If you’re looking to set up a quick accent wall to change the ambiance of your room or any living space, you’re in luck! There are tons of options to choose from when it comes to altering the feng shui of your place of refuge quickly, and walls are the best place to start with. But, having moved to a new house can be a little time-sensitive to dress up your walls. That’s why we have compiled some of the quickest ways to accentuate your walls just before your stuff arrives.
Throw on some wallpaper
When we think of wallpaper we tend to think of that annoying product that’s impossible to remove, and a headache to paint over. However, there are tons of options for a temporary wallpaper that make it easy to remove. You won’t need to use any paste to cement the temporary paper to the wall so it has the added benefit of being easy to apply. Just find whichever wall you want to accent, get the appropriate size and you’re good to go! Enjoy the new aura in your room.
Wood planking provides comfort
If you’re looking for that rustic or finished appeal in your room, wood planking is a good option for you. It’s easy to apply, it can be temporary, and it completely changes the atmosphere. If you don’t know how would wood planking look as an accent wall, Charredwood.com has a few examples you could look into. Their charred wood planks are meant to last for an extended period of time requiring little to no maintenance.
The old fashioned way
You can easily paint the wall of your choice to add an accent in a day, but it does have the downside of being a lot messier. One gallon of paint will cover one wall and change the accent of the room, but you’re probably going to want to invest in drop sheets. It’s a fast and easy method like the others, but it involves cutting corners and the ceiling, so make sure you have a good brush handy.
Decorate with memories
If you have more than a few artsy picture frames on hand, you can decorate an accent wall with a collage of your memories. Finding matching picture frames is either an easy trip to a store or an easy browse online. Driving everyone’s attention to the pictures that mean the most to you is a great way to create an accent wall.
Stencil away
If you have some wall stencils handy, or you’re artistic enough to make your own, these can change the aspect of the room entirely. Setting up a few wall stencils and having alternating shades of similar colors creates a cozy but brilliant view.
There’s a myriad of options to choose from when it comes to setting up an accent wall quickly! It’s just up to you to find the option that works for you and what you think would look best in your home. If you’re really in a hurry, just look at the items you have on hand and see what kind of work you can get done. Don’t worry, more of these options are temporary if you ever decide to change them in the future, and you’re just a coat of paint away from fixing any changes!
