The Timeless Look of an Accent Wall
Are Accent Walls in Style in 2025?
The spotlight is still on statement walls
Accent walls have come a long way from being just a quick pop of color. In 2025, they are still a strong interior design trend—just more considered, elevated, and expressive.
Today’s modern accent walls are about storytelling. Rather than feeling like an afterthought, they are used to anchor a space, create visual interest, or introduce a mood.
Here are a few ways the trend is showing up now:
Large-scale wall murals
Murals are leading the way in accent wall design. Whether abstract, natural, or architectural, a mural brings impact and intention to one wall—setting the tone for the entire space. Wallism’s custom-scaled murals make this easy to execute with precision.
Textured wallpaper and soft tonal patterns
For a more subtle take, texture is being used to create quiet drama. A matte finish or lightly raised surface can give depth to a space without dominating it. These accent walls pair well with minimal furnishings and neutral color palettes.
Color-blocked or theme-based contrasts
In 2025, accent walls are often designed to contrast not just in color, but in theme. A serene bedroom might feature a mural of abstract skies behind the bed, while a bold hallway might use sharp lines or high-contrast patterns to create movement and energy.
Whether you are using wallpaper to define a dining nook, highlight a fireplace, or create a focal point behind the sofa, accent walls are still a smart and stylish tool. And because Wallism’s designs are made to order and scaled to fit, your feature wall can feel completely custom.
Summary
Yes, accent walls are very much in style in 2025—but they have evolved. Today’s feature walls are more intentional, using large-scale murals, refined textures, or bold color blocking to add personality and focus to a room. Wallism offers made-to-order designs that make modern accent walls feel curated, not cliché.
