Feature walls add an anchor point to your living room and infuse it with personality, style and warmth. It’s also a great way to emphasise a unique architectural feature or instil a sense of extraordinary in an otherwise ordinary space. The wall with the TV tends to be a living room’s inherent feature wall, so using a darker colours can exude warmth and an invitation that says “come in and make yourself at home”. So check out these tried-and-tested ideas.
GO ALL AROUND
1. The eternal question: Which wall captures the most attention? How about all of them? If budget allows, install a pretty wallpaper and add extra interest with a mosaic display where the TV is.

2. Every one loves a brick wall – it’s striking, and adds texture and personality to an otherwise boring interior. For an extra bit of oomph, decorate it with paraphernalia, pop art and street signs.

4. There’s no rule that vertical gardens are meant for outdoors only. House plants are also important in the house, and having a thriving lot of them makes can perk up a pale scheme.

GO LIVE
5. Break the monotony with a three-shaped built-in bookshelf that’s both beautiful and useful. This feature wall is a great way to display trinkets, books and potted plants.

GO SECRETIVE
6. A fun garden theme has been created thanks to the tree structure that draws attention away from a wooden wall shelf that hides a worship altar and storage in the trunk, while the semi brick wall gives the living room an earth, rustic feel.

GO LIGHTS
7. Clean lines with Scandinavian influences – white brick, maple accents and hanging lights – is a look that’s simple, modern and light. Wall lights or hanging lamps in this case can add ambience to your décor. Arrange them in a row to create a unified lighting concept.

8. A bookshelf wall makes an impactful statement, especially if you’re fortunate enough to have high ceilings. It’ll save you the trouble of having to buy a media console and tidy up the messy cables and wireless modem. Plus, it hides the awkward L-shaped beam and pillar in old HDB flats that we don’t know what to do about.

GO LUXE
9. Give your accent wall a classic upscale touch with marble. It doesn’t fade or worn, and it’s easy to wipe it down. Black marble also stands out to minimalist and mostly-white interiors, and exudes simple elegance.
