Accent walls

 Accent Walls...

Have you ever wanted to spice up your room and you don’t have a lot of extra money? You just wanted to change the feel of the room.

You can create a piece that stands with a few coats of paint. Make your room pop with a bold new color on one of your walls. You will want it to be bold so that it can catch anyone’s eye as they enter the room.

I have been in rooms that created emotions without me even recognizing it. I was in a house that had mainly tan walls with an accent wall of a bold blue putting me at peace; I was even in a kitchen with a red wall that made me hungry the instant I stepped into it. Make sure the color matches the theme you have going on in the room. Color makes a huge difference in a room and it is relatively inexpensive in comparison to replacing all of your furniture or adding on a structure.

Lowes is an excellent place to find what you need. They even have helpful associates that can match any color you bring to them. You can see what the color looks like before you color the whole wall. I suggest a small test spot close to another wall that will not be painted. Lowes is helpful in offering suggestions for project ideas and their great prices help keep it within the budget. A good gallon of paint can range between 20 to 25 dollars. Paint brushes are reasonable as well at 10 to 30 dollars. They can assist you in finding the right one for you.
