Are Accent Walls Still in Style?

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

There was a minute where accent walls were just about everywhere. Everybody was throwing up feature walls - some of you might've been thinking, man, I really need to get me an accent wall...

But you might also be wondering, are they still in style? How do I even choose where to put one? Like does every room just get it's own special wall?

This week, I'm answering all those questions and more in my newest post, How to Choose Accent Walls.

Accent Wall Tips

For the record, I'll say that yes, they're still "in style." Kind of 😉

As a strategic design element - yes go for it!

But let's hold off on creating accent walls just for the sake of it.

Tip #1

Ok, now that we've got that out of the way, I'll share my number one tip for choosing an accent wall:

Look for a wall with natural end points. This might be an interior corner (as opposed to an outer edge corner) or some sort of trim. This will make it feel intentional and keeps you from trying to work magic paint lines.

This also means you might go for a whole corner (like above) as opposed to one specific wall.

Ok, if an accent wall is something you've been thinking about - I hope this helps!

Life has been coming at me hard and I'm using allll my strategies to deal. In addition to the usual, like therapy sessions, journaling, and my pitiful attempts at deep breathing - I also organize the hell out of my space. Tidy space, tidy mind - right?

Home Styling with Allisa tips & projects for an authentic home Hello Reader, In the last couple months, I'd had a whole host of contractors here. From kitchen cabinets to crawl spaces, there is work to do. And, I will be the first to admit, getting bids can be absolutely overwhelming. Whether it's just the sheer amount of time involved or staring at numbers you had no idea could be so big. (Um, excuse me sir, I think you added an extra zero there....) Well, after having worked on several...
