My favorite colours for using in interior design are dark colours. I think having dark accent walls are very nice. Having dark purple, blue or red are very strong. Having a strong dark accent wall gives the room a direction. With the smaller and lighter peices around the room the dark wall really stands out. With dark blue it would be good for a bedroom. A can always picture a boys bedroom being painted dark blue. With reds it would be great for a couples room. It would be very romantic and seductive. Painting the whole entire room with dark colours would be to dark and sad. With the accent dark colour it gives the room a focus point.
With the red, purple or blue you can also have many other accent colours. Pinks or beiges would go very well with the dark purples as well with something black. With the red room anything light pink and light would be good. With having a dark blue room white or yellow or orange would go very well.

Accent walls are usually pretty popular! Sometimes more than others but they never really go 'out' of style. Well, maybe the colour goes 'out' of style but the accent wall itself is usually a good idea ;) Plus it's a pretty cheap way to add some style.
ReplyDeleteThere's a good book at the front of the class called "the colour bible" it's got great 'schemes' in it. Something to check out and help with the mix/match game.
