Click through to chat accent walls with me. FYI- all of the images throughout this post provide great examples for alternative ideas. Did you already guess where I stand?
Highlight Architectural Elements with Paint
Setup Your Workspace
Paint your fireplace, try contrast trim, paint interior doors, fireplaces, range hoods, built-ins, a wall of cabinets, the backside of shelving etc.
Go Bold in a Small Spaces
Experiment with bold paint colors or wallpaper in smaller spaces like a closet, window nook, powder room, or hallway.
Go Bold in the Entire Room
Simply paint the entire room a bold color… you may be surprised just how much you like it! I’d take that over an accent wall any day.
All of these things can be considered “accents” that highlight and define certain vignettes within a space. Hopefully some of those bullet points will get your wheels turning.
