Here’s why your home needs a feature wall
A feature wall turns one of the larger walls in any room into a focal point.
What makes these great additions to your home?
- It makes a room more welcoming.
- It makes small spaces more interesting, and can even make them feel bigger.
- It can help organize open areas into more distinct purpose-oriented spaces.
What makes them challenging to get right?
- The wrong colour, texture, pattern or material can easily become dated quickly.
- Poor choice of any of the above pieces can clash with other elements in the room.
- If the space is already crowded with furniture or other pieces, an accent can be too loud.
