One of the easiest and modern ways to update your living space is to add an accent wall. You might be wondering, how exactly to I add one? Or maybe, where is the best place in my home to put an accent wall? In this post, we are going to cover all the accent wall tips you\u2019ll need to liven up your interior. Certa Pro Bowie is your go-to consultant and installer for the best modern accent walls of all types.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. It Doesn\u2019t Have to be A Solid Color<\/strong> \u2013 Most often we think of an accent wall as a big, bright, bold, solid color. However, this doesn\u2019t always have to be the case. In addition, your new wall can be multiple colors, geometric patterns, have a unique border or striping, or have metallic paint for extra shine.<\/p>\n

2. Use Texture<\/strong> \u2013 Typically, people don\u2019t think about paint as having texture. Certa Pro painters can apply all types of texture to paint. Usually, texture isn\u2019t applied to paint but we can make an exception for accent walls. You can also add stone or tilework for texture. Just in case, you don\u2019t want a huge commitment you could use temporary wallpaper or hang up a gallery wall of your favorite photos.<\/p>\n

3. Try a Bold Color<\/strong> \u2013 If you usually go mostly conservative in your color selection, now is your chance to go BOLD. Pick out a complimentary bold color to your neutrals. Also, you could try picking a complete opposite color from what you have.<\/p>\n

4. Put One in a Neutral Room<\/strong> \u2013 However, these walls are great for rooms you wouldn\u2019t normally consider like a bathroom or a playroom. Even a dark accent wall in an office could turn into an instant classic. Also, kids’ rooms and basements can also feature accent walls with their favorite sports team insignia or memorabilia.\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Choose the Best Wall or Ceiling<\/strong>– the best walls are those that are unobstructed or have an architectural element. Don\u2019t forget about utilizing a ceiling as an accent wall as well. You can pick a wall with windows as your chosen wall but don\u2019t use too dark of color as it will provide too much contrast.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
