Alissa Steinbrugg took to social media to show off her latest home transformation.
The DIY whizz revealed she wanted an accent wall but was sick of the wooden panelled ones that have become popular in recent years.
Instead, she decided to do something unique and used a set of sage green curtains on a pole to create a feature behind her bed.
She wrote: "This large wall needed something fun & I’m just kind of over the wood trim accent walls so I had to mix it up!"
The room was kitted out in other sage green furniture and clearly she thought the curtains would tie the whole room together.
She and her partner got to work by securing the curtain pole to the wall, she then tucked the curtains behind her bed frame.
For a final touch, she added a cream painting to the middle of the curtains to really emphasise the feature wall.
She asked followers: "Would you try this?"

But it seemed not everyone was a fan of her unique interior design idea.
Some claimed the curtains looked amazing, but she made it look 'tacky' once she added the wall art on top.
One person remarked: "It was all good until you hung up the photo on top of the curtains. Reduced it to tackiness."
Alissa responded: "Lol tacky might be a stretch..."
Another commented: "No thanks to each it’s own!"
"This looks very poor and cluttered," penned a third.
"Tacky idea but to each it's own," responded a viewer.
However, there were many who were inspired by her DIY creation and was willing to give it a go.
A fourth said: "I really like it!"
"That's pretty neat ngl,” claimed a fifth.
