11 Bathrooms Made Spectacular with a Feature Wall

Feature walls – AKA accent walls – are not yet passe, so don’t skip this one! One striking wall has the ability to transform a room from just-right to spectacular. And by feature wall, we mean real focal-point feature walls – not just a wall painted in a different color than the others.

Try to imagine these eleven bathrooms without the feature wall. They’d be nice, maybe even beautiful, but not at this level of jaw-dropping amazingness.

Check them out!

It’s impossible to define a single characteristic that makes a wall into a feature. Sometimes it’s the luxuriousness, elegance, and drama of the material, like these work-of-art solid-slab stone walls:

Sometimes it’s the subtle, touchable texture:

Sometimes it’s the strategic use of materials:

(That wall is stamped aluminum! Those homeowners had better make sure to waterproof that completely…)

And sometimes it’s just a well-executed pattern that takes the room from blah to bazinga!

(Plus, this bathroom proves that you don’t need a full-sized wall to make a statement!)

But the wall material isn’t always what makes it eye-catching; sometimes it’s the shape, like this dramatically curved masterpiece:
