Accent Color Walls

Do you have any accent color walls in your house?

I have a small olive green accent wall in my entry and living room area. I painted it myself several years ago when I repainted the living room. I like it!

Here are some accent walls I found online. I like all of these. I like the way the accessories tie in with the accent color.

yes I love them. I have a few in my home.

When I had my family room professionally painted (vaulted ceiling etc I'm too old for climbing scaffolding like I used to) the painter wanted to paint my accent wall. He doesn't like them. He said no one does them any more. I said no! leave it alone. This was years ago. Maybe they went away and are back again?

These are really well done and go perfectly with the furnishings. I am not a brown person but the first room is beautiful.

I don't like them - they typically make the room look smaller.

My living room and master bedroom are both a pale beigy pinky/peach. The long window wall in the living room and the wall with the headboard in the bedroom are both a darker mauve, the exact color our Sandia Mountains become at sunset most nights.

I am not a fan of accent walls. I think they make the room look smaller.

I've always liked accent walls done in paint or grass cloth is beautiful and gives wonderful texture. I don't think grass cloth would be advisable if the owner had a cat!

Grass cloth brings a whisper of nature in.

My oldest DD has a blue accent wall in her bedroom with the remaining walls being white. It looks very much like picture #3 that you posted. Youngest DD has a hot pink accent wall in what used to be her playroom.

In the seventies when my sister and I had our apartments we had accent walls. She had a brown color like the first picture and I chose a dark blue like the walls in the bedroom picture. The rest of our respective apartment walls were white.

I loved the look and at the time not many people did accent walls. Seeing these pictures I still find the accent walls appealing but have not done any room in that style since the seventies.

No, I don't have one. Those pictures show how lovely they look when done right.

I love all of these rooms - accent walls look really good in these pics. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, in many rooms!

MB - Sweet Rosy Brown accent - walls and ceilings are some sort of beigy/gray/off white )I mixed left over paints together.

Bdrm2 - a turquoise accent (like the one shown above) with canvas (beigy off-white color) on other walls and ceiling.

LR - sort of like a dull copper LNL lid, more sedated though* with gray walls and white ceiling. +hard to explain the color - I pulled it out of the brick fireplace which is opposite this wall)

Attic consists of den/office area which is Pashmina and Bdrm3 is a pale gray - again ceilings in each room match wall color; the wall separating these room is some color white, but only on the den side - so guess that counts?

Laundry room downstairs (celr) is a very deep purple c olor (tapenaude, I think) and the other three walls are a muted orange - washer and dryer are silvery blue.

Those are the only acent walls I've done.

Sounds pretty gross, I guess, but doesn't look bad at all!

I did with previous redecorations but this last time around I didn't do any accent colors. I kept it more simple this time.

They all look very nice .. but, of course, I choose pic 2. Has the colors I love & is nice & bright.

I'm surprised at myself for liking pics 1 & 4, not usual color choices I'd go for. Whomever designed these, used great contrasting furniture & pops of color choices.

No, I have no accent walls, but none of my rooms is white either.
