Accent Walls

Love bright colors but afraid to put them on your walls?  Try an accent wall!  This gorgeous living room gets the perfect dose of orange with a bright orange accent wall. The fireplace wall is the perfect choice for a punch of color.  The decorative molding and starburst mirror as well as strategically placed vases lend scale and balance. Notice how the orange cushions and coffee table bring the color into the room.

This silver and gray Venetian plaster finish on the far wall draws the visitor in to this contemporary office lobby.  It lends visual interest to an otherwise stagnant space and makes an important first impression for the company.

How about a mural on a feature wall?  This tree shadow mural was painted with flat black paint and glossy black paint for a "silhouette" effect.  This upstairs hallway/catwalk in the open floor plan post and beam contemporary is open to the great room below.  A set of double doors painted gloss black in the entry ties in the wall and wrought iron chandelier.

Painting the wall behind your bed a deep color can make the bedroom feel cozy and warm without turning it into a cave.

How about an accent wall as art? Love this idea of using reclaimed shutters! Simply beautiful.
