Your living room is one of the most heavily trafficked rooms in your house, so it’s only natural that you would put some thought into how it looks and feels. No matter what style you have chosen in your living room, an accent wall will enhance the balance and unity of your room. Not only does an accent wall add depth and create a focal point for a living room, but it is also a budget-friendly way to makeover a living room and give it a finished look.
The following top 10 living room accent walls will inspire your next project.
1. Establish a focal point
The addition of an accent wall is a great way to break up space, particularly in a living room with high ceilings. Champagne. Chaos offers a wooden wall accent that could serve as a fireplace or mantle if you don't have a traditional fireplace or mantle. Not only does it help frame the TV, but it also adds a lot of visual interest and creates a focal point in the room.
2. Consider a mural
There is nothing happier than this sweet sunny mural from the note of charm. A geometric mural like this one serves a purpose for filling that awkward space behind the couch. Opt for something simple or hire a professional for more elaborate work, and you won't even need to think about framing.
3. The Hunter Green Wall
We love hunter-green colors in living rooms especially, but this color can overpower large spaces, so they work great as accents on walls. This shiplap hunter green feature from Three Birds Renovations is ideal for large spaces that need a splash of color.
4. Think about a Geometric Accent Wall
This striking geometric look gives any contemporary home a distinct, unique look. We love this idea for contemporary homes because of its added texture and modern look. Though this is a DIY project, it is really a little more difficult than some of the other accent wall ideas on our list.
5. Accent Walls are great to play with.
Bee Tree design co offers this unique and fun accent wall idea. It has two great accent walls, a fun tic-tac-toe game, and a statement blue wall. We love the idea of creating an interactive game as an accent wall as long as it's simple and subtle.
6. Texture can be added.
This idea from Mai Happy Home incorporates both color and texture into your space. If you would like to elevate your accent wall to the next level, consider adding a bit of texture yourself. A few strips of wood and glue can take your décor from "nice" to "wow."
7. Separate a segment of a space
An open concept home is increasingly popular, which is why we love accent walls like this one from Visualvantage. The right accent wall can separate a room and provide a distinct living space. We love the natural wood look as an alternative to a painted accent wall.
8. The Best Way to Complement Your Decor
One way to avoid the appearance of an accent wall looking out of place is to incorporate complementary colors throughout the entire space. This lovely living space from win and design features a light orange wall that plays off similar colored accents throughout the space.
9. Use Shiplap to decorate
When you want an accent wall to add some texture to your space but don't want to lose the minimalist look and feel, opt for a white shiplap wall like this one from the sumpter house. This white wall will break up a large space without being overpowering.
10. Build in built-ins to your accent wall
Build your accent wall around built-in bookcases like this one from my humble homestead. Built-in bookcases are a solid and beautiful addition to any room, but painting them a bold color opposite the rest of the space gives it one more hint of style.
