Tips on Painting an Accent Wall

Is there a room in your house that just needs a little pizzazz, a pop of color, a wow factor? An accent wall will do the trick. An accent wall is a wall that is a wall that can be a different color, shade, material, or texture from the other walls in the room.

Ways to incorporate an accent wall in your Northwest Florida home:

1. Pop of color: Using paint, accent a neutral room with a brightly colored accent wall. White contrasted with a bright can sometimes be too stark. It’s best to pair with beige, greige, or any neutral in the same tone family. When paired with rich, dark brown, even beige looks terrific, or greige and dark gray. However, don’t be afraid to branch out with stunning vivid shades, too. Use popular color trends, the beautiful scenery of Northwest Florida to inspire your color selection, or talk with our local color consultants!
2. Designs: You can create designs when painting; consider stripes, bold or subtle patterns, geometric patterns, and other shapes. And don’t forget the beautiful designs wallpaper offers you.
3. Texture: Drape fabric onto the wall or add natural wood to the surface for a gorgeous texture. You can also hang a collage of photographs or shelving to create dimension and depth.
4. Fireplace: Add a wall-mounted fireplace to an accent wall to create a statement piece.
5. Ceiling: Consider the ceiling a possible accent wall; if used in a bright color and paired with white crown molding, it will be visually stunning.
