If your living room is in need of a bit of TLC, but you don’t have the budget or time to completely redecorate, a feature wall is a cost-effective way to add personality, without being too overpowering.
“It may seem obvious, but the importance of choosing the wall itself should not be underestimated. Pick a wall without doors or windows and if possible, with interesting architectural features. It’s best if you can pick the wall with the largest area, however you do need to take into account the shape of the room. If the space you’re planning to spruce up is narrow, picking the longest side will only accentuate this.

A key trick is to include a few upholstered pieces or curtains in the accent colour. It’s also essential to choose the right design. When it comes to feature walls, bold is better, so pick paper with a large, striking or textured pattern.”
