Add Depth and Interest with a Feature Wall

2011-08-21T07:26:11Z

Have you been endlessly trying to figure out how you can add depth and visual interest to your room? We suggest that you add a feature wall. The addition of a feature wall is an easy way to accent a room by designating the focal point. The wall that you choose should be one that already holds the focus in the room such as the one your headboard is against, or some other major piece of furniture.

Once you’ve decided which wall you will use it’s time to decide how you will decorate it. There are various ways to decorate your feature wall depending on the design of the room and your personality. You can paint it a completely different color, incorporate stripes, cover it with a textured or printed wallpaper, or adorn it with photos. Take a look at these rooms that feature feature walls…

Royal Wedding Inspired Wallcovering

2011-05-06T04:16:22Z

Ever since news broke that Prince William proposed to his long time girl friend Kate Middleton news of the royal wedding has literally been everywhere. The design world has even drawn inspiration from the upcoming nuptials in quite interesting manners. We recently came across wallcovering that takes a nod from the April 29th celebration.

UK-based design company Graham & Brown created “Crowns and Coronets” as a direct celebration of the wedding. The white wallcovering features black crowns and coronets that can be enhanced with self-adhesive decorative jewels. The jewels are available in various sizes and colors that allow for a truly custom design.
