Accent walls

The debate continues on whether or not accent walls work. We believe that accent walls are a way to take a bolder color that one would not be comfortable in painting in a whole room. As designers we have a vision sometimes within seconds of seeing a space, and its taking that vision and marrying it to the clients style/taste/comfort. I cannot sing the praises of this practice more.
Today I recieved the latest issue of Stir from Sherwin Williams. There was an article that spoke to this continued debate.
People should not be afraid of color, accent walls bring a pop of color and dramatic flair in small doses. The colors do not have to "match" items, just be cohesive with whats going on in the space. People need to think outside the box of cookie cutter schemes.

And if you ever get bored, you can always repaint...
