Home Décor Creative Accent Wall Ideas - Use Mirrors, Shelves, and Plants to Create a Cozy Interior If you want to add some softness and coziness to your accent wall, you can use fabric to cover it. You can use curtains, tapestries, or rugs to hang on the wall, or you can wrap fabric around cardboard or wood squares and attach them to the wall in a grid or random pattern. You can also use fabric to display your heirlooms, such as quilts, blankets, or scarves.
