There are many ways to create an accent in the interior. And one of the simplest and most relevant is an accent wall.

There are many design options, some of which, for example, a porcelain stoneware or stone wall, are best left to designers.

But some recommendations from experts allow you to create an accent yourself.

Recommendation one: color

The simplest and most concise way is to paint one wall in a contrasting color.

It looks impressive and is relatively easy to do. You can also use contrasting monotone wallpaper. But there is one nuance: the color of the wall should fit into the overall concept of the interior. Here, observation and study of the topic of color combinations will help.

Recommendation two: shelves

Shelves are not only beautiful, but also practical. They can be a decoration in themselves, if you look for unusual designer models or order them from a master.

You can also place other decorative elements on them, such as a vase of flowers, indoor plants, books, figurines, etc. But you can’t overdo it here, as too many items will create a cluttered effect.

Recommendation three: photo wallpaper

If you don’t like the option of an accent wall painted in one color, you can use photo wallpaper. Many people associate them with images of a birch grove, the Eiffel Tower, and other outdated pictures. But modern printing offers stylish solutions with abstract or black-and-white patterns.

You can also find a good quality image you like on the Internet and print it. Many companies that make photo wallpapers not only make them in the size the customer needs, but also use their photos for printing.

Recommendation number four: laminate

If you are not averse to experiments, you can try the option that some designers use. They use materials intended for flooring or outdoor decoration to decorate the wall. And if you are unlikely to be able to make a stone wall yourself, then using laminate as an accent is a feasible task for independent implementation.

You can also create an accent wall using mirrors, large handmade decorations (for example, macrame, dreamcatcher), paintings, collages and photographs.
