An accent wall can be a great design feature in any room. It can drive focus on a particularly special architectural feature, break the monotony in a large room and enhance the ambiance of an otherwise ordinary space. You can also bring a semi-hidden, unpretentious wall to life, which nobody even notices. You can create an accent wall simply by giving it a unique color, or paint a mural on the wall.
You can have an accent wall in any room. The wall directly above the headboard of the bed is a focal surface in bedrooms, and hence is a prime candidate for an accent. Whether you want to further embellish it with photo frames is up to you. Sometimes wall art can be counterproductive on a small accent wall, where the color is meant to be the sole design element.

An accent wall is meant to impart a strategic difference to a surface. Hence, choosing the right wall to accentuate makes all the difference. Since an accent wall immediately draws people to itself, an accent wall furthest from the entrance can be an implicit welcome, making guests comfortable and inspiring them to check it out.

A wall painted in a darker shade in a room painted in light tones can add color and break the monotony. An accent wall can be a DIY project worthy of your time. Take a stencil and a combination of ordinary and high-gloss paint and give your wall a design that actually looks like luxury wallpaper. Not only have you add different colors in the room, you have also given it material design.
