An electric fireplace accent wall is a popular and affordable room refresh for 2022. Modern farmhouse style continues to trend, with a colorful twist. Many interior designers and DIY home stylists are transitioning traditional white shiplap to warmer hues.

A colorful shiplap wall featuring a Touchstone electric fireplace adds a vibrant pop to your home. With just a can of paint, you can energize your entire space and establish your fireplace as the centerpiece of the room.

Shake Up the Shiplap Style

Shake up your style with a colorful shiplap fireplace wall and mirror. Mirrors also give the illusion that your space is bigger than it actually is - perfect for giving your home some breathing room.

Molly uses Sherwin Williams Iron Ore shade for her fireplace accent wall.
