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.

WHAT I WORE: Fashion Trance 2012

 Hi all!! Happy new month. I hope you are as excited as I am for the holidays. Last week, I won a pair of VIP tickets from Nancie Mwai to attend the Fashion Trance event held at the Mamba Village, Nairobi. I was so excited to have worn. I think this is the first giveaway I've ever won!!!  I went for a practical yet chic look because the weather was so uncertain. I chose my purple denim trousers, a sequin top and wedges. I carried my trench coat because I knew I would be reaching the house very late.   Because sequins can be a little too much, I kept my jewellery simple by wearing my ethnic Indian chandelier earrings which I absolutely love, a polka dot bracelet and purple ring. I had wanted to carry a clutch but then I realized that it wouldn't fit all the things I wanted to carry so I opted for this handbag. Oh and I finally got the first edition of my business cards. I'm so excited, I'd been meaning to get them done for so long that on Friday I ...

Style Challenge Day 6: Wear A Bold Print

 Hi guys. Phew! Last week was so crazy I couldn't keep up with everything, case in point my 30 day style challenge and weekly video. But I just had to get back to it this week. For day 6, I had to put on a bold print. I don't know if you have noticed but I am not very big on prints. Every time I shop, I automatically go for solid colours and if I pick prints it will inevitably be either stripes or florals. So for this challenge, I opted for a more abstract print. I love the colours of this tunic-style top. The chiffon fabric is light and breezy making it perfect for the warmer weather. I paired it with off-white skinny jeans and some beaded sandals. These sandals are a cross between flip-flops and sliders. I haven't worn such sandals in years so it was nice having a change from my usual shoes. I do believe however, that I need to open up a little to bolder prints and consequently add them to my closet.  Outfit Details: Top and sandals: Gift Jeans: Thrifted (G...

Red Carpet Style: 2016 SAG Awards

Laverne Cox Among my favourite celebrity outfits at this year's SAG Awards, a mix of black and white had to feature. This colour combination continues to be an all time favourite of mine. I also fell in love with ankle-length dresses worn by Giulliana Rancic and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. They provided a much needed break from the floor-length gowns that are commonplace at awards shows. Enjoy the rest of the photos below and do share your favourites in the comments below.
