Examples: More on Accent Walls
On our last blog talked about why we like accent walls. We wanted to follow up with a few more inspiring examples of creative ways to think outside the designers’ box. Colour, texture, paneling, wallpapers, and large murals are all great ways to create an accent wall and focal point in your rooms.

Some of these accent wall examples are easier to install than the others. Paint is one of the best ways to transform a room with minimal effort. The murals are a great way to add some pizazz to rental units as they can be both applied and removed easily. The big floral mural costs $52.80 USD. Small investment for huge impact.
If you do have or plan to do an accent wall let us know how it turns out.
Next week we will be looking at Creative Storage ideas.
