Accent walls are a great way to introduce bold colors without overpowering a space. They also add character and create a beautiful focal point. Although there are endless color options to choose from, green accent walls are always in trend.
Considering that it’s a color inspired by nature, a green accent wall is perfect for when you want to bring a touch of the outdoors into your space. It also feels fresh, calming, and optimistic, and is guaranteed to enhance visual interest.
Luckily, there are tons of shades to select from. Go bold with emerald or lime green, infuse a cozy touch with dark green, add a dramatic vibe with dark moss, and evoke tranquility with soft mint green. Pick the shade that most appeals to you and complements your existing décor and style.
Before painting your entire accent wall with the chosen shade, get a sample size of the paint and paint a small portion of the wall first. Then see how it coordinates with other furnishings and how it will look throughout the day. Why? Natural lighting streaming in through your window largely affects how the paint appears. This is why you’ll find that the same hue can look different in many homes.

Instead of concentrating only on the accent walls, paint some décor pieces the same shade as well.

It also helps avoid a disjointed look that can sometimes happen with two-toned walls, as the wall shelves provide a vertical sense of continuity.
