Creating a Feature Wall That Reflects Your Style
Have you ever walked into a room and been instantly drawn to one feature that just stands out? That’s the beauty of a statement wall. It’s a way to show off your personality without overwhelming the entire space, giving a room a unique identity that’s entirely yours. Whether you’re drawn to bold patterns or prefer something softer and more subtle, creating a statement wall with wallpaper can completely change the way your home feels. If you're looking for a project that will leave a lasting impression, here's how to do it – and make it feel like you.
Let’s start with something bold. If you're someone who loves to make a splash, don't hold back. Why not go all in with a daring, eye-catching wallpaper? Large-scale floral designs, dramatic geometrics, or even full wall murals can bring a flat room to life in ways you might never have imagined. A well-chosen bold pattern can give a room a burst of personality, turning what used to be a blank canvas into something that feels vibrant and alive. The trick is to balance it. A statement wall doesn’t have to take over the entire room – sometimes one well-designed wall is all it takes. If you’re a bit unsure about committing to a big, bold print, try pairing it with neutral furniture or light-colored walls to keep things balanced. That way, the wallpaper gets to be the star without overwhelming the space.
When it comes to choosing the right wallpaper, it’s important to pick something that really connects with how you want the room to feel. The colours and patterns you choose will set the tone. Think about how you use the room – do you want it to feel lively and full of energy, or more calm and cosy? Maybe a deep, rich colour in your living room gives you that warm, comforting feeling you crave after a long day. Or perhaps you love the idea of a bright, playful pattern in the hallway that makes you smile every time you walk through the door. The wallpaper you choose should reflect your personal style and the atmosphere you want to create, so trust your instincts and go for something that feels right.
When thinking of decorating its always best to consider the type of wallpaper you choose too. For example, paste-the-wall wallpaper is a lot easier to work with then cheaper paper alternatives, the non-woven backing gives the wallpaper a strength to it meaning its harder to rip or accidentally damage, easier to manipulate on the wall when hanging and sometimes you don’t even need a paste table to do the job meaning you could save yourself some money on decorators if you’re feeling up for a DIY project, it’s a great way to keep costs down, especially if you’re working on a smaller space or just doing one feature wall. It’s a win-win – you get to show off your own handiwork, and your home gets that fresh new look without a hefty price tag.
Textures are another incredible option, especially if you're not a fan of bold patterns. There’s something special about a textured wallpaper that can change the entire mood of a space, even if it’s a subtle change. Think about a linen-look wallpaper that adds softness or an embossed design that catches the light just right. It adds depth and dimension without needing to be loud. Textured wallpaper works especially well in spaces where you want to relax, like a bedroom or a living room. It invites people in and makes the room feel more layered and interesting – almost like you want to reach out and touch the walls.
Now, don't underestimate the power of small spaces. Often, we think statement walls are only for large, open areas, but sometimes the smaller rooms in your home can benefit the most. A fun, quirky wallpaper can add energy and character to a tiny bathroom or even a narrow hallway. These are spaces you pass through often, and a splash of color or pattern can brighten them up in ways you wouldn’t expect. Small spaces are also great for experimenting. You can be a bit braver with your choices because the room won’t feel too overwhelming, even if you go for something a bit more out there. You might find that the smallest spaces in your home are where you can have the most fun with your design choices.
