Accent Wall Help!

18 years ago

We are finally done texturizing our gameroom walls and ready for the paint. I purchased a gallon of BM Davenport Tan (a chocolate brown) but now realize I will definitely need more than one gallon to cover the entire room.

So I'm looking for help on deciding if I should treat the dark Davenport Tan as an accent color (using just on one or two walls) or all over. If used as an accent I'd probably use BM Stone House which I have in the adjoining upstairs hallway.

Here's a pic of the room before (excuse the mess!)

The ceiling has been painted white along with the fireplace (which is now all white vs. multi-colored). We have a denim blue slipcovered sectional that will be in the room too.

Here's BM Davenport Tan (although it's a bit darker in person):

And here's BM Stonehouse:


The Stonehouse is a bit warmer than it appears in the photos.

Still not sure what direction I'll go with drapes but we do have some movie poster type art that we're hoping to use for the walls.

I've never played with accent walls so I'm concerned about it looking too broken up. We chose the Davenport Tan because it is dark and the room is a "theater room" but I don't want it to look too cave-like either since it is open to the rest of our upstairs.

Thanks for reading this far!
