Bold and Beautiful Accent Walls
As a homeowner, your walls are an invaluable tool of expression. While excessive detail on walls can easily become overwhelming, accent walls help forge some truly electrifying design elements. If incorporated correctly, an accent wall allows you to expertly spotlight a certain living area, timeless piece of artwork, or unique architectural feature.
Additionally, you can use accent walls to help establish more color flow by using the same color in furnishings, decorative pieces and fabrics. Or if you’re stumped when it comes to decorating your child’s room, you can let them pick their favorite color and create their own personal accent wall as a way to incorporate a brighter, bolder color without overwhelming the room.
Below, we’ll look at some great examples of how designers used accent walls to upgrade the style and decor of the following spaces.
