Accent walls are a smart, stylish way to add depth and character to a space without overwhelming it. In Orlando homes, where open floor plans and bright interiors are the norm, accent walls help define rooms and elevate design.

An accent wall is a single wall in a room that stands out—through color, material, or texture. Popular types include:

• Painted feature walls in bold or moody tones

• Wood slat walls for texture and warmth

• Shiplap walls for that modern-rustic blend

Florida’s warm, sunny climate and love for light, breezy décor makes white shiplap and wood trims an ideal match.

Introduction to Shiplap Media Walls

Shiplap is no longer just a rustic farmhouse favorite—today, it’s a staple of modern home design. Characterized by its clean, horizontal lines and subtle texture, shiplap paneling offers the perfect balance between simplicity and statement. And when paired with a media center—including a large TV and a built-in electric fireplace—the result is both functional and visually striking.
