How a Statement Wall Transforms Your Living Room | 3 Ways to Create a Focal Wall
Feb 5, 2026
A well-designed living room always has a quiet anchor.
In this video, I explore how statement walls shape the feeling of a living room, drawing inspiration from The Great Gatsby, where expressive backdrops, texture and scale guide emotion and atmosphere. These interiors show us that a focal wall is not decoration for its own sake, but a design decision that brings clarity and intention to a space.
Living rooms feel more inviting and complete when there is a clear visual centre. This is often the difference between a room that looks styled and one that feels lived in.
If your living room feels almost right but not quite resolved, a focal wall is often the missing piece.
