6. Herringbone pattern

The herringbone pattern takes it's name from the herring, as it somewhat resembles fish bones. It's a little more elaborate than a chevron pattern, so you can play with color and space more.

7. Polka dots

9. Accent walls

BEHR Paints

Sometimes less is more, and in terms of walls, you don't have to paint them all ONE color. Accent walls are great if you want to call attention to a certain spot in your room, like a little nook, and pull attention away from your messy bed. (If that's your thing.)
