Creating a loving space is all we want in our homes. We also want a place that exemplifies our personality. Selecting the right décor for each room always allows our creativity to flow. It shows the world what our bodies, minds, and souls look like in the material world. Therefore, it’s not surprising we like to have a section of a dining room stand out.
Accent walls have been popular for decades. But with accessibility to the internet and stores like Home Depot, it’s simple to turn a dining room into a luxurious space. So, if you want to transform a room from simple to chic, we have some easy ideas for you to try.
1. Select a Wall
When choosing the right wall for accenting you want to pick one that will be seen as you enter the space. An example of this would be using the wall behind the head of the table in a dining room. It’ll give the wow factor each time you walk into the room. But you don’t have to select the wall facing the doorway.
Select whichever wall you feel drawn to decorate. Sometimes accenting a wall that’s in the corner works if you want to make it feel cozy. A Zen room meant for meditation and yoga might do well with an accent wall in the corner. It can be decorated to allow for a calm spot for contemplation, breathwork, or reading.
2. Paint It
One quick and simple way to accent a wall is to paint it. Paint comes in a variety of shades and colors. Plus, you can have fun with it. You don’t have to use the same color for the entire wall. You can make a design or a mural if you’re feeling fancy.
Painting is a relaxing activity that allows for creative expression. It also allows you to trigger an emotional response. Red tends to command attention. Yet, blue can be soothing.
3. Wall Paper It
Wallpaper is a timeless way to add a little spark of life to a dull wall. Selecting the proper pattern for your wall is easy. Consider the theme of your dining room. Most wallpaper patterns can pull together a space if the colors and design complement the room. You don’t want wallpaper with a busy pattern in a smaller dining room. It can make the room feel uneasy. Brighter patterns and color palettes can help a room appear larger.
4. Light it up
Incorporating light fixtures to help accent a wall is an elegant way to brighten a room. You can add sconces to decorate the space and bring attention to the other items on the wall. But you could also anchor a hanging light fixture. Hanging light fixtures add depth to the space by providing warmth.
5. Less Is More
When deciding how to accent an area, it’s best to keep it simple. Trying to put too much on an accent wall can make it look cluttered. You don’t need to put up everything on your Pinterest board. Sometimes simple framed pictures, with a painted wall and sconces, can make a room look grand.
