22 Beautiful Accent Wall Ideas For The Bedroom

The bedroom should be your sanctuary. A place you feel most comfortable in, where you can rest and unwind after a long day. Comfort should be that main feature in the bedroom, meaning a suitable bed, closets, and dressers for your clothes and maybe a night table or a vanity if you have room for it. What most people don’t pay much attention to in a bedroom is the decor. Of course, you might look for certain types of furniture or covers and bedding to make the room more pleasing, but there are other ways to make your bedroom special.

Wall art is a simple way to brighten up a place that doesn’t take up too much space. Pictures and frames are all well and good, but honestly, thanks to our phones and the thousands of pictures we have on them, hanging pictures in our home is becoming a thing of the past. Art and paintings can be quite expensive, and sometimes we get bored of the painting or it just doesn’t match the decor anymore once we decorate. So how do add the decor to the bedroom?

Accent walls are quite a popular decor feature and they can be created in a variety of ways, from painted murals or shapes to intricate designs from different materials. They add a certain dimension and aesthetic effect that can’t be accomplished by simple decor pieces. With that said, let’s take a look at some amazing accent walls that can transform your bedroom.

Paneling is becoming more and more popular for accent walls, and you will see why. The patterns and designs you can create are nothing short of amazing, like this white paneling with wooden rhomboid design, giving you a luxurious modern look.
