Yet, with endless colour options, deciding on the perfect hue can be daunting. Fortunately, with Haymes Paint, you’ll have everything you need to confidently decide on a feature wall that is as stunning as it is personal.

Why Create a Feature Wall

A feature wall isn’t just a trend, it’s a design technique that adds depth, character, and individuality to your room. Whether it’s in the living room, bedroom, or even a hallway, a well-designed feature wall becomes an instant focal point.

Feature walls are also cost-effective and flexible. They allow you to experiment with bold colours or finishes without committing to an entire room. And because they’re easy to repaint, you can refresh your look as styles or seasons change. With our extensive range of premium finishes and colours, the possibilities are endless.

Find the Perfect Colour for Your Wall

Choosing the right colour goes beyond aesthetics, it’s about creating the right mood for your space.

• Bold and Energetic: Shades like Viking, a dramatic, deep tone, or Peppy, a lively pink, inject energy and personality into a room. These colours are perfect for making a statement or adding warmth to social spaces.
• Soothing and Subtle: For a calm, restful atmosphere, consider soft tones like Dusty Beige or Kendall Rose. These hues work beautifully in bedrooms or tranquil living areas.

Your room’s purpose, lighting, and decor all influence colour choices. A bold colour might thrive in a sunny living area but feel overwhelming in a small, dimly lit bedroom. Take inspiration from existing elements like rugs, cushions, or artwork to choose a colour that harmonises with your space.

Make Confident Choices with Samples

Even the most carefully chosen colour can surprise you once it’s on the wall. Testing is essential to avoid any mistakes and ensure satisfaction.

• We offer sample pots, available online and in-store, to make testing simple. 
• We also offer A5 colour swatches for you to place it on the wall you’re considering.

Observe either the sample pot painted section or colour swatch at different times of the day to see how natural and artificial lighting affect the tone. This practical step gives you confidence in your choice before committing.

Instructional Steps: How to Paint a Feature Wall

These steps will help you learn how to do a feature wall with paint like a professional. 

Before you paint a feature wall, it’s important that you prepare the wall. Watch our how to prepare to paint video (below) that includes tips on how to patch, prime and mask off anything you don’t want paint over. 

1. Using premium quality Haymes paint, begin painting the feature wall at the edges and corners of the wall with a paint brush; this is called cutting in.
2. Use a paint roller and slowly paint the feature wall surface in a series of strokes that are roughly one metre square. We suggest this is done in a zigzag pattern to begin with before an up and down pattern. This ensures paint is evenly spread and helps to achieve a professional look.
3. Once the first coat of paint has dried, repeat the same application process for the second coat of paint.
