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

It was fun working with Chris and his crew. I’ve never had a contracted job go so smoothly from start to finish. The office was responsive to my needs, Corey was patient and helpful while I made color choices, and Chris made sure I was happy with the crew’s work every step of the way. Gabriel does amazing work as well. Very much a perfectionist like Chris. I don’t have a bad thing to say. The job is absolutely stunning and I’ve had so many neighbors tell me it’s beautiful. I’m happy to put one of your signs in my front yard if you’d like so people know as they drive by who did the work. Thank you Brooks Painting. I will be recommending you to anybody who asks.

Jeff Allbright, Nugget Markets Corp.

Brooks Painting has be in business a long time in our area. As a native resident we have seen and heard of their professional & quality painting. In looking for bids on painting our house Brooks was referred numerous times. When Jeremy came out to meet us we were sold on using their services and looked no further. Every aspect of this company was very upfront, professional and made us feel safe, valued and comfortable hiring them. The office staff kept good communication with us. The color matching was perfect. The crew showed up on time, were respectful and did a great job from prep to the final end of the project. The warranty offered was a plus and the liability coverage gave us peace of mind also. The price was well worth all that was included in the project so we had little to do but move our stuff away from the house. Thank you Brooks painting, crew and staff for making our home new again :)

My experience with Brooks Painting has been outstanding, and, if it were an option on Google, I would assign 100 stars to their work. Mark and his crew were exceptional in painting both the inside and outside of my Central Davis home. They were considerate, careful, and respectful of my furnishings and yard. Kristen and her office staff were also responsive to my queries and were timely in scheduling the work. Thank you Brooks Painting for assisting in transforming my house into a beautiful home!
