You don’t need to wallpaper an entire room to make a statement. Accent walls are one of the easiest ways to transform a space — and they work especially well in small rooms where every design choice counts.
Here are some of our favorite accent wall ideas to inspire your next project.
⸻
1. Bedroom Headboard Wall
Create a cozy retreat by wallpapering the wall behind your bed. A soft limewash adds serenity, while a bold botanical print turns your headboard into a statement piece.
2. Entryway Glow-Up
First impressions matter! A patterned accent wall in your entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home. Try Moroccan tiles or terrazzo for a welcoming touch.
3. Dining Room Drama
Go moody and dramatic with dark floral or deep geometric wallpaper on just one wall. Perfect for intimate dinner parties and a sophisticated vibe.
4. Office Zoom Background
Give your home office personality with a patterned backdrop that doubles as a stylish video call background. Scandinavian geometrics or subtle textures work beautifully.
5. Hallway Surprise
Turn a boring hallway into a design moment with a pop of color or pattern. Narrow stripes can elongate the space and make it feel more dynamic.
6. Kids’ Room Fun Zone
Choose one wall for playful wallpaper — rainbows, stars, or animal prints — so it’s easy to change as your child grows.
7. Bathroom Feature Wall
Even a small powder room can feel luxurious with a single wallpapered wall behind the sink or toilet. Go bold here — the smaller the space, the bigger the pattern you can get away with.
8. Ceiling Accent (“Fifth Wall”)
Yes, the ceiling counts! A subtle texture or starry-night print can completely change the mood of a room and make it unforgettable.
9. Niche or Alcove Highlight
Have a built-in niche or bookshelf? Wallpaper the back panel to create depth and interest without committing to a full wall.
10. Behind the Sofa
Anchor your living room seating area by wallpapering the wall behind the sofa. This is especially effective in open-concept spaces to define the zone.
