accent wall with mint green walls

4 years ago

My living room walls mint green and I am looking to create an accent wall. Any ideas? Would a periwinkle color be too dark?

    Periwinkle color

    Idk about adding anipother color, how about some sort of paneled wall treatment painted the same color. It would give you the interest that youre looking for while keeping it simple. Which wall were you thinking.?

    This is the wall but the wall unit will not be there. There will only be a large television on the wall with a low entertainment center.

    Chocolate brown is a great compliment to mint green:

    And a t v on a dark brown wall is the perfect solution to a "in-your-face" black t v screen.

    I'd hang some patterned drapery panels on the windows to get the 'color' you are looking for.

    How about White?

    it would freshen the space and compliment your furniture.

    I tend to like this Aegean teal color also.

    That is a very big wall to commit to an intense color..but if you do want an accent ….i would keep it in a more pastel tones..perhaps one or two shades lighter on your selected color choice…buying a quart or big sample card to put in the room to see how it looks at different times of the day…when you remove the shelving unit….the new color will make a much bigger statement…too dark may just overwhelm the room

    Chocolate and mint green were the colors in one of my favorite apartments, but were used in the bath. The walls were mint and the curtains and a skirt under the wall hung sink were chocolate gingham checks. It was really sweet. That may be too dark for you though. Generally, I don't like accent walls where there are already architectural features like your windows. I do make an exception for a fireplace wall if there is no other feature than the fireplace itself. I also don't like to draw attention to a TV, and would prefer to distract from it, or dissolve it away against a black wall.

    Not sure you require an accent wall with the mint green.

    I think I might consider drapery panels for those windows instead.

    Do you recall the name of the mint colour? 🌿

    No to accent wall. Add life in a rug, pillows on the sofas, a RUG ....

    Accent walls are for amateurs, sorry to say : )

    Show more. Include the adjacent spaces, and more viewing angles. It's never all about ONE wall.

    BeverlyFlaDeziner I like your option because it keeps the living room light and airy. Thank you

    Marylee H. I don’t recall the color exactly but I know it’s from Benjamin Moore. I’m sure I have a paint can in the garage.

    Beverly FlaDezinger in your photo you show a decoration above the screen TV. Do you recommend decor above the TV Since this is such a large space?

    If you get a mo. perhaps you could post the name? it will be useful for introducing further colour. 🌿

    I wouldnt put an accent color there, I would paint it the same color as rest of the walls. However, I dont think periwinkle is a good accent. Chocolate brown would be. Agean Teal, I love. Its a beautiful color, but, I am not seeing it with the mint.

    Thanks.

    Beautiful space.

    I agree no accent wall needed. Sounds to me your looking for a little drama. I would look for drapes that have the same color as your sofas for background with a little pattern.

    Suggest not making that an accent wall as room in general won’t benefit and with windows breaking the wall up, it could feel patchy.

    When making chsnges, it’s always a good idea to look for inspiration, to help with a direction, colors, window treatments and how accessories pull a room together.

    I’m not a fan of your mint green and if interested in painting the entire space, suggest a softer green, with accessories that feel both modern and warm,

    That’s very nice. Only you will know if it works in your space.

    Nelida, placing items above or around a TV should be determined on a case-by-case basis. It just depends on what the room "needs".

    I'd prob do something like this.

    new ceiling fan, a lighter wood media console, wall mount the tv, bring in darker tones w/chairs/rug, add some green plants, some other wood accents.




    see the darker teal up in the top right and this velvet color chair? This is a nice accent color.


    not for a wall, for accessories. bring in art, chairs, throws, pillows, maybe in a rug,,,,these are the tones you need w/the mint green






    copper and gray is nice too


    darker charcoal tones

    "modernized" with black / white, with chair and flat front. Is this a blush-beige chair?

    Lighter than this, a lemon yellow nice with mint. Your art and pillows could bring in a blue or periwinkle, etc...

    A softened medium cadet blue.
    The room is all neutral? I think other than brown is best, or it'll be drab.

    Your wall color lends itself to a color scheme I refer to as "Sea Glass" Don't discount that 'white' can be your accent color for the room. The room needs texture and some contrasts, but not dark colors. Muted colors would be a better choice.

    I really like the sea salt color.

    Mary lee H The color on my walls are Benjamin Moore light mint 480 C -1.

  • 4 years ago

    These are all from the same Green Hue Family as Behr’s Light Mint.

    Depending upon light quality they may appear more green, blue-green or even blueish.

    We don't know if you picked the mint color, and if you did, some houzzer help could move it forward, accessories, etc...

    even with new teal paint, there'd be decisions...

    Question: does this soft, low-contrast look have any appeal, whether in mint, or soft teal?

    Occurred to me that wallpaper using your light/whites could be nice [instead of a whole new color].

    Try to use a moss green wall for the interior, something like this: https://www.zelenizidoviodmahovine.rs/

    Decided on no accent wall in the living room, but kept all walls the same color. Took down the large entertainment center and replaced with a new wall TV and a low entertainment center for storage. Added white light see-through curtains.

  • 2 years ago

    Added, light blue and white patterned drapes to the sliding glass doors

    Nice.

    any chance of updating that ceiling fan? for one, the blades are too short to any actual cooling, And, it's too high. You need another down rod.

    The style really detracts from the room.


    Plenty of better looking white ones.

    a 60" or 62" blade would prob be better.


    don't know if you would like one w/a light, so here's an option. and these come w/remotes

    Beth H I’ve been thinking of exchanging the ceiling fan for a while now. I will be looking into an appropriate fan for the space. Thank you.
