Dulux colour consultant was in today to advise us on the type of paint and colour for our new place. And it got me thinking about Accent Walls.
???...hmmm???
An accent wall is one wall within a single room that is markedly different and more interesting than the other walls in the room. Be it painted or wallpapered. It's just different!
Accent Wall Basics
- The accent wall is usually the first wall that you see when entering a room.
- It can help to anchor or define a separate area within a larger space. For example, within a large, open-plan house, an accent wall can define a smaller area as being a reading area.
- The accent wall highlights a large focal point on or near that wall: TV, entertainment center, bed, fireplace, bookcase. Accent walls are rarely found floating around on their own.
- In most cases, an accent wall is a bold color (e.g., orange) against neutral walls (e.g., white). However...
- Another version of the accent wall is a vibrant shade against other walls of the same shade. For example, a rich orange against other, very pale orange walls.
- An accent wall doesn't mean you throw color coordination out the window.
- Don't forget that wallpaper and tile can also make an accent wall, not just paint.
btw, love the lamp, looks like a cowboy who just finished shooting someone!
