Adding Architectural Interest

For those of you who don’t have an extensive art collection, invest in something a bit more modern and maybe a bit less expensive than that Matisse original. Skip the wallpaper and give your walls an update with faux leather 3D wall panels. This trend is perfect for those can’t seem to settle on a paint color, and the good news is that these panels are easily removable. A fun and simple approach to the textured wall trend is to start with just one wall, an accent wall or maybe even a retaining wall between two small spaces.

Creating a Creative Backdrop

Mounting a big screen television on the wall often seems stark and void of elegant decor. A easy solution to having your living space feel like a movie theater is to use faux leather wall panels as an unexpected backdrop for your media display. Instead of a man cave, think a mod cave!

Thinking Outside the Headboard

For the avid DIYers who love to think outside the box, a modern decorative accent wall accompanying a headboard is a clever way to add visual interest to a master bedroom. The master bedroom should be a tranquil haven, so this idea is perfect for providing the architectural lovers out there with the perfect space. The faux leather panels are also a great way to make use of taller ceilings.
