An accent piece on a focal wall? Why not?
A good example of using an accent piece on a focal wall is this modern minimalist bedroom.
The focal wall can also be used with other accent pieces, depending on your taste or interest. Using a minimalist patterned wallpaper for the focal wall, a giant piece of plain oriental fan as wide as the headboard was used as the bedroom’s accent piece. Since this room’s overall color palette is dominated by neutral colors of white, cream, black, gray and wood, the accent piece matched the color scheme of the room.
For that extra wow factor, you can experiment by choosing an accent piece that gives a pop of color. You can replace it with a large colorful artwork, or any decorative piece that breaks the monotonous color scheme. Accent pieces make great decorations to show your interests and personality.
To adhere to its minimalist look, a wall mounted lamp was used to match the floating side table along with other decorative pieces. Floating side tables make a good addition in a minimalist look as it doesn’t have legs or a bulky base. But before you decide to get floating side tables, make sure you are set with the bedroom layout, as you don’t want to be drilling holes here and there when you change the layout of your space.
The plain white areas of the room like the wall, curtain, and beddings, reflect balance and serve as the room’s blank canvas. It makes it easier to dress the room up with patterned rugs, throw blankets, and bed throw pillows to balance it out.
Adding elegance to the overall look of the bedroom is the floor length curtains that are just the right length to kiss the wooden floor. These curtains make a nice light filtering function against the semi floor-to-ceiling glass window. Although dark colored curtains are more effective in blocking out light as they tend to absorb more light, white curtains can still be used as a blackout curtain, depending on your fabric. Choose thick, tightly woven fabrics that have a blackout lining or coating as these materials are designed to block out light effectively. Other options for your curtain colors for this room could be dark or light brown to match the wood accents, or gray, to complement the color of your room patterns.
Lastly, a hanging indoor plant provides the room’s subtle pop of color to add warmth to this space, making one look forward to retreat here at the end of the day.
