Accent Wall Painting Ideas

Searching for some unique, unusual wall painting ideas? We’ve got plenty!

In this article you will find plenty of creative interior painting ideas and focal wall projects for every taste and every room in your own home!

In this post there are a few great non-traditional wall painting suggestions to take your accent wall painting project one step further and get your creative juices flowing.

Unexpected Places

Backsplash wall is a perfect place to put a highlight color on and liven up the entire kitchen.

The back wall of the built-in bookshelf painted in the contrasting color will highlight your books and accessories.

Do not forget about the fifth wall – your ceiling - it can be a point of interest, too! Utilizing a bold solid color or one of decorative painting techniques, you are able to transform the entire room and WOW everyone who enters the area.

Unusual Shapes

Split up the accent wall with wood strips and molding, and paint them in the trim color.

Draw a sizable geometric shape on the wall (square, rectangular, half-circle, etc), fill it with an accent color then outline it with strips of molding for the more finished look.

Leave a 20″ wide vertical gap of white space in the middle of your accent wall, then hang artwork down the middle.

Moving in a clockwise direction, paint 1/3 of one wall and 2/3 from the adjacent wall, wrapping the corner in an accent color. This cool trick will help you create an architectural emphasis where one doesn’t exist.

Dimensional Finishes

Rather than using regular paint and a solid color for painting your accent wall, try faux painting finishes like venetian plaster, antique crackle, stone imitations or denim.

Adding a mural on the accent wall can make the room come to life and definately will make a unique theme and mood in the room.
You won’t have to use paint in order to create an accent wall – wallpaper is a superb substitute for wall painting and is just like versatile and beautiful.

Decadent Colors
Think about a gold, silver or copper leaf finish for the feature wall - the end result could be breath-taking. A less expensive, faster and easier way is to use metallic paint - it will look subtler but will still put in a dazzle.

Among the list of boldest wall painting ideas (not for the faint of heart) is a black accent wall. Many people are scared of black color and think it’s going to look Goth and depressing. However when done right, a black accent wall will look absolutely stunning as well as fresh, positive and inviting. The answer to pulling off of the black is to keep the furniture, flooring and ceilings light.
