If you’ve ever had a wall in your home you can’t seem to figure out what to do with, it might be great opportunity for an accent wall! Accent walls are known for making a bold statement and are great conversation starter whenever you have guests. They add such an interesting element to a room, they can add dimension, create the illusion of a larger space, and can even help transition two rooms to make them feel like one. I feel like there are so many beautiful accent wall ideas out, but not many of them get the attention they deserve! So, here are some of my favorite accent wall ideas that you can try in your home and links to the tutorials.
