They\u2019ve become an incredibly popular trend in the decorating industry! Not only are they stylish and easy to create, but they\u2019re very flexible. You can make your accent wall as special as your home by choosing a unique color, shade, design, and material. Before moving forward with your project, here are some essential dos and don\u2019ts you should know about. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Think Beyond Solid Colors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing the paint color for your new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumpaintingplano.com\/interior-painting.html\">accent wall<\/a>, don\u2019t limit yourself to simple wall paint. Think outside of the box! Don\u2019t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. You can choose vibrant colors like pink or green and make strips or another fun pattern. You can even choose a specialty paint finish like metallic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget About Texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not add some texture to your wall? Using stone or tile can make a bold statement for your home. Even adding extensive shelving can do wonders for your room by creating architectural interest. You can also include a gallery of photos or artwork or a fabric-draped wall. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Create an Accent Wall in a Neutral Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re trying to keep your room neutral, adding an accent wall can give your space some much-needed pop. You can keep the room consistent by incorporating a dark brown accent wall. The impact would be just as dramatic as if it were bright red or blue paint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Just Think About Walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, an accent wall isn\u2019t just limited to your walls. You can make your ceiling pop by adding some color to it! This chic decorating trend has become all the rage in recent years. No matter what color you choose, be sure to pair it with white crown molding. It\u2019ll help separate the wall color from the ceiling, giving you the stylish look you desire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Choose the Right Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to be purposeful when choosing your accent wall. If your room lacks architectural features, you want to incorporate a textured accent wall to make it pop. Keep in mind that paint color affects mood, which is why you should do your research on the shade beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget About Wallpaper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallpaper is a great way to beautify your home without the commitment. There are several designs and colors to choose from! It\u2019s an excellent option for renters who want to personalize their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help creating your accent wall?
