14 Creative and UNIQUE Ideas for Accent Walls

You know I love a good Accent Wall. Or do you call them a ‘Feature Wall’? Whatever you call it, accent walls are the perfect way to add texture, color, and interest to a room without it swallowing you up on all four walls. Can I get an amen?

My very first accent wall I attempted ended up WINNING THE INTERNET when this awkward picture of me painting my Glossy Swirl Accent Wall went viral on Pinterest the very first year that Pinterest was a thing.

It’s not even a pretty ‘styled’ after pic, and I’m in my pajamas… on top of a ladder… with a boy haircut. WELCOME TO MY HOME! Hehe!

Anyway… since this point, I’ve been a sucker for accent walls and finding different unique and creative ways to achieve them. Below I’ve rounded up a TON of inspiring and gorgeous accent walls, and even threw in a few of my own (click the links for the tutorials!) that I’ve pulled over over the years.
