7 DIY Accent Wall Ideas for Your Home
How are you all doing a couple of weeks into home quarantine? In case you are running out of things to do, why not spruce up your space — whether it’s your living room, bedroom, home office, or bathroom — with an accent wall? An accent wall is a wall with a design that stands out from the design of the other walls in the room. Here are some DIY ideas you can work on:
1. Bright and Bold Accent Wall
Choosing a bright and bold color is perhaps the easiest way to make a statement in a small space. Paint one wall an energizing color (bright red, orange, or yellow), then use a bold contrast for decor.
2. Bold Black Feature Wall
Don’t be afraid of using black. Black can bring modern edgy vibes to your space. They work well in small spaces too, just like this minimalist bathroom. The black wall behind the toilet takes the eye to the back of the room and makes the room look bigger.
