Wall color?

9 years ago

Would like to do an accent wall in our family room, to give warmth. The rest of the walls are white- colors in the room are rust curtains, olive green couches, light hardwood floors, dark wood furniture.

Basically you already have n accent wall with the red curtains. I would not do the TV wall a different color. Maybe the box over the mantle would be a good accent

we need to see all 4 walls to see if an accent wall would work. IMO the wall you show would not be an accent wall

How about painting the entire room in a warmer color?

I agree with jck910, I wouldn't do an accent wall. As Bailey R suggested, I would paint the entire room. A nice shade of taupe. Nothing too dark or drab. You have a lot of dark tall furniture that dominates the look of the room. The skylight helps. Using pieces lower in height and adding art would really help as would a lot of throw pillows in different earth tones. Good luck!
