Most homeowners know the importance of creating a focal point of the family or living room. In many situations, painting a single wall is the solution to making one area of the room more dominant or attention-grabbing. This is usually done on a wall where the fireplace, television or other large feature you want to stand out is located. What options are there in addition to painting an accent wall a different color? Our Flower Mound custom home builders have a few ideas you can toss around.
Incorporate plants and greenery on one wall. Plants are great for reducing stress and providing a feeling of relaxation and solitude to a room. If you have substantial natural light coming in windows, this is a way to not only make your spaces more relaxing, but filter the air as well.
Create a wall that’s a work of art. This is an especially good idea if you don’t have a lot of windows in your family or living room. Bold colors, unique shapes and a collection of various objects can transform an otherwise bland and boring wall to one that’s a great focal point.
Wallpaper is back – and the new textures, colors and designs are eye-catching. Yes, installing wallpaper can be laborious and time consuming, but considering the intricate designs, colors and patterns available today, the results are worth the effort. What’s “in” today are bold, colorful patterns and motifs that lend to your decor and stand out.
Wall tile and lighting. Tile stands up to wear and tear and is a striking complement to a living room. Lighting can highlight specific features of a wall or focus on a fireplace, bookshelves or other elements of the room. Imagine tile that enhances the color scheme or lighting that lends to a cozy or charming atmosphere; the possibilities are endless.
Create drama with textiles. Whether a tapestry or carpet hung above the sofa for instant texture and color or window treatments that are over-sized and dramatic, textiles add interest and depth to a room without having to paint.
There are so many ways to create spaces you and your visitors will love without getting out the paint, brushes and rollers! A little imagination can go a long way toward creating spaces that are relaxing and memorable.
