Modern Design Trends: 6 Modern Accent Wall Ideas
Planning on adding some pop to your home with a modern accent wall? The days of painted accent walls are gone, but there are definitely some interesting contenders taking their place. We have laid out 6 ideas to achieve a modern look with your next accent wall.
1. Wallpaper
This isn’t your grandmother’s wallpaper. The trend now is to have a small accent wall with a pretty geometric print. We aren’t dipping our feet full in and covering floor to ceiling in that lovely floral print from the 1970’s. Think shapes rather than gardenias.

2. Natural Wood Walls
With wood and rustic vibes being as popular as they are now this shouldn’t be a shocker. Modern designs are relying heavily on wood and natural elements and their accent walls are no different. Again, we aren’t talking full paneling covering an entire room- these are subtle, pretty feature walls that draw the eye.

3. Wood Walls Painted Black
Another cool trend with wood walls is to paint or stain them black. This gives any room a nice sophisticated look. Be sure not to go too heavy on the black though or you will end up creating more of a dungeon than a home.

6. Metal
If you really want your modern accent wall to take on a unique design metal is the way to go. Metal panels, metal looking wallpaper, or even sheets of metal are great ways to achieve the metal accent wall.
