BAM for last weeks design discussion…OMBRE!
This week I had a special request from Holly at West Pear Avenue. She tweeted me last week and asked me to do a follow up to accent walls.
Two weeks ago, we discussed accent walls in general. This week, Holly wants to know how you feel about wallpapered accent walls.
Are you a fan?
BAM or SLAM?
This week I am giving away two blogger pre-made designs. If you haven’t entered yet, click here to enter.

This recipe is one of my all time favorite weeknight pasta recipes. It is healthy, light and full of flavor. It is a Cooking Light recipe, although you would never know it, from March 2010. I have made it for several people and have had rave reviews each time. This week, I made it with [...]

BAM! for Bubble Lighting This week, I want to mix things up a little bit. I love color, but when it comes to paint I typically stick with neutrals on the wall, bringing in color through art and accessories. Earlier this week, I was reading through the March’s issue of House Beautiful on color and [...]

I hope you had a terrific weekend. I spent a portion of my weekend working on the kitchen. I finally broke down and painted! Originally, I had planned to paint the room a dark charcoal. Hoping for a deep, matte charcoal, I chose Knight’s Armor by Olympic as the final color. However, part way through [...]

My Parents Front Porch in Full Bloom Thank you for your input on the kitchen color Wednesday, you talked me into it… This weekend, I am going to jump in and paint the kitchen deep charcoal. The color I chose is one that I picked up when I first moved into my apartment in Charleston. [...]

I’m more on board with wallpaper for an accent wall (much more so than paint) but I’m so curious what everyone else thinks…

I think a focal wall is a good thing however it might be achieved – wall paper, a different wall color, stenciling, artwork. I say Bam. If you like it, why not!
BAM! Wallpapered or stenciled, I’m definitely a fan.

In the past I would have said, no, but I think they’re growing on me. If Holly were choosing my wallpaper a definite BAM, she has quite the eye!

A total BAM for me! It creates a new dimension to a room and adds character!

Definite BAM! It’s like a vibrant shirt with a classic pair of dress pants. Gives a little pizzaz to a room!

Looks like a lot of bang for the buck! Why not?
Im not a huge painted accent wall fan-but wallpaper is a different story. I say BAM- I have it in my laundry room and its just enough-if I were to have wallpapered the whole room it would have been way too much.
BAM! I think it’s a great way to bring in pattern, without the pattern becoming too overwhelming (if the pattern was on all four walls).
I like them if they are used as an “accent” (meaning a small area). I prefer entry ways, end of halls, or somewhere where you don’t have to look at them in your living space and feel overwhelmed by them.
Looks pretty, but a pain to remove if you want a change. So I say slam.
BAM! I did a wallpaper accent wall in my office and love it. I am not a fan of a painted accent wall though.
I definitely say BAM for stenciled or wallpapered walls! It can be just enough pattern without overwhelming the space. Good idea, Holly!

I absolutely love wall covering! And to use as just an accent wall is so much fun. I love it when they are used for the back of a bookshelf too!!

Basically, BAM!
But my feelings for accent walls–be it painted or paper–are still, “I love them in the right application!”

I like accent walls…not a big fan of wallpaper just because the work involved
what caught my eye us that ombre stair railing.. it is fab!
June recently posted..Memorial Day…
As a whole–BAM! These are definitely good examples…I don’t like them in all cases though–but I do prefer wall-papered accent walls to painted accent walls.
Bam! I like a different effect whether it’s painted, stenciled, wallpapered, whatever. It’s up to the person living in the space ~ not some designer.

I think BAM! It allows us to use a bold, loud or bright pattern/colour in a room without it being too much!
