How to Use the Once Humble Feature Wall in Interior Decorating Continued

They work very well in modern architecture, when you have sheer walls of glazed windows, using wallpaper to a solid wall, (and lets face, often this is only one wall) can provide an original and expressive space to move away from the sterile look of all white.

If you are not daring enough to take up the challenge of bold designs, then subtle textures still work well, they change the form of the space and create interest.

The most important thing to remember about using feature walls in decorating is to restrain their use.

They are fantastic in entrance ways, making a good expression of your style when people enter and create a vivid lasting first impression. You can go quite over the top in this area as it is not a space where people spend a lot of time, it is a transitional space and can therefore carry dramatic designs very well.

Compare this to a bedroom, where you do spend a lot of time, it is better to tone down the design here, using more texture with subtle color changes in pattern usually work better here.

The main thing to remember is to make you interior flow, lead people through your home and make it a pleasing experience with the odd suprise of a feature wall here and there!
