An accent wall should be a colour that already appears in your room, is dynamic enough to make a statement and one that you personally can live with.

Look at any large upholstered furniture, patterned drapes or accent pieces you are particularily fond of.

Which colour draws your eye, makes you feel good and has enough impact to do what is needed.

Once you have a colour you think might be right, go to you local paint retailer and get either a couple of the super large colour swatches (several brands now carry these) or a sample bottle (these usually cover a square foot or two), take them home and put them up on the wall.

Give yourself a day or so to be sure.

If you are satisfied, your next step is to paint.

If you are not, try the same colour but either darker or lighter. If that doesn't work, try another colour.

Remember, decorating is something you do to make your environment yours. Don't be talked into a look, style or colour you do not like.

After all you home should reflect you, not some designer that has never met you or been to your house.

Trust your instincts.

Which wall should be painted an accent color in a living room with a cathedral ceiling?

Even if the ceiling is a cathedral, it is rarely the only point of interest in a room. Look the room over carefully, pick your focal wall from the architecture. A fireplace built in book shelves, or windows with a spectacular view should enter into the equation. If there are no architectural features, decide your furniture placement and pick you accent wall from that.

What color valance will go with an accent wall in chocolate?

If the valance is on the accent wall, your best bet is to pick up another colour from the room's palette. However, there are some who would tell you that the valance and drapes should be the same chocolate brown as the walls to keep the impact of the look. If your valance is on any other wall in the room, I would suggest a patterned fabric that has the chocolate brown in it. This helps to tie in the colour and give a more cohesive look to the project.
