How to create feature walls using wall panelling?
Traditionally, wooden wall panels were used on the walls to act as an insulation between the cold stone walls of the room and the interiors. Today, wall panels are used to create feature walls to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a room. Along with adding to the beauty of the room, laminate wall panels also help in hiding unsightly electrical cables, and other wall damages. It also helps in providing structural support to walls.
#1: Start by deciding the Colour Theme
Once you decide to add a feature wall to your home, the first choice you’ll have to make is deciding the colour. The colour palette you choose will make the wall stand out or blend in with the surroundings.
Design Tip: Ideally, you should choose wall panels in two main colours and a slight hint of a third colour. By making the first two colours neutral and the third colour bold and bright, you can add flair to the space.
#2: Let your Eyes Help You
Now, that you’ve finalised the colour tones for the accent walls, the next step is to decide which wall should you convert into the feature wall. When you enter the room, where does your eye go naturally? Is it drawn to the wall behind the TV or the bed? The place where your eyes are drawn naturally is where you should position the accent wall.
#3: Use Patterns to Tie it all Together
A striking floral or geometric patterned accent wall can add a contemporary vibe to a neutral room. On the other hand, wood-textured accent walls add warmth and rusticity to the room, giving it a homely feel. So, don’t shy away from patterns. Experiment different styles till you get the right one.
