Feature walls are a great way to add colour without too much commitment; they’re quick to paint and easily changed.

Normally painted in a stand-out accent colour, feature walls provide a focal point in a room which can be updated to reflect seasonal trends or simply if you change your mind.

Consider the effect colour has on shape when planning a feature wall; warm colours will advance whereas cool colours recede. Look also for any obvious features that require special treatment such as dramatic architectural features like a fireplace or a centrepiece such as an Aga or bed to help dictate which wall you choose.
