Dunhill DIY: Primary Bedroom Accent Wall That Steals the Show 

A Luxe Statement Wall That Brings Texture, Depth & Designer Style to Your Retreat 

Your primary bedroom should feel like a sanctuary—stylish, serene, and uniquely you. That’s why we transformed this space in our Calhoun Acres model home with a dimensional accent wall that combines rich color, layered texture, and modern artistry. It’s bold, elegant, and easier to recreate than it looks. 

This is more than a paint job. It’s a DIY moment that turns a simple bedroom wall into a true focal point. 


🛠 What We Used: 

  • Rich, moody blue wall paint 
  • 3D wood panel molding or decorative wall tiles 
  • Nail gun or construction adhesive 
  • Caulk or wood filler (for seamless edges) 
  • Metallic wall art for a sculptural finish 

🔨 How We Created It: 

1. Painted the Back Wall 
We started with a deep blue paint to set the tone. The color adds sophistication and makes the lighter wood panels pop with contrast. 

2. Installed the Panels 
Using geometric-patterned wood panels (you can find similar styles at home improvement stores or online retailers), we attached them across the wall with a nail gun and adhesive. The repeating curved design adds movement and texture without overwhelming the space. 

3. Smoothed & Styled 
Once installed, we filled gaps with caulk and touched up any paint where needed. Then we added brushed gold floral wall art for extra dimension and a touch of glam. 


💡 Dunhill Designer Tip: 

If your bed is centered on the wall, keep symmetry in mind—line up your panel layout with the bed frame, and use matching nightstands and lamps for a polished finish. You can also paint the panels to match the wall for a subtler tone-on-tone look. 


🛏 Why It Works 

  • Adds texture and visual interest without needing full wall coverage 
  • Instantly elevates the room from builder-basic to boutique-hotel chic 
  • Can be customized to match your style—modern, classic, or even coastal 

At Dunhill Homes, we believe every room should have a little something special—and this painted headboard accent wall was the perfect touch to bring this space to life.
