In interior design, sometimes less is more. Rather than covering every wall with wallpaper, today’s leading designers and homeowners in the Denver metro area are embracing accent walls as a creative and cost-effective way to add depth and character to a space. Whether it’s a bold mural, vertical stripes, or a textured section, one well-placed accent wall can completely transform a room.
An accent wall is a single wall (or part of one) that stands out through the use of unique colors, materials, or patterns. It acts as a focal point, adding interest without overwhelming the room. For example:
A mural behind the bed
Bold stripes in a hallway
Patterned wallpaper behind the living room sofa
Accent walls are ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, dining rooms, and even stairwells.
Creating an accent wall has both aesthetic and practical advantages:
✅ Budget-friendly: Less material required than full-room wallpapering
✨ Creates a focal point: Draws attention to key areas in the room
💡 Adds personality: Great for expressing bold styles in a contained way
Designers can place symmetrical or asymmetrical accents depending on the room layout. Want to reflect your mountain home’s natural surroundings? Try a mural with snowy peaks. Coastal retreat? Choose nautical textures or coastal-themed wallpaper.

Accent walls allow you to add depth, contrast, and style without the cost of covering all four walls.
Ideas:
Use bold wallpaper behind shelves or art
Apply vertical stripes on one section of a wall
Experiment with mural placement above or below the sightline
Even small applications can create dramatic change.
