The Power of Accent Walls

Incorporating an accent wall can help define different parts of a room and their purpose. 

Unlike other interior designs that come and go, accent walls have stood the test of time. When done correctly and on the right wall, they provide a fresh look without the need to repaint the entire house. As such, homeowners who prefer changing their home's look occasionally can bet on accent walls to give them the versatility of trying new design ideas. Consider the following impacts that accent walls have on a room. 

Minor alterations, big impact

Ideally, the best home renovation project takes a short time to finish, costs less, and gives the appearance that a homeowner had in mind. While every accent wall project is different, completing the job and giving the house a new look doesn't take much time. 

Bringing organization into a room

Besides improving the aesthetics, an accent wall provides practical benefits. Most homeowners barely use a room for a single purpose. For instance, apart from using the living room for watching TV, it might also have a study area in one corner. Incorporating an accent wall can help define different parts of a room and their purpose. 

Creating an illusion of a large space

Accent walls are handy when a room feels too small, but choosing the right color is key. Using dull colors can make the place feel more cramped. Conversely, bright and glossy paints help the wall reflect light and visually expand the space. Moreover, they create a feeling of airiness and openness. 

Emphasizing architectural features

Architectural designs in a home can showcase the homeowner's style and taste. But if the theme color of a house doesn't complement features such as artwork, alcoves, fireplaces, and built-in shelves, their glory might diminish. In this case, painting the wall behind these design elements with a suitable color can make them easily noticeable. 

Giving a first impression

Vibrant colors, textures, and patterns draw the eye to the accent wall. When designed properly, these walls add depth to a room. Moreover, the colors used can evoke specific moods and emotions. For instance, warm colors can give a sense of hospitality and comfort, leaving visitors with a memorable impression.

Experimenting with different design options

As new interior designs emerge, homeowners' tastes also keep changing. Instead of overhauling the entire home to pave the way for a new design, homeowners can only modify one wall. As such, accent walls provide a low-risk option for trying different designs without committing to costly renovations. 

Accent walls don't disappoint 

Adding accent walls in a house comes with many benefits that go beyond the decoration. However, it's worth remembering that choosing the right colors and patterns for these walls might be easier said than done. Calling a professional painter can go a long way in bringing out the desired look.
