Feature Walls: A Must-Have

Transform Your Space with Feature Walls: Why They're a Must-Have in Your Home!

Feature walls, also known as accent walls, have become increasingly popular in interior design over the years. These eye-catching design elements not only add personality to your space but also serve as focal points that can transform the entire ambiance of a room. In this blog post, we'll explore why people should consider getting feature walls installed in their homes and delve into different types, such as shiplap, wainscoting, and more, to help you make the right choice for your interior design needs.

1. Creating Visual Interest: One of the primary reasons to invest in feature walls is to add visual interest to your home. These walls break up the monotony of a single-colored room and draw the eye, making the space more dynamic. Whether it's unique materials like reclaimed wood or something more traditional like shiplap or wainscoting, a feature wall can be an artful addition to your home.

2. Defining Spaces: Feature walls can be strategically placed to define different areas within an open-concept living space. By using distinct materials or colors, you can create a sense of separation without building physical walls. This is particularly useful in studio apartments or homes with large living areas.

3. Highlighting Architectural Details: If your home has architectural details like columns or alcoves a feature wall or floating shelves can be the perfect backdrop to showcase these elements. Seen below is our floating shelves added to an arched alcove and partial wood slat wall feature. It draws attention to the unique features of your home and adds depth to the design.

4. Adding Texture and Depth: Different types of feature walls offer a range of textures and depths. For example: a. Shiplap: Achieve a rustic, coastal, or farmhouse look with horizontal or vertical wooden planks that add warmth and character to your space. Seen below

b. Wainscoting: Elegant and timeless, wainscoting consists of wooden pieces that cover the lower part of the wall, adding sophistication and dimension. We love to make unique wainscoting designs too as seen below!

c. Traditional Moulding: This is another elegant and more formal option to dress up a room. Created by making boxes on the walls with thin moulding strips. Seen below.

d. Slat Walls: Create an industrial, rustic, and very trendy atmosphere with exposed wood slats bringing a natural element into your interior. See slat wall below.

5. Expressing Your Style: Feature walls are a fantastic way to showcase your personal style and design preferences. Whether you prefer a minimalist, bohemian, modern, or traditional look, there's a feature wall option that can align with your aesthetic.

6. Easy to Update: Unlike making permanent changes to your entire room, feature walls offer a relatively easy and cost-effective way to update your space. If you ever want to change the look or refresh your interior, you can simply modify or replace the feature wall. And we can install them for you in no time!

Incorporating feature walls into your home can have a profound impact on its overall aesthetics and functionality. From creating visual interest to defining spaces, highlighting architectural details, and expressing your unique style, feature walls are versatile design elements that can breathe new life into any room. So, whether you opt for shiplap, wainscoting, wallpaper, or another style, consider adding a feature wall to your home and experience the transformation firsthand!
