What Is A Feature Wall?
Introduction to Feature / Statement Walls
Feature walls are basically a wall (or several) that becomes a feature to your room. They are also called accent walls and can offer very effective quick and easy ways to update your living space to create your dream interior. We like to think of it more though as a focal point, everywhere in the room flows beautifully together and the walls are part of your interior design rather than just being plain old walls.

Not Just Paint
When you think feature wall designs, the most obvious thing that comes to mind is painting a wall a different colour. Maybe adding a bit of wallpaper. Whilst this is perfectly fine and can look very effective at a minimal cost, you are missing out on the opportunity to add texture, warmth, interest, even acoustic properties to your wall. What if we told you, you have 1000s of choices at your fingertips not restricting your creativity to just a change of colour or wallpaper. There is a variety of different materials in 2D or 3D in a variety of colours and styles available from us!

A feature wall isn't about a wall being isolated from a room however. Take that creativity and don't just limit it to one wall. Mad About The House (Kate Watson-Smyth) explains it best;
“If you want a feature wall it’s not just about picking out a wall. It’s about decorating the whole room around that feature to draw it into the scheme rather than have it hanging awkwardly on the edge like the unwanted guest at a party.”

Don’t be Afraid of Wall Designs
Many wall panels can be applied with minimal tooling and can be applied simply with a high grab adhesive or an adhesive we recommend (none required for the peel & stick range). You simply prepare your wall and follow the instructions, and if in doubt contact a trusted joiner.
