Painting an accent wall can be the perfect way to add a dose of colour or dimension to your Toronto home or condo’s interior. With the trend only becoming even more popular in 2021, we’re sharing a collection of tips that will help draw inspiration for you.
Painting an Accent Wall Best Practices
Read our top tips for painting an accent wall below, so that you can decide on the style you want for your space.
Paint Bold Colours
Don’t be afraid to go big with colour. We love the dark colour trend like navy, dark forest green, or even black. Or, if you prefer lighter tones, you can still experiment with colour. Lighter toned colours fit perfectly well on a standalone wall and can create just as much of a dramatic effect as a bold, dark tone.
Colour Block Painting
Interested in incorporating more than one colour when painting an accent wall? Perhaps, it’s time for you to colour block. Colour blocking can take your colour scheming to a whole new level: it’s a bold interior trend that turns traditional rooms into something spectacular.
When it comes to colour blocking, we recommend using the paint (and the colours) to create a focal point. Instead of using a dramatic piece of wall art, create an area of interest by painting a section of the wall a darker shade, and then increase its impact by painting the other section a slightly lighter shade. This will create dimension and intrigue to a room without the need of buying expensive statement furniture.
Paint a Statement Ceiling
Why have four walls when you can have five? Painting a statement ceiling can bring forth a whole new dimension to your interior. Dress up your ceiling with patterns and textures on a white or muted tone, or go even further by having a strong paint colour overhead, particularly in a small office space or bathroom where more impact can be made.
Paint Your Paneling
Adding paneling and painting it is a great way to add interest and dimension to a rather plain wall. It also makes an ideal canvas for some colour. While painting your paneling white or another neutral tone is a timeless touch that can easily elevate any space, you could also consider painting small sections of that paneling with one or two bold colours or shades.
