A geometric wall design used on an accent wall will add pattern, color, style, and design in a big way, for just a little money. Create a focal point in your room or keep it subtle with geometric shapes in a monochrome color palette. The choice is yours! There are many easy ways to create fun geometric wall patterns using simple methods and tools like painter’s tape, a paint roller, or even just Washi tape.
Geometric Accent Walls vs Solid Color Accent Walls
If you’re exploring the idea of a DIY accent wall, you might find yourself debating whether a geometric pattern or a solid color is better for your space. Ultimately, it’s totally up to you! But in general, there are a few guidelines that can help you make the best choice.
If you have a large wall, a geometric accent may end up looking too busy – either choose subtle patterns or go with a cohesive color scheme not to far off from the rest of the room’s color. Similarly, if you have a wall in a room that’s already got various patterns featured in it, a geometric accent wall might make your space feel more cluttered and hectic.
On the other hand, a solid color accent wall can easily get lost if it’s just in a small section, and might not bring the bold effect you’re looking for.
At the end of the day, it’s up to your own personal decor style and the room feel you’re going for. Love eclectic style? You may love the look wall murals in any pattern, paired with bold colors and funky decor. Trying to keep it clean and minimalst? Consider a modern design using crisp lines and natural color scheme. In either case, a geometric accent wall can help add depth, texture, and color to your otherwise bare walls.
Paint Designs vs Wooden Wall Art Designs
When it comes to geometric accent walls, there are a few different types to choose from. The first thing you’ll have to think about is whether you want a painted print on your wall, or whether you’d prefer a geometric wood wall art display. Think about the size of your space, the style and colors of your home and furnishings, and what you’re trying to achieve.
If you want the whole wall to be an eye catching feature, or have your heart set on an intricate pattern, a colorful paint design is usually the best option. If you’re just looking to add texture to a room, the uneven surfaces created by geometric wood wall art might be exactly what you need.
