FEATURING, YOUR WALLS...

This seems to be the latest topic of conversation..

Are feature walls in or are they out?

Well I think its completely subjective.

It seems feature rooms have become more popular than the feature wall but you can't escape that some homes and rooms, only need a dash of colour or just a small highlight.

So we could argue that painted feature walls are out but stone clad, wood panelled or wallpapered is in.

I have to say in all honesty does that not mean those walls have become "featured" so feature walls are still in......

....and to me that means paint is one of those Elements.

If you only feel comfortable with paint and you only have 1 or 2 spots to decorate then that is not wrong as your feature wall. I will say however there are right and wrong ways of adding feature walls into your home.

So  a few rights to think of...Consider your base or flow colour 1st now what colour do you feel will add a touch of personality to your home.

If its green go for something that sits well against your flow colour.....and stick with the greens if your going to add this feature to more than 1 room.

Now saying all that there are alot of alternatives to paint for feature walls...although a little more expensive than paint they are still a wonderful way of adding personality and a touch of design to your space.

Maybe your not ready for a full wall how about covering a canvas and hanging it.

Stone walls

Or stone cladding

Now this is the part where I would usually say there are some that I wouldn't do and that are wrong or no longer the trend forward, but that would be subjective wouldn't it.
