We often share advice on how homeowners can expand their square footage, upgrade their curb appeal, and make their living space more functional, but one piece of advice that we don’t think gets enough attention is how to have fun with your home’s interior. Yes, the majority of our work has a lot to do with increasing the functionality and livability of your space, but we can also help you create something funky and fun in your home simply for your enjoyment. One of our favorite ways to make a space stand out is through accent walls. Accent walls are a popular trend today, and homeowners are getting more creative in how they express themselves in their space. Here, we show you how homeowners in Nashville are incorporating accent walls into their interior design.
If you have a small space and don’t have the budget to tear down walls and expand right now, you might be especially interested in adding a textured wall to change the look and feel of a room. The wood plank wall added in this Nashvillian’s kitchen brings some light and warmth to a room that might otherwise feel too dark and heavy with all that exposed brick.
The same family also changed the vibe of their hallway with some reclaimed wood. Look at what a difference it makes!
Here’s an idea you’ll either love or hate: framing your refrigerator with reclaimed wood. The sleek stainless steel juxtaposed with the natural wood element makes for a quirky take on modern kitchen design.
Want to achieve a cool look with functionality built in? You might like an accent wall that offers storage space like the one below.
You can even give your bathroom more character with a funky wall! We gave this bathroom in Lockeland Springs a facelift by adding an accent wall behind the vanity. You can use real wood for a project like this one, or you might consider the hip trend of wood-inspired ceramic tile. We also incorporated a lighting design that would really showcase the wall in this home.
Like your home just the way it is? Accent walls aren’t just for homeowners to consider; business owners are also feeling inspired to carve out some character in their office space. Take, for instance, this business in downtown Nashville that used a combination of exposed brick and reclaimed wood to make a statement in their lobby, reception area, and conference room.
If you’re not convinced that accent walls are worth the cost in your office, consider this: out of the 8 things listed in this blog post that increase productivity, 3 of them have to do with the aesthetics, lighting, and color of the environment! So think of an accent wall as an investment in your business!
