Help! Help me pick a funky color for an accent wall
Ok so please be gentle with me lol. I know my living space might not be everyone’s taste so pls reserve comments that are just bashing it. I recently went through a terrible breakup and I impulse bought a pink couch because why the f*** not, it’s my home and I’m leaning into it. But now with the bright couch and bright accessories I feel I need to balance it with a splash of wall color, just the wall that one half of the couch is on (the other half is against a window that is in front of a tree that leafs out beautifully, so that half is covered. I’m looking for FUN. If I want a disco ball, I don’t want the color I’ve chosen to clash with that. Neutrals and muted tones won’t cut it. I want gem tones, even though a few of my chosen options don’t reflect that. Besides the pink couch my place is vibrant with blues and greens, with pops of pink and red. Not *much* yellow/purple/orange. I’ve included some sherwin Williams app photos (which show you too little of the room) I’ll include some other photos as well. Please help!!! submitted by /u/kairaanna to r/femalelivingspace [link] [comments]

Accent Walls Suck
I see dozens of comments in this and other interior design subs advocating for accent walls and I just needed to vent/solicit opinions. To me, accent walls never look right. If it’s just a color, it feels like a hotel room. If it’s wallpaper, it feels like someone’s “budget renovation” youtube video or a cheap flip. Both options feel very dated, specifically to the early 2010s. Just wallpaper or paint the whole room. It looks so much better. One wall that’s different is distracting and jumps out at the eye. It can make the whole room feel off and unfinished. Go all the way with color/pattern or don’t do it at all. Accent walls are a half assed way for people who can’t/don’t want to commit to being bold. It’s the coward’s way out. And yes I know some people do it because wallpaper is expensive. I get it, but like pick something else to do to the walls then. Or even get a paint color that matches the wallpaper mostly and paint the other walls that. I still don’t think that looks right but it looks so much better than one wall that is bright and bold and 3 white walls and a white ceiling. So why do so many people love these? Why are they so popular? I’m genuinely curious because the only explanation I can think of is that everyone who likes them watched way too many flipping shows in 2013 (or I guess reruns now) and still thinks they’re the height of taste. I know I sound like a bit of a dick here, pls don’t take it personally if you love an accent wall. submitted by /u/No-Tomato5156 to r/interiordesignideas [link] [comments]

Help! Painted whole dining nook too dark when I should’ve stopped at accent wall
Husband and I painted this beautiful green wall and couldn’t decide if we should paint the rest of the dining “nook” or only this one wall. Felt weird with only 1 wall since I wallpapered the adjacent wall so it’s unclean which would be the “accent” wall. Well we painted the other two walls and I think we messed up and it’s too dark. Is getting dark walls back to white really hard? Should I do some sort of white wainscoting on the bottom so it adds some light back in?
