Did you know that walls could have personalities?
Here are some of my favorite ways to create statement walls. I
hope you find one that works for you.
Statements should not be overwhelming. This is not a
statement you want to make. I recommend looking for architectural elements that
you want to highlight before you decide which wall and what materials you
choose.
Statement walls make more of a statement if you don’t incorporate
too many in your home.
Here are wall treatments that are popular now.
Shiplap
Many Street of Dreams houses this year are showing white or painted shiplap that have been
favorites in modern farmhouse-style homes.
A favorite of mine is the “Scandinavian” light casual vibe that
white painted shiplap gives to spaces. You can create a warmer rustic look
using natural stained shiplap.

Here are other materials designers recommend:
Reclaimed wood accent wall cladding
Made with authentic barn wood material provide a warm organic
surface to any space. Can be used as wall and ceiling treatment or can be used
as cladding on furniture such as vanities and dressers.

Gridded walls or wainscoting
For a more formal look than shiplap, especially for entries,
dining rooms and libraries, this is an outstanding option. Paint with a richer
color, like smoky black, dark blue or dark green for a contemporary look.

Accent interior window & door trim color
One of my favorites to spice it up is to add accent trim colors to a wall with large windows.

Ceramic Tile
This is a timeless material in baths for statement walls.

Wallpaper
Among design people the conversation of late has been about
wallpaper making a big comeback.
It is already here…except it is bolder and more stylish.

I enjoy using grasscloth to add texture to baths and bedrooms,
murals to add pattern and color. Keep in mind; a little goes a long
way. You don’t need to paper a whole house but one wall in the right
room for the right reason can take space to the next level.
