Spruce).
Sketch out your design so you have an idea where you’re going.
And determine what materials you’re going to need.
Are you going to add wood elements?
Be sure you have access to a miter saw so you could cut the angles corners you’ll need.
Design around the rest of the room
Consider the other colors you’re designing around.
What color palette already exists in the other walls, furnishings, and decorations in the room?
Will you be changing those?
Consider usinga color wheelto find colors for your accent wall that will be complimentary and also make a statement.
Decide if you’re going to use paint or wallpaper on the wall.
