Abstract wall

If you like travel, you can choose to accentuate your living room wall with a picture of your favourite city. You can also choose from modern prints, mixed geometric designs, or text accent walls.

Printed wall

One of the most used designs, the printed wall is a great way to accentuated your living room. With a plethora of designs available, you can embellish your living room wall with prints or patterns that suit your style. You can go minimal and choose something as simple as this accent wall or you can choose a bolder print as an accent wall.

Solid coloured wall

If you want something subtle yet something bold, there's nothing better than the old school solid-coloured wall. A solid-coloured wall enhances the style of the living room and gives it a little pop. You can choose to colour the wall with a bright and vibrant shade or you can paint the wall with something more pastel, depending on the decor of your living room.

Accessory placement

An accent wall doesn't necessarily mean redecorating or painting the wall by adding new designs or a wallpaper. To bring out the style in your living room, you can design a wall with all of your favourite pictures of your family, friends, or places you've visited to give the wall a more personal touch. 

Furniture placement

If you want a particular wall in your living room to make an impression, place the furniture against this wall to make an impact. For example, this accent wall features an abstract printed design with elements of classic and eclectic style. It's further accented with a classic styled table and eclectic styled arm chairs.

Quirky placements

If you want to add a little drama and pizazz to your living room wall, you can decorate it with quirky pop art posters, intriguing pieces of art, or a simple text design like 'Love' or 'Peace'. Adding a personal touch gives the living room more insight into your personality and makes the wall stand out.
