If you’ve ever wondered how to quickly transform a bland room into a bold statement, make the most of your accent walls. There are some interesting, note-worthy ways to do so that go far beyond using just wall art. Below are some unique accent wall design ideas to give a try for your next interior design project.
Charming Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a wonderful product to use to accentuate a wall. Wallpaper designs are vast and with careful digging, you can almost always find a wallpaper that aligns with the theme or feeling you are trying to evoke in a room.
While your initial reaction when it comes to an accent wall might be to go bold and make a statement, sometimes sticking with a minimal look for wallpaper is all you need to elevate the room without being too drastic or daring.
From bathrooms to bedrooms, wallpaper is an opportunity you don’t want to miss out on when it comes to accent wall design.

Custom Murals
What better way to achieve the vision you have in mind for an accent wall than by going fully custom?
Custom murals are not only a way to transform your room, but they can turn your wall into a true art form. Additionally, if you’re not able to find a wallpaper that satisfies your liking, getting a custom mural on your wall is an exciting option to try.
The possibilities of custom murals are endless. Whatever theme or style you’d like to bring to the room can be achieved through a mural.
When going with this option, think about the colours, patterns, and abstract designs that you want to include to peak visual interest. Take a look at some of the examples below for some inspiration of how a custom mural can demand the attention of an entire space.
If you go with a custom mural on an accent wall, try pairing it with other elements, for example, choosing bedding that matches the theme of your mural.

Textured Wall
Here at Pure Design, we love texture, even applied to walls. Adding texture to a wall is another creative way to add a bit more depth and dimension. It also allows for more opportunity to incorporate a unique play on the texture in a rather simple room.
When it comes to textured walls, the materials you can use range from wood, cement, and paneling to stone, tile, brick and so much more. You can even use textured paint to achieve the dramatic effect you want. Paneling often gives you that one-of-a-kind 3D effect which can always be accentuated further with your choice of colour.

Bold Colours
The age-old trick of adding a pop of colour to a room applies beautiful to accent wall design, and for great reason.
While such a simple design move, a pop of colour on your accent wall gives you more creative freedom to bring out the space especially when used as a focal point. For instance, in the example below, the accent carpet with hints of blue and the pops of gold in the lighting pair beautifully with the accent wall colour in the back.
Sure the colour of the wall demands attention of the space alone, but you can really make additional distinct design moves by using the accent wall colour as your main source of inspiration.

Wall Decals
Wall decals come in handy for many different reasons. If you want to add interest to a room without having to commit to using wallpaper or adding a fully custom mural, wall decals make it a lot easier to do so.
They particularly come in handy when decorating for little ones. Over time interests change, however wall decals can be the very addition your room needs to align with your theme temporarily. It’s a fun and modern touch to an accent wall and there are endless options out to find the ones that suit your taste.
