feature wall

Highlighted room wall

A feature wall is a single wall in a room given distinctive treatment—bold paint, wallpaper, stone, or other materials—to create visual interest and draw the eye.

The concept emerged in interior design to add drama without overwhelming a space: We're thinking of making the fireplace wall a feature wall.

Also called an accent wall.
