Posted on: September 15, 2016 by admin

Have you SEEN what's been happening in the world of wallpaper? Swirling metallics, sweeping florals, and unique geometric patterns in colorways meant for the art world. Why not make the perfect one-of-a-kind entrance into your home with stunning accent walls of wallpaper?

1. Go Modern with Retro

Some of the most popular designs in modern style have a retro feel to them. Metallic wallpaper offers you stunning accent walls, like this one in silver, floral bursts. It's a call-out to mid-century modern styling with the whimsy of florals in every direction. Perfect for a bedroom or living space, the pattern lets you relax, while the statement metallic design makes the room feel dynamic.

Designer Tip: Metallic wallpapers work particularly well in rooms with natural light, says interior designer Marco Bianchi. The way they catch and reflect light creates an ever-changing visual interest throughout the day.

Pair it with dark furniture for sophisticated, sleek style. Find this, and many more modern choices in the Alhambra collection.

2. Get Back to Nature

There's no more stunning accent walls than nature scenes themselves, and nature wall murals are the perfect answer. When you want dynamic color with instant personalization, take a look at our selections of wall murals for your home. From the greenery of the rainforest to the silent wonder of a forest of tree trunks, you'll invite a peacefulness into your home with stylish results.

Pro Tip: For small spaces, choose a mural with depth and perspective to make the room feel larger. A misty forest or ocean horizon can create wonderful spatial illusions.

3. Play with Patterns & Prints

Geometric patterns have taken the design world by storm. Walls of over-sized chevron, colorful herringbone and intricate trellis structures create the stunning accent walls you've been searching for. In the book Geometrie, the world of geometric wallpaper has turned–what was once–a boring math class into something incredibly appealing and artistic.

Design Hack: When using bold geometrics, keep other elements in the room simple, advises stylist Jessica Lin. Let the wall be the star by pairing it with solid colors and clean-lined furniture.

A stunning accent wall of colors, patterns and shapes is just the expression your home needs!

4. Create a Library

Your very own library is one of the stunning accent walls you need to complete your office or den. Wall to wall books–it's a reader's dream. Displaying your own books can have a place in the room as well, but this artistic take on walls full of history and brimming with storybook charm? It's the ideal look for someone who loves reading.

Styling Idea: Add real floating shelves with a few actual books and reading lamps to blend the realistic with the artistic for a truly dimensional look.

5. Add Texture

Grasscloth Wallpaper: Nature’s Accent Wall

For spaces craving depth without distraction, grasscloth wallpaper delivers organic elegance. Its woven texture creates visual warmth while maintaining serene sophistication, the perfect balance of character and calm.

Why Designers Choose Grasscloth:

  • Tactile Luxury - Each handcrafted panel brings natural variation
  • Neutral Drama - Subtle sheen catches light differently throughout the day
  • Acoustic Bonus - Softens echoes in open-concept spaces

Designer Insight: Grasscloth is my secret weapon for adding quiet richness, says Elena Petrov. It grounds modern spaces and warms traditional ones always timeless.

In Shangri La, a collection full of grasscloth wallcovering choices, you can browse to find your favorite. Bring a soothing atmosphere in, setting the tone for a gorgeous focal point in your home.

Bonus Idea: Make It Interactive

For children's families or artistic adults, think about making your accent wall an interactive feature. Chalkboard wallpaper makes for a changing surface on a daily basis, and magnetic wallpaper provides a means of showcasing artwork and photos in a constantly changing gallery. These are especially wonderful for playrooms, kitchens, or home offices where form meets function.

Create Your Own Stunning Accent Walls.

Ready to transform a blank wall into a showstopping feature? Whether you're envisioning an entryway statement, bedroom focal point, or bathroom surprise, today's removable wallpapers let you test bold looks risk-free.

Key Considerations:

  • Lighting Matters – Patterns shift from morning to night (always test samples)
  • Scale is Key – Oversized prints energize, subtle textures soothe
  • Commitment-Free Options – Modern peel-and-stick versions allow easy refreshes
