Gallerie Dcor Soho Accent Chest, Blue RealWorld Accent lighting and accent color are important aspects of your home decor. No matter what your color preference is, a touch of bright color in your home can be use to accent a particular area in a room, or simply to brighten up your life. Here are some ways in which you can use accent color and accent lighting to turn an ordinary room into something special.Living Room Home DecorThe home décor used in a living room tends to be fairly conventional. This is not always the case, but if you visited 10 homes, you would likely find their living rooms to be furnished traditionally as opposed

Accenting a wall involves special considerations.  If the color is dark, use a tinted primer beforehand. Also, the accent wall’s sheen – semi-gloss, for example – should match the primaries’. You’ll want to paint some test patches to see how the color looks once it’s dried. If it’s to your taste, proceed with confidence. Remember that the typical paint can covers about 350 square feet; make sure to measure your wall (length times width, folks) before you buy.

You can achieve a striking contrast between your accent and primary walls even if their colors are related. If the room has light green primaries, a green that’s two or three shades deeper might make a splendid accent color. Another neat trick: Painting the ceiling, that frequently overlooked “fifth wall,” a lighter shade of the accent color makes it seem higher. In contrast, making the high ceiling of your dining room a dark shade like, say, Pompeiian red gives the space a snug, enclosed feeling.

Some accent walls are intended to radiate a certain kind of energy. A bright orange wall could imbue a room with sunny vibes, while a pink wall might cast a peaceful, calming spell. Like a vertical rug, an accent wall can deftly spotlight a particular part of a room, such as a reading corner or dining space. If the room in question is oblong, the farthest short wall from the door is the best to accent. Once painted, that wall will appear closer, thus visually adjusting the room’s shape.
