Using a bold color or pattern on just a single wall in one space is a great way to add some punch to your interior design without overwhelming it. The following are four ways that you can use accent walls to create a successful interior design:

Highlight Your Architecture
If one of the walls in a room boasts unique architecture, then painting that wall is an excellent way to make the architecture pop. For example, a fireplace is a unique architectural element in a living room area, and an accent wall will help make it stand out even more.

Define an Area
An accent wall is a great way to define one area from another. This works best in homes that contain open floor plans. For example, if you have a living room that shares floor space with a kitchen. An accent wall can help to define the living room as being visually separate from the kitchen without being physically separate.

Strengthen a Focal Point
An accent wall tends to draw the eye immediately because the rest of the space will usually contain more subtle colors and patterns. This means that you can strengthen certain focal points by using an accent wall. For example, your bed is most likely the focal point of the bedroom. By using an accent wall behind your bed, you will help strengthen that space as a focal point.

Add Warmth and Contrast
If your room is designed in neutral tones, then adding a warmer color to the space in the form of an accent wall will help provide warmth and contrast. Rooms designed in neutral colors often lack depth and seem a little bit flat as well. A darker accent wall will also help to provide more depth.
