Aside from being a decorative cover-up, 3D wall panels could offer soundproofing and insulation. Homes with classic interiors can suit well with accent walls made out of 3D wall panels. Draw inspiration from sample 3D Wall Panels below from Vancouver Wood Carving Inc.

Aside from 3D panels, wood wall panels can also make a beautiful accent wall. Shabby chic interiors, contemporary style, and retro designs are best paired with this type of accent wall. See accent walls from 3D Wood Panels - Burnaby and The Eco Floor Store - Surrey for more exciting ideas.

Wallpaper and Murals

Easy to apply and remove. With this type of accent wall, the wall can be easily transformed from one design to another--from rustic, wooden, cottagecore-inspired wallpaper to eco-friendly lush green or floral designs.

Get the floral wallpaper above from Benjamin Moore.

If you want to tone down from accent walls with bold prints to one that imbues subtleness and elegance, you may try some Chinoiseries-designed wallpapers on a living room and bedroom from Griffin & Wong - Vancouver.

Aside from wallpapers, murals can make wonderful accent walls too. Nature or famous world sceneries are often favored for murals, but trying abstract and optical illusion-based designs could work well. Check out the following designs by MUZE Wall Design & Painting - Vancouver.

Displaying a substantial piece can also turn a simple wall into a magnificent one. Studio G3 Glass from Port Coquitlam could be one of the most accessible providers of masterpieces for collectors who have a single-family home in Tricity and Burnaby.

Tile

Due to the plethora of styles and sizes available in the market, crafting accent walls out of tile is now more attainable. Turn that monotonous wall into an incredible focal point by simply adding a highly-recognizable backsplash along one wall that stretches to the ceiling.
