Weekend Project: How to create a bedroom feature wall worth shouting about

Your bedroom should be your own personal sanctuary. A space where you can escape from the outside world. So it’s important to design it according to your needs and personality. One of the most interesting, yet easiest ways to express your individual style is with a bedroom feature wall.

And because you won’t be redecorating your entire bedroom, you can transform your space in just two days.

Why should you paint a bedroom feature wall?

A feature or accent wall, is a wall that is painted or designed in a different way to other walls in a room. By simply using different shades of colour, this simple effect will allow you to add interest and impact to your bedroom.

Whether you want to make a show-stopping statement or create a calming focal point, there are endless bedroom feature wall designs for you to explore. And it all starts with choosing the right colour…

Which colours will suit my bedroom feature wall design?

The colours you choose for your bedroom feature wall can make a big difference to the quality of your sleep, and your mood when you wake up.

Set the scene with a split wall

If you want a bedroom feature wall that's both eye-catching and on-trend, the split wall effect is a stylish way to supercharge your colour scheme. Similar to the tone-on-tone trend, this technique allows you to add depth through complementary hues. Why not layer up warm shades of Feather Pillow, Finest Burgundy and Angora Blanket?

Takeaway Tip: painting the upper section in a lighter shade will make your bedroom appear larger.

Bring nature into your bedroom

For a relaxing place to rest your head, embrace the soothing properties of natural hues. Painting your bedroom feature wall in an earthy shade of Soft Stone will bring a sense of comfort and warmth into your space to help you unwind after a long day.

Create depth with darker colours

It’s clear to see why blue feature wall bedrooms are trending right now. Decorating in darker shades, like Denim Drift, can have a calming effect, whilst adding character and depth to the room. For the perfect colour combo, balance your bedroom colour scheme with accents of Blush Pink.
