The Accent Wall

The Accent Wall

Step 1. Pick the right wall

You’ll want a wall that already provides interest, such a wall with a fireplace or unique window. Often a symmetrical wall is recommended for the accent wall, if there isn’t an obvious choice. cM9c3m7f-XqBCsy9FdhPVG_VdMUrpDJLVE0xaFibpsReqph4tV06shwthU-XWrdkGGjXK45nUjyiFxTC8VvVGkf7BxD0cw0SOfGqOQjjdkS75oQoeXMvhHW3vPZTQ0kSvR-Brk0

Step 2. Pick the right color

Your accent wall should complement your dominant color, not blend into it. You’ll want to go with a darker shade, rather than lighter, or the room may be appear smaller. A good rule of thumb is to go at least 2-3 shades darker with accent color.

Simplify it - The 60-30-10 rule:

60% of your room should be painted with the dominant color.

30% of the room is dedicated to the accent color. Curtains, bedding, and furniture tend look best in the accent color.

10% of the room can be dedicated to other decor and accessories. lP_YCJH42TyNuHlCqiUcY6ofsTvuCyF_bcqo2iT1AxgxgtHwWIxfal7tP2WhOAARsO3-l9pLpXpfMZ6WNLrJ47we-s3rNmcKdvglRDP3hJxYIAblTCEvjbTMWRGC_O7EsU_A2K0

Very professional, I appreciate the time they took to make sure everything was taken care of for my house! I really liked that Jaime stepped up and told me not to paint my front door like the house and then chose a color that worked great. Thank you!

Claude V., Dixon

We are long time happy customers with many positive experiences with Brooks Painting. We have appreciated the assistance (and patience) with selecting paint colors, the professionalism of the staff and the high quality of workmanship. We recently had some interior painting done and the crew was on time, neat, careful inside the house and very easy to work with. They also cheerfully handled some unexpected drywall repair. I highly recommend Brooks Painting.

Teri Greenfield

I wanted to have my kitchen cabinets painted but knew that that was a job that required skill and expertise. I called Brooks Painting and the experience from start to finish was perfect! Everyone I dealt with was personable and good at their jobs. They spent time answering questions, explaining the exact process, and did the work precisely as promised. They even did a few other small jobs (repairing and painting 2 water damaged ceilings) to perfection. And everything was neat and clean when they left! And the cabinets – better than I could have hoped for. Esteban is a master craftsman who was meticulous in every aspect of his work. The finish is smooth as glass with no imperfections. I couldn’t be happier!

John K.

Chris and Gabriel were amazing. Corey was patient and helpful in answering questions and while I decided on colors. The office was easy to contact and had good follow-through. Thank you so much to Brooks for a job I could not possibly be happier with. Feel free to use me as a reference!

Laura P

Consummate professionals! We hired Brooks to repaint the exterior of our house, and they did a fantastic job. The paint looks wonderful, everyone was also on time, friendly, and respectful of our property. Exceptional communication through the entire process. I was worried about damage to the landscaping near the house (bad previous experience with another outfit), but they were all very understanding and the crew was super careful. Did what they said they would do with no weirdness, no smoking, no radio, and they cleaned up after themselves nicely. This picky customer is very happy!

Lisa Goodin

You are an excellent company and I couldn't be any happier with your work. This is your second job for me and both were excellent.
