Accent walls have become a go-to design choice for homeowners looking to add a touch of personality and visual intrigue to a room. Whether you're aiming for a rustic farmhouse vibe, a contemporary look, or a more classic style, an accent wall can transform any space with minimal effort. With various options available, you can easily customize the perfect accent wall to fit your unique aesthetic. Here’s a look at some of the most popular types of accent walls we provide at Raleigh Woodworks.
Shiplap or Nickel Gap
Shiplap has seen a major resurgence in recent years, becoming a hallmark of modern farmhouse style. Its wide, horizontal planks create a sense of rustic charm and cozy warmth. For a more refined look, consider a nickel gap, where the planks are spaced slightly apart to give the wall a sleek, modern appearance while still maintaining that classic shiplap feel. Whether you're designing a feature wall in a living room or accentuating a fireplace, shiplap or nickel gap walls provide an instant focal point.
Bead Board
Beadboard is a timeless design element that adds texture and depth to any space. Often used in more traditional or coastal-style homes, beadboard consists of narrow vertical panels with a characteristic groove between each piece. It's perfect for adding a classic touch to spaces like bathrooms, kitchens, or hallways. Beadboard can be painted in a variety of colors, allowing it to fit seamlessly into any existing décor.
Board & Batten Grid Wall
Board & batten walls are a sophisticated way to add architectural detail to your home. This style features vertical boards with small battens (strips of wood) placed in between, creating a series of panels. You can elevate the look with a grid pattern, turning a simple wall into a statement piece. Board & batten and grid walls are especially popular in dining rooms, entryways, or as a stylish backdrop in bedrooms.
Panel Molding
If you're aiming for a more formal, elegant accent wall, panel molding is the way to go. This style involves framing sections of a wall with moldings, creating an intricate and timeless design. Whether you opt for traditional square panels or a more modern, rectangular layout, panel molding adds a sense of sophistication and class to any room. It’s a great choice for spaces that need a little extra flair, such as living rooms, dining rooms, or home offices.
Modern Moldings
For a contemporary, bold look, geometrical patterns offer endless creative possibilities. You can play with angles, shapes, and color contrasts to craft a dynamic focal point that commands attention. Whether it’s a series of triangles, chevrons, or hexagons, geometrical patterns make a statement in modern interiors. This option is perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or even home offices that need a little bit of added style.
