A feature wall is one of the quickest ways to give a room a focal point. It pulls the eye, grounds the furniture and makes a space feel finished, all without touching a paintbrush or calling a tradie. The trick is to commit. A feature wall works because it is bold on purpose, so once you have picked the wall, let it lead. Here are a few ways to do it.
Go Bold With a Wallpaper Mural
Nothing turns a wall into a feature faster than a mural. One papered wall adds depth, colour and pattern in an afternoon. Look through our wallpaper murals and, if you are renting, our removable wallpaper, or the full wallpaper range. A rich botanical like Telopea or the softer Earth Oasis gives a living room, bedroom or entry a proper backdrop.
Or Let One Large Artwork Do the Work
If wallpaper feels like too much, a single big piece gets you there with one hook. An extra large artwork such as Delilah Dancing fills a wall on its own. Aim for something that covers most of the wall so it reads as the feature, not a stamp in the middle of it.
Build a Gallery Feature Wall
A cluster of frames is a feature in its own right, and a more personal one. Mix sizes and orientations for a wall that looks gathered over time rather than bought in one hit. Our gallery wall guide covers layout, spacing and hanging so it lands the way you want.
Pick the Right Wall
Choose the wall your eye finds first. Usually that is the one behind the sofa, the one behind the bedhead, or the wall you walk straight towards from the front door. Keep the other walls plain so your feature is not fighting for attention.
