Want to give your room a fresh new look? A statement wall—also known as an accent wall—is a fantastic way to add personality and style. And when you use tiles, you’re not just making a design statement—you’re also creating a durable and easy-to-maintain feature.
Here’s how to create a stunning statement wall:
- Pick the Perfect Wall
Choose a wall that naturally stands out—behind your bed, sofa, or dining table is a great choice! This will become the focal point of your space. - Find the Right Tiles for Your Style
Tiles come in all sorts of colors, textures, and patterns. Here are some exciting options to consider:
- Geometric Patterns – Think hexagons or chevron designs for a modern touch.
- Textured Tiles – Raised patterns or 3D effects add depth and interest.
- Mosaic Tiles – Small, colorful tiles come together for an eye-catching design.
- Natural Stone Tiles – Marble, slate, or other stone finishes for an elegant, timeless look.
- Plan Your Layout
Before installing, lay out the tiles on the floor to see how the design comes together. This helps ensure a balanced and well-aligned pattern that suits your space. - Prep the Wall
Make sure your wall is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove old paint or wallpaper, and patch up any imperfections for the best results. - Install the Tiles
Use tile adhesive and a notched trowel to firmly place each tile onto the wall. Tile spacers help keep gaps even before grouting. - Grout & Seal
Once the adhesive dries, remove the spacers and apply grout to fill the gaps. Finally, seal the tiles to protect them from moisture and stains. - The new wall
Step back and take it all in—you’ve just transformed your space with a beautiful statement wall! Whether bold and vibrant or soft and sophisticated, your new wall adds character and charm to your home.
