The walls of a room are an essential part of interior design that everyone should consider. There are many options on how to adorn the walls–paint, wallpaper, and moulding being defining base options. Choosing the right wall design option for you and your design can enhance or detract from your design.
That’s why, in this blog, we introduce you to some wall design ideas and examples that we love.
PAINT INSPIRATION
Textured paint is a captivating and versatile option that adds depth, dimension, and personality to any space. Unlike smooth finishes, textured paint creates visual interest by introducing tactile elements to walls.
With its unique textures, such as sand, stone, or plaster-like patterns, textured paint can mimic the look and feel of various materials, adding a touch of sophistication or rustic charm to your interior design. This type of wall paint design idea not only enhances the aesthetics of a room but also hides imperfections, making it an excellent choice for older or uneven surfaces. Limewash paint is a popular trend that has a similar effect.
Accent paint offers a simple yet impactful way to breathe life and personality into any space. A single painted wall can make all the difference. By strategically selecting a vibrant, contrasting color or a subtle shade variation, accent paint can create focal points, highlight architectural features, or define specific areas within a room.
For instance, in this sage green room, the accent paint on the doors emphasizes the beautiful moulding and unique brass door handles. It adds a subtle but elegant touch to the room.
The types of paint finishes should also be something to consider when working with paint. There are several types of paint finishes available, each with its own unique characteristics and visual effects.
To start, a matte finish offers a flat, non-reflective surface that hides imperfections but may be less durable and harder to clean. Although it is harder to clean, it is a good choice for modern designs and offers a minimalist feel. When working with a matte finish, Lider matte finish wall plates can provide a cohesive element to your paint.
An eggshell finish provides a subtle sheen and is more durable than a matte finish, making it suitable for areas with moderate traffic. A satin finish has a smooth, velvety appearance with a gentle sheen. It offers good durability too and is easy to clean.
A semi-gloss finish offers a noticeable sheen and provides increased resistance to moisture. It is commonly used for trim, doors, and cabinets. A glossy finish provides a higher gloss paint sheen. It reflects light beautifully. It is the easiest to clean and is often used on surfaces that require extra protection, such as furniture or doors.
WALLPAPER INSPIRATION
Wallpaper is a versatile and transformative design element that can instantly elevate the look and feel of any space. With its wide range of colors, patterns, and textures, wallpaper offers endless possibilities for personal expression and style. Whether you’re seeking a bold statement, a subtle backdrop, or a textured surface, wallpaper allows you to create a unique atmosphere that reflects your personality and enhances the overall ambiance of a room.

MOULDING INSPIRATION
Wall moulding, also known as trim, is a decorative architectural element that adds visual interest and sophistication to interior walls. It comes in various shapes, sizes, and styles, such as crown moulding, baseboards, chair rails, and picture rails. Wall moulding serves multiple purposes, including concealing seams and transitions between different materials, adding depth and dimension to plain walls, and providing a finished look to a room. It can also be used to create a sense of elegance, highlight architectural features, or divide wall sections.
