Or, would that be too busy because of the architecture, and I should just paint the entire thing gray, and have navy bedding, etc. My son wants to paint his room a bright blue but has this obsession with doing an accent wall. What is your opinion on doing sort of a reverse accent wall?
Any info would be appreciated!! How about a red or dark gray to go with that bright blue? I think something with a similar intensity would be a better bet. The wimpy white wall was actually being used for random quotes in a similar blue color but he does not know this yet. I have just told him I have something to put on the wall that represents his personality. I live in a small condo where the dining room and living room share one big space on the first floor.
You enter into a small hallway from the front door. I want to color all the walls asparagus green BEHR paints , but am wondering if I should have an accent wall. If so I am not sure which wall to pick…since there are no seemingly interesting features in any of the walls. There is one huge blank wall that connects both the dining and living room area. Please advise. Going with asparagus green for the downstairs bedroom would also like suggestions on what to color the stairwell wall which is to the right of the small hallway.
The stairs lead to a hallway upstairs. I am also wondering if I should color the stairwell wall and the upstairs hallway the same color, since one does lead into the other. Colors that might pair nicely with an asparagus green could be a vivid yellow not buttery or a blue on the green side.
We just bought a house and neither my husband nor I fancy ourselves as interior designers. But the idea of accent walls really caught our attention. Now, we love the red brick bit. But we hate the yellow. Is there a light colour that would go with red brick?
Hi there! Room size is 10 x 13 with a vaulted ceiling. The door is to the left of the room, as you walk in. The wall directly across from the door is window wall which is where my bed is placed. Wall to left is empty, while wall on right of room has built in storage, TV and closet. Highest point of vault ceiling is wall above door.
I might also consider installing a floating fireplace here. We have a very small house and I would like to paint my very small living room and maybe into the hall. My question is would it look weird to go from a red kitchen to a darker neutral color in the hall and living room? We just bought a new couch and it is a soft camel color. OR should I just do an accent wall where my fireplace is and do it a darker more brown color or I have some red left over form my kitchen.
Please help!!! There are many things to work on so am looking for your honest feedback, but first, re accent wall. I was thinking of painting my long window wall and accent wall, perhaps with a circle geometric pattern I saw, as well as the small wall opposite which is not pictured.
Thinking of going deep, deep, navy blue. I have silk, ivory-cream curtains that I could hang on that wall, and perhaps even the two windows flanking the bed.
One item I intend to purchase this year is an upholstered bed with tufted headboard in a pale fabric. You mention that the accent wall should be the bed wall, but am wondering since you walk into the room from the 40ft-long hallway to see the 3-window wall, can an exception be made in this case? I think that a dark color on all 4 walls would be a mistake, but am open to suggestions. I also love the idea of a chandelier over bed to replace ceiling fan.
So, please, help, help, help!!!! We were given bedding and curtains that I plan to use hence no say in the color choice but am struggling with the color. The colors on the bedding are cream and a dark, rosey pink color — the curtains are Waverly fabric check and the bedding is a toile. I found a color that seems to match well with the dark pink but I think it is too dark for the whole room. There is only one wall with windows so I am thinking of the wall with the windows in the dark pink and the rest in cream or a light pink.
Am I thinking through this correctly? Any ideas? Also if anyone knows a dark rosey pink or cream they love, please tell me!! Thanks for the help!! Laura, Instead of a wall to accent, have you considered painting the ceiling pink?
You could do a creamy neutral on the walls and pink on the ceiling. Make sure you use a darker or lighter pink that has similar undertones. Fireplaces and brick accent walls can. Share Tweet Share. Getting the Proper Attention. Choosing the Right Colors.
