While every design enthusiast can appreciate the simplicity of ivory walls, there’s also an unconventional beauty to incorporating the perfect accent wall into your space. If neutral hues aren’t quite to your liking, try experimenting with eye-catching patterns and darker, arresting tones this autumn. We’ve curated a few tips to embracing gorgeous statement walls at home for Fall 2016.

Turn to shades of grey and geometric patterns: After all, the quintessential accent wall doesn’t have to involve neon hues and splashy hues. Stick to cool and chic stenciled geometric patterns and create a stunning wall with light grey shades. Meanwhile, a metallic sunburst mirror, gleaming orange and white table lamp and rustic wooden table can wrap up your decorating scheme.

Embrace bold black and white paint: For a more trendy approach to the accent wall, use bold black and white striped sections to complete your space. Use a plush dark grey sofa, fluffy white and pink cushions and a black wooden coffee table to contrast against the funky walls. Meanwhile, pink blossoms can bring an otherwise neutral space to life.

Stick to navy blue or dark grey for a sophisticated touch: If you prefer muted tones, paint a single wall with a dark, rich shade of grey or navy blue. Contrast your accent wall with floral wall art, and include a dove grey sofa and woolly throw blankets for the ultimate in style.
