The more I do my research, the more intimidating doing an accent wall is looking. I haven't seen any mention of them here, so maybe they are falling out of fashion, or are a lot easier than they appear to me.

If you do an accent wall - do you do it first or last? I was thinking of doing one that is quite bold, a deep terracotta, against cream walls. I'd like to give the house more zip as its all beige right now and pretty blah.

Any thoughts on this?
