Throw Up An Accent Wall

Bare walls are boring! Reinvent a blank space with a special mosaic tile or unique wood planks. You can draw attention to one point of the room by adding an accent wall, and you can even use accent walls to show off other features like tall or vaulted ceilings. This room features high-variation Dimensions Ancient Pine Easy Stick Wall Plank in what would be an otherwise blank wall in the bedroom.

For grout colors that match different hues of tile, Mapei has several colors of their Ultracare Grout Refresh for you to choose from.
