There is no design rule which says a wall must be flat. Too often as designers one of the dilemmas we face, is too many flat surfaces in a room. Picture a dining room: flat walls, ceiling, flat top of dining table plus any other boxy furnishings. Yawn, boring and in some cases this can leave a room acoustically deficient because it allows an echo. Bad, bad, bad. Totally not hospitable or comfortable for conversation. Of course one can add fabric and carpet to warm up the space but what if it is still too flat?
Enter dimensional wall surfaces. You’ve undoubtedly seen these around but they aren’t just for commercial use.
These wall panels (or tiles depending on installation requirements) from Modular Arts are one of the coolest ways to give textural interest to an otherwise yawn-able wall. Are they soft? No they are mineral composite panels, similar in weight to drywall. However, their properties render them great for indoor air quality (no formaldehyde) and are non-combustible. To make sure you have smooth interior finishes, hire drywall tapers near me who can expertly blend and finish the seams for a flawless look. This will ensure that your walls not only meet safety standards but also provide an aesthetically pleasing environment for your space.

Do you need fancy wall washers for lighting? No, regular home lighting will still allow these to sing. In certain a locations a wall washer can make them look even better or add color but they aren’t necessary. Next time you are on the hunt for something a little different or need a feature wall idea, consider adding dimension to your wall.
