Whether personalized picture walls or with a glittering effect – accent walls are one of the most popular living trends in 2021 and always provide a noble and incredibly beautiful glamor effect. Whether with a wall paint you have bought or a mixture you have made yourself – in this article we will tell you what options you have to paint the walls, which materials you need and what you should pay particular attention to. Let yourself be inspired by the many wonderful glitter wall paint ideas!
Whether in the bedroom or living room or even in the bathroom – the wall color with glitter provides a touch of glamor and luxury in every room. There are no limits to your imagination when choosing the color – but to ensure that the result does not look too kitsch in the end, we recommend that you take the rest of the room into account when choosing the color. For an optimal result, you should choose a color that stands out well from the current wall color. For example, if you use a silver glitter wall paint on white walls, multiple layers will likely be needed to achieve the desired effect. The dark colors such as black and gray come into their own particularly well. It looks most beautiful if you only add a glitter to one wall – this is how it is highlighted as a highlight.
Glitter wall paint – what options are available to you?
Would you like to spice up and refresh your apartment a little and find the glitter wall color really nice? The first thing you should think about is whether you want to mix the wall paint yourself or take a finished product from the hardware store. In the following, we reveal the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods.
- Finished wall paint from the hardware store is without a doubt the quickest and simpler variant – just open the can, paint the walls and you’re done! But the disadvantage of the finished mixture is that you don’t know how concentrated the glitter particles are – it may be that the result is hardly noticeable after the first coat of paint, but after the second coat your apartment looks like a small disco.
- Glitter additive for wall paint is a very inexpensive and easy way to achieve the glamorous look in your home. The additives are available in powder form and can be found in all possible colors. The disadvantage? If your furniture, doors and floor are not well covered, it is very likely that your whole apartment will shimmer afterwards.

In which rooms is the glitter wall color best shown?
Even if the wall color with glitter looks beautiful and breathtaking in itself, it is not suitable for every room. If you want to avoid the effect of a nightclub, we recommend that you limit yourself to just one wall. Golden and silver colors look particularly good in the living room and give the room that certain something. The nuances also improve the atmosphere in the hallway.
But it doesn’t always have to be gold and silver. In the bedroom, marine or soft pink also look fantastic. The colors radiate cosiness and give the room a feeling of romance and comfort.
The glitter wall paint is an excellent way to give a children’s room a shine and a slightly playful touch. There are no limits to your imagination when choosing colors. For a girl’s room, colors such as pink, green or even purple look very good. And gray, blue or even dark blue complement a children’s room for boys in a very cool and interesting way.
