Timeless Textures

With their steady rise in popularity over the past several years, it’s clear that statement walls are here to stay. After all, they’re perfect for giving a space a facelift without the time, effort, and expense of redoing an entire room, and — with endless possibilities available! — loved for their versatility.

“When people move into a house, whether it’s an old home built in 1940 or a brand-new build, there’s going to be tons of blank wall space,” says Garrett Faust, founder of Minneapolis-based Vibe Feature Walls, who specializes in designing and installing statement walls for both residential and commercial clients. “Now, more than ever, people are looking for ways to reflect their own style and decorate with personal touches, and statement walls are a great avenue to express themselves.”

In the past, many chose to simply paint one of their walls a different color or add a layer of whimsical wallpaper to create some visual interest. Today, people are opting for timeless styles and textured treatments, especially when it comes to integrated designs that incorporate other elements like wood or stone. If you’re looking to reinvigorate your interior design, here are five popular styles to consider for your next project.

Board and batten

Perfect for adding some texture to smaller spaces such as powder rooms, board and batten paneling commonly covers the lower half of a wall — offering a dual opportunity when it comes to color and texture combos. While some choose to paint or wallpaper the top half, you can also pick a striking color for the paneling to make a neutral color pop up top.

Geometric motifs

No need to hang artwork when the wall itself is art! Often more intricate, geometric patterns are great for leaving a lasting impression in a larger area like a living room, or adding a unique touch to more personal spaces like bedrooms and home offices. Since they can be as bold or subtle as you want, they also provide a golden opportunity to get creative.

A picture frame palette

On the other hand, if you’re an art enthusiast or photography fan, picture frame molding might be the style for you. Not only does it infuse subtle texture into a space, but it also provides the perfect backdrop to display and highlight your collection, and with a variety of framing sizes and grid options available, it’s easy to customize your very own gallery.

Sophisticated shiplap

A classic style typically associated with lake homes and farmhouses, shiplap siding has finally found its way into modern homes around the metro. While horizontally installed reclaimed or stained wood will generate a more rustic vibe, vertical installation along with a coat of crisp white paint will add a sleek modern edge and complement the black, white, and gray tones of contemporary interiors.

A stylish slat wall

For an elegant statement and organic touch, try a simple, vertical slat wall to enhance your existing interior design. While style, spacing, and the type of natural wood used can vary, Faust has found white oak to be a particularly popular choice of material at the moment — especially if your home’s floors, cabinetry, or built-ins feature white oak as well.
