Are you a little bored of your current decor and want to make a change but not do anything too drastic? An accent wall can transform a room, and all you have to do is paint one wall, so it’s perfect if you’re on a budget, tight for time, or looking for something more subtle than redecorating the whole room. As accent walls have risen in popularity, your options to create a feature wall have continued to evolve. From new color ranges to specialist paint finishes, there’s never been more choice. If you’re planning an accent wall of your own, here are three things to consider ahead of calling in an interior painting expert.

3 Tips to Successfully Paint an Accent Wall

1. The Wall

Do you know which wall is going to be the star of your interior painting project? There may be an obvious candidate – maybe the wall a fireplace is on, or one on which you have your television secured – or you might have a unique take on it and paint the arch into another room or around a set of patio doors. Whichever wall you go for, remember it will automatically draw the eye of anyone who enters, so make sure you’re happy with what your guests will be looking at.

2. The Color

When it comes to an accent wall color, the world is your oyster. Do you go for a complete contrast to the rest of the walls and choose something at the opposite end of the color spectrum? Do you stick with the color the rest of the room is painted in but a different shade? You might even like to go with a color that features elsewhere in the room (think your favorite rug or lamp). 

3. The Feature

If you want an accent wall, people will talk about, don’t just paint it – make it spectacular. There many special paint effects you can get nowadays, including paint that looks like suede and denim or dries with a patent or matte effect. Why not add gilt rubbing or embellish with metal studs or paneling? You can have so much fun turning your wall into a work of art, so let your imagination run wild.
