A wood slat accent wall is a simple DIY that really pops! Get this gorgeous modern look and transform any room for about $15!
Apparently, paint isn’t good enough.
Not anymore.
Nor is wallpaper, for that matter.
I guess the problem is that paint and wallpaper are just too…too…two dimensional, ya know?
I know, I know, when it comes to wall coverings and colorings, we’ve lived in perfect harmony with 2 dimensions since the dawn of time. Don’t get me stared on textured walls – I know they are technically 3-D, but I’m ignoring their existence for the moment. But in this age of Instagram, Pinterest and the burning need to out-Jones the rest of the universe, the DIY set have been throwing whatever they can against their walls to up the interior design ante and show the world just how fabulously three dimensional they are.
Perhaps you think I’m kidding about the whole “throw a bunch of shit against the wall and see what sticks” thing (well, duh, I kid about pretty much everything), but this time I’m totally serious as well! I remember a few years back, someone chopped up some old chairs and stuck the pieces to a wall. If that weren’t enough, someone else sliced a few chairs in half and hung the half chairs on a wall! And if that’s not 3-D enough for you, another intrepid soul said, “Half chairs? Pffft! Hold my beer!” and then proceeded to hang a series of whole chairs on the wall.
Because 2-D is for troglodytes.
3-D is where it’s at!
I can’t even walk by a wall anymore without thinking, you know what that wall needs? You know what would make that wall really stand out from all the other loser walls?
Another freaking dimension!
So of course, with this young adult bedroom makeover in full swing, my babes thought his room would be the perfect place for me to try my hand at converting the wall behind his bed into something a little more…three dimensional.
And hey, if my babes wants The Boy to have a multi-dimensional accent wall, who am I to say no?
