Explore accent walls with Columbia Paint Company.
When you want to refresh a room without committing to a full makeover, an accent wall is one of the easiest and most impactful upgrades you can make. By highlighting a single wall with a bold color, you can add personality, depth, and visual interest to your space, without overwhelming the entire room. Here are some bold paint ideas from Columbia Paint Company to help inspire your next project.
Deep, Dramatic Colors
Rich hues like navy blue, charcoal, emerald green, or even a moody plum can create a striking focal point. These colors work especially well in bedrooms, living rooms, or home offices, where they can add a sense of coziness and sophistication.
Warm, Inviting Shades
If you want your accent wall to feel welcoming, try warm tones like terracotta, burnt orange, or mustard yellow. These shades bring energy and warmth, making them great for spaces where you gather with family and friends, such as dining rooms or kitchens.
High-Contrast Neutrals
Neutrals don’t have to be boring—think bold black, crisp white, or a deep taupe. High-contrast accent walls can make architectural details pop and pair beautifully with modern or minimalist décor.
Two-Tone or Color Blocking
Why settle for just one color? Divide your accent wall into sections with different shades or finishes to create a unique, graphic effect. This technique works wonderfully in kids’ rooms, creative studios, or contemporary living spaces.
Highlighting Architectural Features
Accent walls don’t always have to be flat. Use your bold paint choice to highlight built-in shelves, fireplaces, or alcoves. This draws the eye toward unique features and gives them extra visual weight.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Accent Walls
- Choose the right wall: Typically, the wall behind a bed, sofa, or fireplace makes the best statement.
- Balance with décor: Keep surrounding walls and furniture more neutral so your accent wall can shine.
- Test your color: Always use a sample before committing, since lighting can dramatically change how a color appears.
Whether you go moody, vibrant, or minimalist, a bold accent wall can completely transform a space—making it feel refreshed, intentional, and uniquely yours. Work with Columbia Paint Company today to find your dream paint colors and all the tools you need to get started.
