Wooden Wall Accent
1. White Wood Accent Wall
For a simple, but beautiful wall accent try framing your wall with single vertical battens to give the space some dimension. This could be an easy DIY that would elevate the look of your room.
2. Wooden Green Accent Wall
These vertical wall battens alternate in size with one large batten placed beside a single smaller one, this gives the wall an almost 3D effect. The combination of wall batten with a bold color choice draws your eye and creates a focal point within the room.
3. Board And Batten Wall
The batten on this wall was strategically placed to account for the headboard space and frame the bed beautifully. The wall detail draws your eye to both the bed and the wall, enhancing the space’s design.
4. Thin Wood Accent Wall
For a more complex design, you could attempt this feature wall that uses small pieces of batten in a triangular design meeting in the middle to form a diamond. The finished product is stunning and would be a beautiful accent wall for any bedroom.
5. Wainscotting Accent Wall
For a more traditional look try wainscotting your accent wall. This simple but gorgeous design takes a boring space and makes it look sophisticated. Paint it a bold color to make the design pop.
6. Green Bedroom Feature Wall
This feature wall has a simple design that could be easily replicated within your home. The rectangular shape makes for a straightforward DIY, perfect for a beginner.
7. Modern Wall Accent
The designs you can choose for your wooden wall accent are almost limitless! This unique design draws your eye to the part of the wall where the batten meets. It creates a horizontal line in the wall that competes against the vertical ones for a modern look.
8. Wood Feature Wall
This beautiful design has a contemporary style that makes the room look sophisticated. The intricate details in the design are gorgeous and would make a beautiful backdrop to a bed.
9. Beadboard Accent Wall
Replace your headboard with a wooden wall accent instead! This wall design takes six rectangular sections, frames them, and then places the beadboard in opposing directions for a unique and visually appealing design.
10. Chevron Accent Wall
Want to make your ceilings appear higher? Try out a chevron wall design. The upside-down v-shape of the chevron pattern draws your eye upward and creates a visual effect that makes your room look bigger. The chevron pattern on this wall is large therefore having a greater visual effect than a smaller chevron pattern would.
11. Shiplap Accent Wall
Shiplap is a classic, but beautiful wall accent! Perfect for a modern farmhouse-style home, the shiplap, particularly in white gives the space a timeless look that will last for years.
12. Wood Slat Paneling
This style of wood paneling is trending all over this year and it’s stunning! The simple thin slats add dimension to the room while the natural color of the wood brings a bit of the outdoors in.
13. Patterned Accent Wall
This stunning navy feature wall has a gorgeous patterned design that draws your attention! Both the color and pattern give it a slightly masculine and modern look that would work well as the backdrop to a bed.
14. Dark Green Accent Wall
Similar to the wood paneling using small slats closely grouped, this style slightly separates them and gives a less busy design. The design along with the bold wall color choice creates a nice contrast within the room accenting the bed.
15. Black Wood Accent Wall
Love the design and color of this wooden wall accent! The wall has a modern look that could work well with a few interior design styles including boho, mid-century, modern, western even possibly a modern farmhouse.
16. Wood Accent Wall Design
Love this upscale sophisticated design! By simply connecting the rectangles on the wall this design went from basic to modern and unique. The layout along with the bright white color pull the entire look together.
17. Modern Black Accent Wall
What happens when you take a chevron pattern and mix it with wainscotting? You get this bold modern design! Ideal for the bedroom the chevron pattern would frame the bed with the wainscotting highlighting both end tables.
18. White Feature Wall
This is a popular design that has been showing up all over the internet. The style is often seen in nurseries and living rooms, but I believe it would look stunning as the backdrop in a bedroom.
19. Navy Blue Accent Wall
Love love love this beautiful batten wall! Much like one of the other examples it has a simple vertical design, but with sloped ceilings. The vertical length of the batten makes the already high vaulted ceiling appear even higher as it visually draws your eye up.
20. Diamond Accent Wall
Last, but certainly not least is a diamond-shaped wooden wall accent. Although this could work for either gender it does emanate a feminine vibe. It looks stunning in this bedroom and would look beautiful as an accent wall in a nursery!
