Light Blue Accent Wall Corporate Decor
Does the idea of bright paint all over your house scare you to your very core? Does wild wallpaper make you feel claustrophobic at the mere mention of it? It's time to change all that with the humble accent wall. Which is to say, you can experiment with color, material, and pattern on your walls without fully committing to changing the foundations of the room. Accent walls can actually really change the whole feel of a home, and it will definitely be for the better. It sounds like it would throw your symmetry off balance, but it actually just adds a touch of dimension, intrigue, and style. After you see these, you'll want one in every single room of your house.
1 Stripe It Up
This Manhattan guest room, designed by Amanda Darnell, uses a dynamic Kelly Wearstler wallpaper for Lee Jofa to unify its colorful artwork.
2 Black Box
Interior designer Heidi Cailler gave this media room the black box theater effect without totally overwhelming the space by designating the deep marine paint the TV wall.
3 Just a Splash
Natural stone is easily one of the most expensive surface materials money can buy. To cut cost but still spotlight a beautiful stone, just stick with one accent wall. In this kitchen designed by Tamsin Johnson, all eyes are on the smokey purple swirls of the wall ahead.
4 Hidden Door
"'Moments' rather than looks best encapsulate a home's positive impact, and the ultimate moment experienced in Magnolia House is the slow and elegant descent down its new sculptural staircase, the metaphorical spine of both the home and the project," say designers Arent & Pyke. The jib door here is continuous with the baby-blue painted paneling as to not interrupt visual flow while also providing extra storage.
5 Bright and Bold
A bright hue is the easiest way to make a statement in a small space. Paint one wall an energizing color, then add contrast with decor, like these blush pink chairs in a dining room designed by 2G Studio.
6 Just the Trim
When you don't want to paint an entire wall, just paint the trims, moldings, or casings for a splash of color that breaks up the space. Here, GRT Architects opted for a soft lavender shade to soften the more saturated tones and to make the fluted interior glass pop even more.
7 Floral Punch
If you don't have a massive mudroom, don't worry: Heidi Caillier designed a small makeshift mudroom in a little nook by the back entrance and elevated it with custom millwork, fresh throw pillows, and a charming wallpaper backdrop.
8 Mirror, Mirror
In this hallway designed by Tamsin Johnson, a glam mirrored accent wall makes the space feel bigger while also doubling as a place to outfit check before running out the door.
9 Unexpected Backsplash
A unique firing process makes zellige tiles super resilient and therefore popular in kitchens and bathrooms. But elsewhere they can be functional as well: Designer Eva Holbrook put them around this hearth to protect the wall from heat and to make a style statement on the partial wall.
10 Mural
When your formal dining room is also your everyday dining area, invest in pieces that deliver both form and function. In this Studio DB-designed space, the built-in velvet banquette is cozy and comfortable, but it also looks dressy and unusual lighting and beautiful wallpaper are easy ways to add character without taking up surface space. It doesn't get more regal than a de Gournay wallpaper but it's pricey, so you don't need to cover all the walls with it.
11 Pop of Sun
This bright yellow painted wall is a welcome, sunny surprise. But limiting it to an accent wall keeps the room feeling light, rather than making it feel a little claustrophobic.
12 Add Wood
If you want to really make a statement, skip the mounted headboard in your bedroom and use your wall instead. This DIY wood statement wall can take your room from basic to farmhouse in an instant.

13 Don't Be Scared Of Black
14 Keep It Subtle
A large wall like this one can dominate a room if you go too bold or too dark, so stick to a neutral color in a subtle pattern. That way, you can afford to get a little more adventurous with your furniture and decor.
15 Use Paneling
If color is not your jam, don't stress—you can still try out an accent wall. Use wood paneling on one wall to create dimension.
