Are you ready to revamp your home but you don’t want to put in excessive amounts of work or time to do it? Then a great solution may be adding an accent wall to a part of your home. Accent walls offer the “pop” of color that your home may desperately need to shake things up a bit. Once you’ve decided to paint an accent wall, keep reading below for some of our tips!

• Think outside the box. Get creative. Choosing the right wall to apply a rich shade to is just as important as painting the wall itself. Different walls may be subject to differing amounts of light which can alter the color of your paint—sometimes dramatically.

Don’t be afraid of color.  The whole point of an accent wall is to help tie the room together. It is not meant to stand alone, but to add visual interest to your preferred space. Consider your home’s overall aesthetic and choose colors that complement it.

Consider your design.  Are you looking to do an entire wall of color, or do you have something more specific, like a design in mind? Pinterest is an excellent resource for getting the creative juices flowing.

Pick your color.  So, you’ve decided what wall you want to paint and consider your home’s décor, and now it’s go-time. Pick several colors you think will look great, purchase some samples, and test them out.
