Top tips for painting a feature wall

07 January 2021

Feature walls. Accent walls. Statement walls. Whatever you want to call it, this interior trend is here to stay — and it’s one of the best ways to have fun with your space.

If you’ve ever fallen into a Pinterest scroll spiral, you’ll know there are endless inspiring feature walls… and a few that miss the mark. To help you avoid the latter, here are our top tips.


1. Use it to define your space

A feature wall is a simple way to bring structure and personality to larger rooms.

Look at shared spaces like living rooms or dining areas and consider where colour could help define zones or add interest. A single painted wall can completely shift the feel of a room without major renovation.

2. Don’t pick any old wall

Feature walls work best when they feel intentional.

Let the architecture guide you:

  • Behind a bedhead is a natural focal point
  • Fireplaces are perfect candidates
  • Long blank walls can help anchor open-plan spaces

Go big or go home — but choose wisely.



3. Choose your Tint carefully

A bold colour works best when it complements the rest of your space.

Think in terms of:

  • Undertones that match your furniture
  • Accents that echo surrounding materials
  • Contrast that feels intentional, not accidental

With the right combination, a feature wall can elevate an entire room.



So, what are you waiting for? Grab a brush, a roller, and your favourite Tint — and get started.
