3 ways to create a feature wall

A feature wall is the perfect way to brighten up a room without a complete overhaul. 

Creating a feature wall will create an instant impact. It can be an easy way to change the look of your room with something to reflect your personality. We have selected three ideas for you to consider.

1. Display photos or mirrors.

Are you lacking shelf space to display your latest snaps? Or do you have some small pieces of framed artwork? If so, why not display them all in an organised fashion on the wall. In either a straight line or next to and on top of each other. Use the same style of frame style for a uniform look or you are feeling even more daring why not select different styles of small mirrors and display these on the wall instead. Whatever you decide to choose it is important to make sure that you spend time accurately measuring out where each one should go. Even if you are going for a hap hazard style, it needs to be spot on to look neat.

2. Pick up a paintbrush.

Pick a bold colour and create a contrasting wall than the rest of the room with a different shade. Or if you are feeling more daring pick a wallpaper but remember that that the wallpaper has to have one colour in it that is the same as the other painted walls to make sure it fits. Or simply paint the wall in blackboard paint and let your children loose on it!

3. Get arty with some wall graphics.

Place a graphic of any design on the wall. There are hundreds of designs to choose from to suit all tastes. A map of the world or an underwater scene appropriate for a child’s bedroom. Some wall stickers are even reusable meaning you can take your feature wall with you when you move.
