Feature Walls - Page 2

I get too easily bored and would tear down or change the feature wall. Paint does it for me. I don't like wallpaper either.

I have a lady in my Canasta club who is from "old money" and she does not spend it unwisely. She wanted a whole wall of stone and a fireplace therein. She owns a lot of property in a couple other states and she hauled stones from one of the riverbeds on their property to her home here. She said it took 9 trips to get them hauled in her trusty pick-up truck but she was not going to pay for something she had on her property. She also had a lot of hired help. They are very large stones, not the small gravel like you normally see in a riverbed. That wall is beautiful. It's a game room and bar/lounge.

@Desert Lily. This is my favorite feature wall in what was described as a "modern farmhouse". lol. Note how the wall cleverly seems ro extend the stunning view out the window. The crest of the mountain continues across the wall, for instance.

@Nonametoday Sounds beautiful. Oh to be Ms. GotRocks... In more ways than one, I guess!

It is very nice. Are we to understand, though, that a wall sized piece of art or a wall with a mural is now a 'feature wall'...

I don't have any feature walls with texture and different materials. Those kinds of treatments are probably difficult to change. I do use paint as a feature. Paint is an easy way to add interest and contrast, and it's more easily changed if you decide you're tired of it.

I've painted one wall in a room a different color. I've had wallpaper on just one wall too. I also use a different paint color beneath the chair rail molding in our dining room. My entry way used to painted a different color than my living room, but I recently painted again and decided to use the same color for both spaces.

I don't have any feature walls in main parts of my home. Aside from the powder room my roomsare painted in a neutral color. The features of most rooms are the windows, fireplace, furniture placement. Those features are accented by window treatments or upholstered furniture in interesting colors or patterns. I do have feature walls in my husband's office and DD's second bedroom (yes she has two with a jack and jill bathroom between them). I do have feature ceilings in the dining room and music room that are across the hall from one another.
