A Dinstinctive Accent - How to create an accent wall


Lighting, architecture, and furniture all play a role in a good accent wall.
An accent wall is a great way to add life, personality, and focus to any room. But sometimes it can be hard to imagine how the space will look when you’re finished.

Here are some ideas that will help you define your vision and add “pop” to any space.

Get Inspired.
We all have different styles and tastes. Search the Internet, magazines, or even look to nature to find the colors and styles that appeal to you. Start a collection of pictures that you like and you can refer to them whenever you need ideas or inspiration.

Get Focused.
Accent walls are a natural point of focus. Start thinking about the architecture and décor of the room. Does the sunlight hit a certain wall during the day? Is there a piece of furniture that you’d like to showcase – such as a bookshelf or armoire? Do you have a family picture or fireplace that naturally has prominence in the room? In bedrooms, for instance, the headboard is a natural focal point. Choose the wall the headboard is on as the accent wall.

Get The Big Picture.
Remember, it’s not just about paint – it’s about the room as a whole. When you’re making color choices, think about things like the color and style of your furniture, and the lighting of the room. In the end, it all adds up to what your room will “feel” like.

Get Advice.
Every Paint 4 You customer is offered free color and room consultation. We find the advice of a décor and color professional often helps homeowners formalize their thoughts and gets the vision going. So don’t be afraid to ask for the advice of experts when you’re creating your new room. It’ll give you the confidence you need to be happy with the finished product.
