Accent Walls Jazz Up Your Style

Accent walls jazz up your home’s style! We love how a simple, burst of color enhances the design of a space. Accent walls bring a strong design statement to any room in your home. It is a fun way to maintain an edited and sophisticated look. The pop of color or texture catches the eye while the overall look of the space remains clean and uncluttered.

Paint color remains as one of the most cost-effective techniques to punch up your space. However, you must be intentional when choosing this color as it will be the focal point or an aspect of the focal point of your room. Even if you choose a neutral color for your accent wall, be aware of the color’s undertone and temperature. Some paint colors will have a blue or gray undertone,while others have a yellow or red undertone. Paint colors also have temperatures-some colors have a warm temperature while others lie at the cool end of the spectrum. Temperature and undertone of your accent walls will affect the look of your room and the flow of your design if they are not chosen carefully.

You can also create an accent wall with a faux finish. The Larkin Painting Company specializes in creating gorgeous faux finishes for accent walls. This finish technique has roots in the trompe l’oiel (“fool the eye”) art technique. We have created faux suede and other finishes for our clients. We can also create faux finishes with metallic paints or plaster techniques.

Stencils are another great accent tool.  We have used stencils to add color and create a pattern for accent walls. Colors, if chosen correctly, can be bright and vary in hue. We have created bubble, stripe and circle stencils, as well as very complicated bee stencils. Each stencil style created beautiful and unique design patterns. Our clients were delighted with each project.

Some clients forgo paint for their accent walls, choosing to instead use wallpaper. Wallpaper has come a long way in home fashion. Top-rated wallcovering manufacturers such as Farrow and Ball, Ananbo, Cole & Son, Grow House Grow (based in Brooklyn, NY), and Calico create some of the most sumptuously beautiful wallpapers we have ever seen.

Accent walls are not limited to the walls, you can also jazz up a space with accent ceilings. We have used patterns and also a single paint color for various projects. Some clients have chosen to use a bold wallcovering for a ceiling. The effect is stylish and on trend. Metallic paint and bold patterns create beautiful and unique design statements.
