In this video I’m sharing 21 (plus a little bonus) DIY accent wall ideas that are genuinely easy to do at home and can completely change the vibe of a room without spending a ton. Accent walls are one of my favorite budget-friendly ways to take a plain, flat wall and turn it into a focal point that adds character. I walk through simple options like painting one wall a moody color (I’ve been painting my home Pure White, but I love a good dark accent), peel-and-stick wallpaper, faux brick, shiplap (horizontal or vertical), raw wood planks, and peel-and-stick tile—because these products have come such a long way. I also share ideas that add dimension and warmth like board and batten, wainscoting (even peel-and-stick!), beadboard, shelving with wallpaper behind it, and statement looks like geometric paint designs, two-tone walls, stripes or ombré, gallery walls, and even a painted mural. I give you realistic places to use each idea—like a half bath, a narrow hallway, behind a bed, a small entry wall, or around a fireplace—so you can pick what fits your space and your DIY comfort level. My goal is always cozy, elevated style… without the splurge.
