Accentuate with Accent Walls
Accent walls make a lot of sense these days for several reasons. For one you can save on costs and time by adding some pizzazz to only one wall. Additionally, an eye-popping accent wall can have a bold pop of color(s), large bold prints, or fantastic texture, and typically you wouldn’t want to have these options on all four walls of a room. It would be too busy!
Wallpaper installed on one wall can really add the “wow” factor to a room as shown in these photos below. Additionally, wallpaper is much easier to strip these days once you’re ready to redecorate.

Next in line cost-wise comes wall decals, which are basically vinyl pieces applied directly to the wall. These are very easy to remove once you want to change the look, however they can’t be reused after you pull them off the wall…

Another great accent wall option is using a stencil or combination of stencils. Stencils take a bit more work and patience, but the expense falls on the lower end…

Don’t know my password, if I have one, to “like,” so will just say here, I like. It’s nice you see you favor Benjamin Moore, too. Ralph Lauren has some especially good colors.
Thank you Dorothy. Yes, Benjamin Moore has great quality paint as well as color selection!
It is amazing how much paint colors can change a room! The room with the green accent wall and the black couch is stunning. One of the biggest transformations I saw using wall art was in a finished basement with no windows. I have always felt like I was in a cave if I was in a basement with no windows, but it came out beautiful. It was one large room, painted an off white with white trim and on one wall had a scenery painted on it. As you walked down the stairs, it was the largest wall that greeted you. It was an outdoor scenery painting with greens, yellows, blues, pinks etc… all the pretty colors of Spring. It made the room so uplifting and bright.
Murals are great for that as well!
