Feature walls are a handy way to save on a wallpaper design you love but can't afford to carry around the whole room. Unfortunately, this clever accent tool can easily look dull and dated when done wrong. However, interior expert Sophie Robinson has a trick to make sure your feature wall ideas always look fresh and modern.
Sophie Robinson is a colour queen with 20 years' experience as an interior journalist, author and presenter. When I was invited to see the new Harlequin collection she's designed in situ at her home, every room was bursting with mood-boosting colour. There wasn't a traditional feature wall in sight, but the interior pro pointed out that for anyone not as brave as her with their wallpaper ideas, a feature wall is a great option.
