The ‘feature wall’ has been a bit of a game-changer in interior design, whether you’re styling up a busy office space or adding a touch of personality to your living room. They’re not just about looking good—they’re about making a space feel unique and intentional without going overboard. In a workplace, a feature wall can be a real statement piece, bringing a burst of colour, texture, or pattern that breaks up the monotony of plain walls. It’s a clever way to add character while also giving the space a bit of a boost.
In office settings, feature walls can do a lot more than just look nice. They can help define different areas without needing actual partitions—think a bold wall to mark out a collaborative zone or a calming, nature-inspired design to set the mood in a breakout area. Plus, incorporating company colours or a bespoke design can subtly reinforce the brand identity, making the space feel more cohesive. It’s all about making an impression without being too in-your-face. We even have an in-house mural painter who creates bespoke artwork for our feature walls, but that’s not the only reason we love them—they’re just such a simple way to make a big impact.
Colour choice is crucial when it comes to feature walls. Blue and green shades are great for creating a relaxed, focused vibe, while warmer colours like yellow or orange can add energy and positivity. Choosing the right hues means thinking about what you want the space to feel like—whether that’s motivating a team or giving everyone a bit of breathing room on a hectic day.
And it’s not just for offices. At home, feature walls can bring your personal style to life. In the living room, you might want to go for a bold colour or interesting pattern behind the sofa to ground the space. In the bedroom, a textured wall behind the bed can add warmth and a sense of comfort. It’s about making the room feel more ‘you’ without having to redo the whole space.
The great thing about feature walls is their versatility. Whether it’s a mural, exposed brick, or just a pop of colour, it’s an easy way to refresh a space. You don’t need to go all out—sometimes a simple accent wall can completely change the feel of a room. Ultimately, it’s about creating a focal point that draws the eye and tells a bit of a story, whether that’s in a bustling office or your cosy home.
