With all the painting trends that have come and gone, one that has withstood the test of time are accent walls. Their acceptance is due to the need to have a focal point in every room to gravitate your eye to one spot or away from another. They can be an excellent way to experiment with color without having a serious commitment.

If you’re thinking about painting an accent wall in your house, a professional house painter can help with some comprehensive information to make sure your job is successful.

Why Should I Paint My Accent Wall?
An accent wall is a wall that is decorated in a different way than the other walls in the room and is typically painted a bold or bright color. Paneling, grasscloth, wallpaper, and any other materials can be used. It doesn’t matter which sort of application you select, the advantages of an accent wall are the same:
  • Make a room appear bigger
  • Bring visual interest and drama to a space
  • Delivers dimension and texture to your home

The Do’s and Don’ts of Accent Walls
An accent wall can be a great addition to any room in your home, and with unlimited choices for texture, color, and pattern they can work with practically any decor. Below are the do's and don'ts that will help to guarantee the finished product enriches the look and feel of your home.

Do's
  • Think Outside the Box
  • Explore your options to produce a distinct look using specialty finishes like brushed suede, metallic, or sandstone paint.
  • Walls with windows are okay. You have to be sure, though, that your choice of paint color can reflex or absorb incoming sunlight.
  • Carry your accent color throughout your residence with decorative items like rugs, art, pillows, and area rugs.

Don'ts
  • Don’t be scared of bold and vibrant colors
  • Choose a color that showcases your personality and makes you happy. Just be sure it doesn’t conflict with the overall style of your home or accessories.
  • Stay away from neutrals
