In Malaysia, people usually use the fluted panels for television unit partitions when they are paired with the proper furnishings Or as a sliding door to hide the tv unit and wires behind. However, to break away from the monotony of wood, you can try adding a pop of colour inside the display cabinets.

Wallpapers are inexpensive and come in a wide variety

You may go for multiple styles and colors when it comes to wallpapers. Here, we’ve tried a geometrical pattern design with splashes of color. It is always in fashion and could make your room appear stunning.

Grainy texture paint is ideal to create this look

Ombre paintings make for a splendid concept for a feature wall. To get this accent wall for your room, you’ll need to have both light and dark shades of the same colour. You begin with the darker colour first and paint the wall in even strokes. Later, you begin blending it with the lighter color. You can either hire an expert to help you with this or you can do it on your own. All you need is a painting package with basic supplies like a paint roller, sponge and paint. You can both paint one wall or all of the partitions in a room, relying on what you like.

But given all of these constraints, this wall idea is extraordinary for all of those looking to add unique highlights at their home.
