Creating a single accent wall in a room can have a huge impact on the entire space. Perhaps you’ve been trying to muster up the courage to go with a vibrant red or a sexy dark chocolate wall? Doing so only on one wall will have high drama with minimal muss or fuss. You could always do it just to test out a wall color prior to painting the entire room. You might find that one wall will be enough to satisfy your need for a little pizzazz.

Wallpaper Accent Wall

Creating an accent wall is also a great way to introduce an expensive design element like wallpaper into the mix without the cost of installing it on four walls. Whether it’s a bright floral or bold graphic or perhaps a textural grass cloth, a single wall feature will be a fraction of the cost with multitudes of impact. A client of mine recently installed grasscloth paper on one long wall in her open concept family room/kitchen. It would have been difficult and expensive to paper the entire space and it wouldn’t have had the impact that the single featured wall had. This accent wall serves to designate the area in front of it as the “seating area” as opposed to the dining space and kitchen.

Themed Accent Walls

In addition to sporting a strong color, pattern or texture, the accent wall can be theme oriented as well. A collection of pottery or other similar item can become a showstopper, as can a single piece of quality art. Install an accent light aimed towards the wall for maximum effect.

Which Wall is Best as an Accent Wall

So, which wall makes a good candidate for an accent wall? The easiest and most common choice is usually the wall opposite the door into the space. This can serve to draw people into the room out of curiosity (is that pattern on ALL the walls?) or simply the attractiveness of the design. The accent wall can also draw attention away from something less interesting or aesthetically pleasing in a space as well. For instance, if the room has a wall that is filled with doors, windows and electrical plates, you might wish to de-emphasize these unappealing elements by highlighting a beautiful picture window or fireplace. Or, as mentioned above, in a multi-use space, an accent wall can be used to define the “zones” of the space, creating rooms within room.

How to Avoid Design Cliche

Accent walls can be a fantastic design element in any room, however, as with any design concept, a little goes a long way. I wouldn’t recommend having an accent wall in each room in the home as it will ultimately become more of a cliché than a surprise. And it’s in the surprises that we find good design.

Start decorating in the main room of your home, probably your living room. Whatever color scheme you select to decorate with for this room should compliment the color schemes you decide to decorate with in all adjacent rooms that are not separated by a door. Look around your main room for a large item with at least 3 colors. The large iitem could be a large piece of art, rug, sofa, or draperies. If you do not have a large item with at least 3 colors, you will need to get one.
2.

Select 3 colors in your large item that will become the color scheme of that room. For example, it could be a green, burgundy, and gold rug. Neutral colors such as black, white, grey, or beige do not work as well. Select the colors that appeal to you most.
3.

Each of the 3 colors in your large item should be incorporated evenly around your room in at least 3 places. You could have decorative gold pillows, a gold candlestick with a burgundy candle, and gold walls with burgundy and green books sitting on an end table, burgundy drapes, a green plant, and a green platter. Decorate with whatever accessories you find appealing.

A summer kitchen is basically an outdoor kitchen at someone’s home. Many people have outdoor barbecue pits, however homeowners are now upgrading to full outdoor kitchens. If you want to design a summer kitchen, consider the following:

Appliances

Decide what type of appliances you want in your summer kitchen. What type of grill do you want – charcoal, glass, or both? Would you like a side burner, warming drawer, or pizza oven? Rotisseries and smokers are also popular. Would you like a refrigerator or ice maker? A sink would be nice, but a dishwasher would be a true luxury.

Amenities

What other amenities would you like surrounding your outdoor kitchen? Would you like a pool or hot tub? Do you want to sit in a hammock, dining style seating, and/or lounge type seating? Would you like a TV, wood burning fireplace, or mosquito fogger?

Architecture

Do you want your summer kitchen completely enclosed in a covered patio, an open pergola or arbor, or just have a sun umbrella? Do you need a ceiling fan or outdoor heater?

Materials

Should your kitchen floor be stained concrete, slate, brick, or another material? Your cabinets should be very durable – maybe concrete or metal. Your countertops can be concrete, tile, granite, slate, or other durable surfaces.

Landscaping

Your landscaping sets the style of your outdoor kitchen. If you would like a tropical feel (and your climate accommodates it), select palm trees and other bright tropical plants. If you would like another feel for your summer kitchen, select plants in that appropriate style. After you have decided what you want your outdoor summer kitchen to have, draw out the outdoor space you have available for your summer kitchen. Use a piece of graph paper to draw your available area to scale using the actual dimensions of the space. Next, draw in the items you want to have in your space using the exact dimensions. This exercise will show you what you actually have room for. Once you have finalized how you want your summer kitchen to look, hire a general contractor to construct your outdoor kitchen. Make sure he follows all building codes and pulls all applicable permits. Ensure that you get all of the necessary utilities necessary for your outdoor kitchen, such as water, gas, and electricity.
