Your bedroom is your safe space, the place you go to relax and unwind after a long day. It's the room where you can get comfortable with a good book or watch your favorite TV show. Spending so much time there, you might be ready to switch it up by updating your neutral walls with an accent wall.
Let's look at a few DIY accent walls and see which one might work to warm up your bedroom.
Add Trim
If you're looking for something more subtle, picture frame molding or vertical line trim adds dimension without overdoing it. You can create this design by cutting and nailing wood trim pieces to the walls, but there's also easier peel-and-stick molding. This is an excellent option for rental properties because it's easy to apply and remove.
Install Built-ins
Adding some built-ins around your bed frame is a great way to maximize the space in your bedroom and add some storage space. You can keep the shelves open and add books and pictures or add some baskets and bins to store clothes, shoes, and more.
Show Off Your Personality
If you have a particular pattern or color you like, there's no one stopping you from making it an accent wall. If you have a passion for painting and art, show off your creative side with a hand-painted floral mural or patterned wall to brighten up the room.
Two-Tone Wall
Experiment with different colors by creating a two-tone effect. Earth tones are great for this because they're very calming and can add warmth to the room. This type of wall can also create a fake board and batten effect that can make the ceilings look taller, and the room appear bigger.
As you can see, there are many DIY accent wall options out there that don't have to cost a lot of money. If you need help or recommendations on accent walls, reach out to me! I'm always happy to help.
