Q: What accent wall colors should I use?
A: Accent walls are a cheap, easy way to make your home feel brand new. It's not hard to learn how to paint an accent wall. The bigger challenge is choosing which wall to use as the focal point in your room. Some accents are bold, fun, and contrasting. Ohers quietly enhance the qualities of the room.

Picking The Right Room
Our first painting advice is to choose a room in your home with a plain shape and no interesting architectural features. Or, choose a room that you wish felt bigger - or more cohesive.
The accent wall will add interest to this room. It will draw the eye toward any furniture or objects that touch it, so choose a mostly bare wall to avoid overwhelming the room.
A cool-colored accent wall enlarges the area, while a warm color balances the feel of the room.
