How Would You Like to Paint Your Wall?

Many people like to paint their walls colors other than just white.

However, the next question will be: are you going to paint all the walls the same color or going to paint only a small amount of walls to be the selected color and include an accent wall?

Let’s first do some comparisons. If you decide to paint your whole house the same color, you probably need to be more careful. You will have less selections. The dark color series won’t do good because you do need to consider that they will make the whole space feel smaller and more condensed. If you want just an accent wall, your choice of the colors is way wider. The Accent wall is also more budget-friendly too. You could easily save the paint money and the labor cost if you are doing it yourself. An accent wall is also an easier and cost effective way to change a look of your home.

Here are some different examples of having an accent wall in your home.

There is so much light coming into the room, so it is safe to use a dark solid color on a small wall. There aren’t much decorations on the accent wall. It gives a clean looking of the whole area.

The first two examples are both dark color accent walls. Here is a bright yellow one which is definitely an unusual color in a house. It is a bit risky to pick such a bright color, but when you picked the right decorations to merge and soften it, it will totally be a spot to catch your eyes.
