An accent wall can be a great addition to any room, as the simple addition of this feature can add depth, texture, and interest to your home. Whether you want to make a bold statement or introduce something that is more subtle, taking this step can be an effective way to transform your surroundings. Plus, designing an accent wall can be a fun and creative process.

Here at Speas Interior Design, our dedicated specialists are happy to help you think about upgrading your residence this year. In this blog, we will explore a few things you should remember before you begin.

Consider the Surroundings

One of the most essential things when designing an accent wall is thinking about the other colors that exist within the space. You will often want your accent wall to complement the color palette. By looking at the entirety of the space, you can ensure that your new focal point won’t work against the other colors and clash with them.

If you are looking for inspiration, think about using a contrasting color. For example, a vibrant red against a beige could create a dynamic look. Choosing a color that stands apart from your interior walls can have the effect you are likely striving for during this makeover. Of course, if you are hoping to achieve a monochromatic effect, using a darker shade of the same color could also work.

Keep Mood in Mind

As we all know, different colors can evoke different emotions. This is especially true when it comes to the colors that you bring into your home. A warm orange can create an inviting atmosphere, while a blue will go a long way regarding calmness and tranquility.

For extra guidance or advice during this process, consider working alongside one of our specialists. As we are a full-service interior design center, we can offer any assistance needed at any point. For instance, if you are debating whether a red or orange is the right color for a kitchen, we can quickly put our expertise to good use as we discuss the possibilities.

Think About Texture

The last thing we wanted to highlight in this blog is the effectiveness of texture. While you can, of course, repaint a wall to serve as an accent wall, there are other ways to make the specific space stand out. Texture on walls adds more variation to an otherwise flat wall. Whether you want something rustic or contemporary, you can easily find something to fit your vision.
