Decor: 15 Statement Wall Ideas



Growing up walls were one colour throughout the house, a shade of white. If you were lucky then maybe you'd get one bedroom with blue walls and the other with pink walls. But now, it's absolutely possible to have not just one but a statement wall in every room of your house.

What is a statement wall?
A statement wall is a bold, striking feature on your wall that stands out in your home or office. It starts a conversation. A statement wall can be full of colour or print depending on your preference.

Useful tips for creating statement walls
  • You can create a statement wall by simply painting one wall a contrasting colour from the rest of the walls in any particular room for example red, black, dark blue. yellow, etc.
  • Either paint on or use wall paper to get the desired look.
  • Statement walls can be used to add colour to an otherwise plain room, especially if your furnishings are plain.
  • Prints are also a fun way to make a statement. Choose between stripes, floral prints, abstract art or geometric shapes.
  • Smaller, more subtle prints are great for bedrooms as they are more relaxing for instance, stars for a bedroom wall, especially for children.
  • Framed photographs, quotes and other wall hangings can be put up on one wall to make a statement.

A Pop of Colour

I tend to gravitate towards darker colours. To counter that, I always look for ways to add some colour to my outfits. Red accessories tend to be my go-to when it comes to adding pops of colour be it in the form of red shoes, a red necklace or some red lipstick. I've started using this same philosophy in life by doing something that I know will give me joy. It doesn't have to be anything extraordinary. Most of the time it's doing something I enjoy, like writing in my journal or reading a few chapters of my novel. Other times it's performing a task that I have been postponing for a while, like clearing out my laptop or talking to a friend. The end result is always a feeling of accomplishment. I look at this time as 'me time'; an opportunity to add some colour to my life.  Outfit Details: Dress - Thrifted (Gikomba); Coat - Gift; Shoes - Gift; Necklace - Old (Instagram shop); Earrings - Gift With this post, I have finally caught up with pending pos...

What I Wore | Feminine Pieces

Some days ago I watched a YouTube video that inspired me to push myself a bit more. I can't remember what the video was all about but I remember the vlogger saying that you should create more than you consume. That what we consume should serve to inspire us to create more.  Ever since I watched that video, I have been asking myself why I don't create as much as I used to. I feel like I have let my creativity slide and half the time I feel disappointed in myself for slacking. Granted, life has been tough on me over the last couple of years and this has had a domino effect on different aspects of my life.  I would love to get to a point where the happenings in life don't have such an effect on me but that is a work in progress.  I've been trying to push my creativity through my choice of outfits. Most days I gravitate towards my comfortable jeggings and a t-shirt but on other days I actually make an effort to put together two pieces that I would not ordinarily wear to...

STYLISH FIRST LADIES

Hi all! Today we Kenyans will get out fourth President. As much as there's pomp and fanfare, I'm more interested in seeing our new First Lady's style. On Sunday I read an article in the Daily Nation about First Ladies and style by Carol Odero and it got me thinking. I therefore decided to write a post about First Ladies around the globe and their style. Chinese First Lady, Peng Liyuan She has been pegged as First Lady to watch. Her style is more out there than her predecessors. Image She has been known to prefer outfits made in China. Image Cameroon First Lady, Chantal Biya As little as I know about her, I love that her style is daring. She's not the typical First Lady in understated outfits. And her hair...enough said! Image Image Image Samantha Cameron Mrs Cameron wears a lot of blue, but who's complaining? She looks fab. I love the simplicity of her outfits and the subtle prints. Image Image With style icon, Mi...
