How to Use the Once Humble Feature Wall in Interior Decorating

Once upon a time the feature wall was just that, a feature, something used to draw our eye to a focal point in a room.

Unfortunately, as with every good idea, when everyone jumps on the band wagon and creates a huge trend and swell of enthusiasm, the feature wall has been the catch cry for clients wanting good interior decorating schemes in their homes.

As with every good idea that becomes popular, with overuse it's once good properties get negated and it then becomes an eye sore as we have to view multiple feature walls in every room of a house, in different colors for each, just picture that!!

So lately, even the mention of the word feature wall has made my blood run cold and puts a shiver down my spine. Until I discovered a new way to tackle this problem. Hit it head on with pattern and texture. Yes it sounds quite frightful and it is if not used carefully and I think this should make it work far better than the previous painted wall feature wall option because it is very daring and few people will have the courage to follow through.

With the resurgance of wallpaper over the last few years, some absolutely fantastic new designs, colors and textures have been released, often teamed up with coordinating fabrics.

These are a great way to add a feature wall into a home. They really provide a feature and a definitave focal point of a room. Used simply on one wall in a dining room for example it can provide a focal point to form discussion at the table and creates an intimate space, without enclosing the room. These wallpapers are not cheap so an ideal way to use them is in small feature walls.
