After taking down all the holiday decorations a couple weeks ago, I realized that our great room was looking STARK! Because we get a lot of light in that room and the walls are practically white with neutral decor, there was not a lot of color. So, I painted an accent wall to warm things up a bit.
Now, I really don’t like accent walls. I haven’t painted an accent wall in 15 years since our primary bedroom at the townhouse that we used in live in. But, because the wall that I wanted to paint was right next to the music room, painting this wall the same dark color as the music room made the great room cozier and also united the two rooms to make the overall house color scheme more cohesive. Remember, I like a cohesive house!
As an added bonus, the items that I used to style the console tables stand out more with a darker background. The items pop now!
