Sometimes you walk into a space, and there's just something missing. The decor is beautifully staged, the curtains hung, but still, something seems off. You had the perfect design in mind, but it just doesn't seem to be giving you the ambiance you wanted.

If this is how you feel when you walk into your home, then you should consider adding a feature wall.

Having a feature wall means that one wall in a room is turned into an important design component. They can be bold, rustic, or simple but they always have the ability to transform an entire space. In many cases, feature walls can only be described as works of art.

You may have also designed an entire room around a feature wall as the main focal point. If this is the case, then you'll also need to make sure that it flows smoothly with your other design elements. Otherwise, you could end up with a beautiful feature wall that feels out of place.

Read on to discover the top benefits of adding feature walls in your home.

Top Benefits of Designing a Feature Wall in Your Home

Feature walls can come in many designs and different shapes. No two feature walls will ever be the same, which makes them unique to your home.

Feature walls are designed to meet you and your home's stylistic needs. Since they are typically a semi-permanent addition, they need to be designed and planned out in advance.

If they aren't properly designed, then you could end up with an unpleasant surprise.

It's also important to take into account your own skill set when creating a feature wall. From design to installation/painting, it's important to understand your limitations. Otherwise, you could end up with a feature wall that needs to be redone by a professional.

Explore the following benefits of adding a feature wall in your home to get your creativity flowing.

1. Exclusivity

Every feature wall may be inspired by an idea, but they are unique to each home. No two feature walls are exactly alike. Nor do they look the same within every home decor design.

This element of uniqueness makes feature walls exclusive. They are each one-of-a-kind and designed to work exclusively in a designated space.

2. Added Dimension

Feature walls instantly add dimension to a room. Dimension is important to any room's design because it draws the eye in. Dimension also adds texture and intrigue to a room which creates a full and dynamic space.

Feature walls can easily make any room pop with a dynamic design. A dynamic design would include multiple paint colors and potentially multiple materials. By matching the feature wall to your other decor, you're also adding in decorative layers which give the room stylistic appeal.

3. Style Upgrade

Don't want to remodel your entire home? A feature wall is an easy style upgrade that can change the look and feel of any room. Feature walls can be placed in bedrooms, living rooms, and even kitchens.

Each feature wall can be designed based on the person and the space's design needs. So, if your children are also in need of a style upgrade, then let them collect their own feature wall ideas. This also will allow them to add in a pop of color without painting the entire room.

Painting an entire room can sometimes be distracting and overwhelming. Especially, if the room is painted a bold shade of purple, red, or blue. By painting just one wall, you'll get an elegant pop of color without overdoing it.

4. A Work of Art

Feature walls can go beyond painted circles, stripes, and wood. And, forget stick-on decals and chalk paint. Your feature wall can be a work of art in and of itself.

Think of your feature wall as a canvas. This canvas has the potential to wow all of your guests while expressing your unique sense of style.

You could also consider having a professional artist paint your feature wall by hand. This will make your feature wall a true work of art that no one else in the world has. You could also contemplate recreating your favorite piece of art on your feature wall.

But, feature walls don't only need to be painted on. They can also be made out of fabric, wallpaper, or reclaimed wood. Stone and glass are also elegant and creative feature wall design materials.

5. Additional Storage

Features walls can also be functional. Since the feature wall is a central design element in the room, you can also add in storage as well. For example, shelves, a bookshelf, or a modern hanging wine rack.

Another popular feature wall idea is to have an entire bookshelf wall. Bookshelves can also be uniquely designed to meet your tastes whether modern or traditional. This will also give you space to store your books, art pieces, and family photos.

Creating the Perfect Feature Wall

If you're convinced that a feature wall is right for your home, then it's time to plan and design!

To start, you'll need to brainstorm feature wall ideas. First and foremost, take into account the current style and decor in your home. Browse feature wall ideas online or use Pinterest to discover what styles match yours.

Then, consider hiring an interior designer to help you design the feature wall. An interior designer can help you to match the design idea and tailor it to your specific space. They can also help you to find quality professionals to install or paint the feature wall for you.

To find a high-quality interior designer, consider getting referrals from friends and family. You can also read online reviews or browse social media for reputable interior designers.

When you narrow down your choices, it's important to ask them about their experience and education. You should also speak to them about your design plans and make note of their feedback.
