Making the right statement in your home shows off your personality. That's why we partnered with Shutterfly for this post.
Stop staring at that blank wall, and make something happen. It might seem a bit intimidating to take the first step, but designing a feature wall should be a fun process that elevates your unique style. Think about how the rest of your space is arranged along with what items should really be in focus, and you'll end up with a statement that invites everyone into your home. All of these suggestions are inexpensive updates that amp the drama of your home, resulting in a personal touch you'll love.

Start at the Center
Think about selecting a main piece and then building around it when creating a statement wall. The combination of the dark wood of the statement artwork alongside framed personal images creates an inviting feeling without clashing together. And natural elements, like a vase filled with branches, add to the arrangement.

Go With Wallpaper
The wallpaper of your childhood has come a long way — and a unique print is a quick and easy way to inject tons of color and style into your space. Use as a way to define the room, then think about how to arrange prints or other decor so the patterns and colors work together. If working with a vivid hue like this bright green, pairing with neutrals keeps the look cohesive. But a few pops of color move the eye around the room, making it feel bigger.

Keep It Simple
Focus on a single artwork that demands attention, like this modern art dominated with moving lines. Play up one color in the painting by surrounding the artwork with other similarly hued items, like accent lamps or small side tables. The combination works together for a perfectly styled wall. Lighting can add lots of drama, so think about using ceiling spotlights to highlight what you're featuring.

Think About Shelves
If you're looking for a really stunning way to style a wall, think about creating shallow shelves that work for displaying the stuff you love while defining hung items. And it's an easy DIY that works when built around a floating TV or standalone piece of art. And placing a reflective wallpaper behind the display creates a really interesting space.
Go Big
Along with making your space seem grander, opting for a large print or mirror to style your wall makes a big statement. And we love how the look gets a big boost thanks to a bold paint color. Or you can really add some serious drama and go with a lacquered paint, which creates a lush surface that's also reflective.
