Today’s topic is all about accent walls and their ability to transform a space into a showstopper! With a multitude of designs and creativity, any wall can be made into a one of a kind look that ties in the cohesiveness of any room. When deciding on an accent wall, you want to keep in mind the paint color, dimensions, and overall style of the home. Read more below.

Paint Color

When choosing a paint color for an accent wall, you want it to stand out from the other adjacent walls in order to truly make that wall POP. We have used moody, dark blues along with soft neutral tones in the past that have transformed hallway entrances as well as dining room walls into sensational spaces! And a PRO tip…Try and match the paint color to either something in the furniture, accessories, or lighting to make an even more cohesive look!

Dimensions

Overall Style

This is a crucial element when deciding on an accent wall in any room. Be sure to stick with your overall style in your home in order to make each room flow. If your home is modern and sleek then opt for a darker shades, but if your home is bohemian and airy, then opt for more neutral tones. An accent wall should compliment the overall look of your home, not steer it in another direction!
