I stenciled a wall and it looks great. https://www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/2020/04/how-to-stencil-a-bathroom-wall.html
I love using funky wallpaper to create unique accent walls. And if you don't want to bother with the glue+water mess of traditional wallpaper, use the temporary/removable kind!
DONT KNOW
You can have a lot of fun with an accent wall - choose one wall in a room that you want to be different from the others. You can paint it a different color, or use wallpaper on it, or even use something like this peel and stick reclaimed wood to put up on a wall! https://amzn.to/34PVnBE
Hi! maybe this will help

Hi! Paint is the easiest. Stencils take some patience and a little practice. Practice on canvas or cardboard before starting so you get a feel for it. Shiplap takes a few skills such as cutting the sections of wood, using a level and a nail gun or hammer. Popular on a lot of DIY shows recently, have been color blocking on a wall. Showing my age, it reminds me of the sixties. Basically you make a geometric design with painter's tape, like rectangles, squares and triangles. Then, you paint colors in each of those blocked areas. You can also use paint and molding for a wainscoting look. What do you like? Good luck and stay safe!
You could wall paper it
Wallpaper, paint, or shiplap are very easy ways to create an accent wall. Dramatic lighting and decor can also be used.

That's an involved answer for sure. It depends on what you're looking to do, what room this is, how much light the room gets....you can paint it, wallpaper it, add artwork or a gallery wall, the list is long. It depends on your taste and what goal you have in mind.
Hi Paula,
Paint it or Wallpaper or Clad it or hang pictures etc.
