Adding the Ideal Accent Wall

By Katherine Fotinos November 07, 2012

An accent wall is the wall in a room with a different design than the other three. It can either be a different color, usually a darker shade, or standout yet complimentary print or pattern. Decoist has some original accent walls for our inspiration as well as useful tips to keep in mind when recreating the look. The wall should be fun and unique, but still chic and tasteful. Keep in mind that the point is to create an ambience that suits your decor choices and style personality. Not sure what you’re design persona is? Find your fall home decor horoscope here.
