The Next Big Thing in Bedroom is an Accent Wall

If you wake up in a boring bedroom, it might be time for a change. Decluttering and new bedding can only go so far. What's next? Create an accent wall. An accent wall is typically a different color or texture than other walls in the room. Besides giving your bedroom a big dose of design, an accent wall can fool the eye into making the room appear smaller or larger.

Think of your walls as blank canvases—the decorating possibilities are endless. Those white, empty walls are just calling out for something more. But limitless opportunities can be daunting—and that's where accent walls come in. To start, you have to ask yourself what you're drawn to. Is it warm paint colors? Or if you can't handle anything other than your soothing taupe, how do you feel about adding a salvaged wood wall? Or, consider framing up some of your collectibles and utilizing some creative gallery wall ideas. 

The beauty of focusing your creativity on an accent wall is that it saves time and money. Many wallpapers can cost an arm and a leg, but papering a single wall gives you all the glory on a budget you're comfortable with. You could even opt for removable wallpaper for a fix that you can change up when you get bored. Wallpapering a single wall also takes a lot less effort than papering four—and painting one wall? Why, you can practically get that done on your lunch break!
