which wall to accent for toddler room n

3 years ago

Hi working on updating and finishing my son’s room and want to create an accent wall however not sure which wall makes the most sense. Looking into the room standing at the doorway you’re looking straight at the wall with the two windows however not sure if that makes the most sense. There are two other walls (one where the head of his wooden bed is) and the other with his dress. First photo wall standing at the door entrance to room, second photo the wall to the left , this the wall to the right

Yes, the mosaic is bordered by a thin limestone pencil tile. The white tile is thinner than the mosaic, so the pencil tile makes a nice transition between the two. This is not our tile, but it's the picture that inspired what we did with the pencil tile. Laying the tile out on the livingroom floor, just a single tile width, really helped to visualize what pattern we liked. I was going to do a full sheet of masaic (12") as the stripe, but when I laid it out it looked like too much mosaic. We played with the widths of the mosaic by cutting one sheet into 3" rows and adding or taking away sections to make different width strips. Doing this, coupled with taking the width of the cuts neccessary for the white tile into consideration really helped to visualize the look.

Accent walls should be accenting something. If you don't have a feature point then skip it. Honestly accent walls usually only cause more issues in terms of arranging and decorating.

It looks like the wallpapers that you have shown us are all over the place. I think you may want to back off and start with creating a color palette that includes the furniture, as well as bedding and flooring. I'm not big on the idea of finding wallpaper first and then designing around it.

Jenna, the 'Well, duh' was a bit condescending, considering you have given people nothing to look at in an attempt to help you. How can we help you when we have no idea what the room looks like and where the sofa is? Celerygirl does AMAZING mock-ups for people when they supply pictures, so they can see how something will look. We don't know your colors, what your sofa looks like or what the wallpaper looks like. If someone came up to you and said, 'Accent wall.', wouldn't you ask them what they were talking about? Here's an example of a post that gives enough info and a pic, so people can give their opinions - [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/will-a-white-cream-carpet-be-a-mistake-dsvw-vd~5463113?n=48[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/will-a-white-cream-carpet-be-a-mistake-dsvw-vd~5463113?n=48)

I think this idea would look great with the furniture….all walls the same color, but a fun ceiling light being the accent.

The front wall with windows will work. I recommend using bright colors that energize your child and help him to remain active for better observation. Different colors have different effects on the brain; Red is used to stimulate the body and mind and increase circulation. Yellow is thought to stimulate the nerves and purify the body. Orange is used to heal the lungs and to increase energy levels, so choose them carefully.

We did an accent wall in this boys bedroom behind the wall with the headboard. Perhaps sharing this design with you will help you make your decision.
