Why Feature Walls Matter in Nigerian Homes

A feature wall is more than decor—it’s a statement:

• Visual Impact: A bold wall draws the eye, perfect for Lagos’ cozy living rooms or Abuja’s open-plan spaces.

• Climate Durability: Paints must resist Lagos’ 80%+ humidity or Kano’s dusty heat.

• Cultural Flair: Colors and patterns reflect Nigeria’s heritage, from Yoruba reds to Igbo greens.

• Versatility: Feature walls suit any room, from Kano bedrooms to Port Harcourt dining areas.

A 2025 survey found 86% of Nigerian homeowners want to add feature walls but need guidance on design and paint choices. Here’s how to create yours with Prestige Paint Nigeria.
