Focal walls in the bedroom are a great alternative to a bulky headboard. You can create these focal walls in the bedroom in a weekend and enjoy the results for years.

Focus Wall Ideas for the Bedroom #1

Fabric is a wonderful way to create a focus wall in the bedroom. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. To create the least amount of holes in the wall hanging curtain rods at the top of the wall right where the wall and the ceiling meet. You want to run these the whole length of the wall.

Next, hang curtains of panels of fabric from the rods. Have them run the full height of the wall. You want fabric to cover every inch of the wall space for the most visual appeal. Sew your own fabric panels for a custom focus wall or buy pre made panels in the correct length for convenience.

Focus Wall Ideas for the Bedroom #2

Paint is a popular way to create a focal wall in the bedroom. Here is a fun idea for a contemporary focal wall project.

Start by painting your bedroom out in a neutral color. This should include your focus wall. Let the paint cure for at least twenty four hours. This means let the paint dry for twenty four hours before you move on with this project.

Now, cover the wall in squares of varying sizes. You can mask these off with painters tape. Press the edges of the tape down so you get full contact with the wall. Paint over the tape covering the full wall with a fun focal color.

Peel off the tape to reveal your modern square designs. You can use this method to create any type of design you wish. This same idea can take a country or vintage turn by using a silhouette in place of the circles you painted on the wall.

Focus Wall Ideas for the Bedroom #3

Vintage doors make a fun focal wall they can easily be mounted to the wall and cover the whole surface. You will first need to remove door knobs and any hardware on the back of the doors that would keep them from laying flush against the wall.

Reinstall the front of the door knobs if you want that additional touch for this look.

Predrill holes through the wood doors. Try to line these holes up with studs in the wall. You can also use wall anchors. Screw the doors into place on the wall. This looks is fun if you use doors in a color coordinated look. Staying with all whites, creams, and ivories is calm and soothing and creates a great vintage inspired focal wall in a space lacking architectural interest.

    The door idea sounds fun! I can imagine someone being a little confused if they got up in the middle of the night to find the bathroom while half asleep.
