Looking for a high-impact, low-effort way to transform your living room? A feature wall might be the answer.
Whether you want to add drama, definition, or depth, a well-designed feature wall brings personality to your space — without the cost of a full renovation.
Here in Calgary, our fall and winter clients love updating their living rooms with bold paint accents, modern textures, and design-forward colour choices. And with the cooler months being the ideal time to paint interiors, now’s the perfect season to book your transformation.
Let’s explore the top feature wall ideas to inspire your next project.
🎨 1. Bold Colour Accent Walls
The classic — and still a showstopper. A strong, deep colour on one wall instantly anchors a room and elevates your decor.
Top Calgary picks this fall:
- Old Navy (2063-10) – Rich, modern navy
- Essex Green (HC-188) – Moody and luxe
- Rust (2171-20) – Autumn warmth in a bold swipe
Perfect for:
- Fireplace walls
- Behind a sofa
- TV/media walls

🟫 2. Painted Panel or Wainscoting Walls
Want texture without wallpaper? We can add panel designs or faux wainscoting and paint it in a bold or subtle shade.
Why it works:
- Adds structure to modern or transitional homes
- Looks upscale without being overdone
- Easy to maintain and repaint down the road
Pro tip:
Use contrasting colours like Chantilly Lace above + Chelsea Gray below to define the space.
🖼️ 3. Framed Feature Walls for Art & Decor
Designate a wall to display your best artwork, shelving, or floating console — and frame it with a rich colour to make it pop.
Ideal colour combos:
- Pale Oak + Old Navy
- Natural Linen + Deep Plum
- Swiss Coffee + Black Beauty
These combos work especially well in homes with large windows or minimalist decor.
💫 4. Geometric Paint Patterns
Add personality with two-tone designs, diagonals, arches, or colour-blocked shapes. We use laser levels and high-end masking techniques to create crisp, clean patterns.
Best for:
- Kid’s rooms or playrooms
- Home offices
- Design-forward open living spaces
✨ Want something custom? We love helping clients bring unique visions to life.
🖌️ 5. Same-Colour, Different-Sheen Wall
Try painting your feature wall in the same colour as your other walls — but in a higher sheen. For example, Regal Select Matte on all walls, and Regal Eggshell on one.
The result:
- Soft, subtle contrast that feels sophisticated
- Beautiful in low-light living rooms
- Adds dimension without bold colour
📚 Why we use Regal Select for silky-smooth finishes
