A bedroom accent wall can be a great way to add a pop of color or texture to your space. Adding an accent wall to your bedroom will also add personality and make the space stand out from the rest of your home. Additionally, having an accent wall in your bedroom can help to give the room a focal point and create a cozy atmosphere.

Grasscloth Wallpaper Accent Wall
You may be thinking, “wallpaper?” “grasscloth wallpaper?” “I thought that went out in the 90s”… and you’d be right. Here is the thing about trends, they always boomerang back around. We love how grasscloth, especially in an accented color, adds a sense of depth and texture to a bedroom. The subtle lines also give the room a sense of space and scale helping the space to feel larger. All in all, grasscloth wallpaper is a great way to give your bedroom a sophisticated hotel-vibe.

Reductive Trim Work Accent Wall
You really can have so much fun with your bedroom accent walls! We love this three-dimensional accent wall with reductive trim work panels layered on top of one another. The boxy shape adds a lot of pattern to the room and the reductive detail gives the illusion of dimension. It’s a sophisticated, albeit expensive way, to achieve an eye-catching accent wall in your bedroom.

Slat Wood Accent Wall
Thin slat walls are becoming more and more common especially in modern minimalist, organic modern, and mid-century design styles. We love how the wood gives a softness and coziness to the space, while the lines of the wood help to draw your eye up. To get the most of a slat wall accent wall in your bedroom space try backlighting or sconce lighting for a high-end modern style.
3/4 Board and Batten Accent Wall
This isn’t your typical board and batten accent wall. This particular accent wall style doesn’t take the detail all the way up, but stops 3/4th of the way. Adding a darker or contrasting accent color to the board and batten helps give your eye the illusion that the ceiling is slightly lower and cozier. This is a great feature to add if you already have some interest going on in the ceiling like beams or shiplap which would help draw your eye up, while the board and batten detail grounds and focuses your eye.

Board and Batten Accent Wall
Board and batten is an easy detail that you can add to your master bedroom without needing to hire a professional. Just a trip to your local hardware store, a nail gun, some caulk, paint and you’ve done it! What I love about this detail in particular, along with shiplap, is how well it works for pitched roof ceilings. Many master bedrooms that lack any beam work have to find creative ways to showcase the varying ceiling height, drawing your eye upward. Board and batten does just that.

Shelf Ledge Accent Wall
I love this idea! If you have a low-profile bed this works exceptionally well because it will help balance your bed with the scale of the rest of your room. A shelf ledge accent wall allows for a lot of space to play with when it comes to showcasing art, decor, and accessories you want to display. We often see this styling in coastal bedrooms, teen boy bedrooms, modern minimalist bedrooms, and mid-century bedroom designs.

Picture Frame Trim Work Accent Wall
Picture frame trim work has been around for centuries. You can see this style in many Parisian-style homes today. We love the “grand-minimalism” of this detail as it adds sophistication with its clean lines and a sense of structure with its boxy frame. We think the best way to pull this look off in a bedroom is to ensure that your middle picture frame trim comes to at least 6” wider than either side of your bed. This is a timeless look that can work with a wide variety of styles.

Wallpaper Accent Wall
Just because you’re using wallpaper doesn’t mean you have to put it up along all four walls of your bedroom. We love using subtle patterns like this natural herringbone that create a sense of movement and texture while also creating emphasis around the bed. You don’t have to use bold florals in your wallpaper design, but you certainly can. Using wallpaper on an accent wall is a great way to ensure it serves as a focal point without overwhelming your space.

Shiplap Accent Wall
Yup, shiplap isn’t going anywhere, and honestly we don’t really want it do. The wide planks and strong horizontal lines help make the space feel larger while still drawing the eye upwards. Being such a simple and basic shape shiplap can feel timeless among more modern styles and is not just bound to farmhouse decor.
