Which wall should be painted the accent color in a rectangular room with a closet at one short end the long walls have two windows one side and the doorway on the other is opposite of the closet?

Answer 1

Well it depends, do u have a rocking chair in the corner by the winkdow or a ceiling fan? If so the accent colored wall should be the empty one. But if u have a vase of flowers on ur coffee table by the closet,it depends on what color the flowers are. If they're red blue or green it should be the wall with the closet. If they're any other color and its summer time it should be the wall with the windows. And lets see if u add another window it could also change the effect of the rooms atmosphere, so u wouldn't want an accent colored wall.

Answer

Choosing the wall the accent is a matter of guesswork, unless you are using some other ideas to set up the room, such as Feng Shui, or trying to make the room appear wider than it is. I painted the long wall that did not have a wall unit on it a periwinkle blue and it warms up the room--better than all beige or making the entire room the same color. A friend of mine used a dark brown on one end wall to make the room look wider. Of course, windows and doors will entail carefully painting the edges. A bare wall may require two coats to evenly cover the area without streaking.
