Getting It Right
Choosing the Right Wall
A good feature wall depends on the room, not just a favourite colour.
Pick a natural focal point
A fireplace, a bed headboard, a bookshelf, or an architectural feature.
Favour solid walls
Walls without doors or windows generally work best, though framing a feature window or doorway can work too.
Use it to correct room shape
Painting the short wall of an oblong room can make the space feel more balanced; painting the long wall emphasises its shape.
Check the room's other colours
A busy adjacent wall (large mirror, bold artwork) can compete with the feature wall instead of complementing it.
Colour
Feature Wall Colour Approaches
A few common approaches, depending on the mood you're after.
Bold contrast
A strong, saturated colour against neutral surrounding walls, for a dramatic focal point.
Tonal shift
A darker or lighter shade of the room's existing colour, for a subtler effect.
Textured or specialty finish
A different sheen or a decorative technique on the same colour, for depth without a strong contrast.
Earth tones and warm neutrals
A popular, safer option that complements most existing furnishings without overwhelming a room.

Reviews
What Our Customers Say
"We had Prolux painters complete a full house renovation, plus a new extension 2 storey! We were very impressed from start to finish — the setup, preparation, competitive pricing, tidiness of workspace and cleaning up. Vakeel and his team were fantastic."
"I initially found Prolux Painters online when I was searching for someone to paint my apartment. So glad I found Vakeel. The quality of the work they delivered is amazing. I cannot fault them in any way. Extremely professional, detailed, on-time throughout the job, clean and great value for money."
