to accent?

The last several weeks I've been debating painting an accent wall on the far wall of the apartment in behind the TV.  As you all know, I'm not one for colour on the walls and I currently only have one navy wall in the dining area.  I've been drawn to a greeny-blue-grey colour for awhile which I think will accent all the reds and oranges in the living area nicely, so, with the help of Photoshop....





What do you think?

PS - bonus points to anyone who has realized that I long ago ditched the coffee table in favour of wood stumps - so keep in mind it won't look so shallow.

  1. I tend to stick with white myself. I personally am not much into accent walls, but whole rooms painted. My family room is a really light shade of grey and I love it. The color is pretty and I'm sure it will look great.

  2. the only white walls i like are plaster walls -- so I say go for the color! (it's a good color too.)

  3. it's a great color, but i think you'll change your mind come spring. we tend to like warmer, cozier spaces in the winter with lots of color, but you've got rich color in the room already and by spring you may wish you had more clean white again.

    then again, just my opinion. thanks for asking for it, though:)

  9. I am only a fan of accent walls when the space is very clearly separated from the rest of the wall. Your wall is a perfect example of what I mean. The windows make it a little canvas of it's own. I think an accent color would be successful here. What about a color that pops more? Navy? I love it with red and orange.

    I normally like the accent wall but in this case I say keep it white! Your apartment was so cozy when I was there..... I wouldn't change it.

    I like grey and currently have a shade of it in every room of my house. If you haven't already chosen a color I would suggest looking at Benjamin Moore's Sea Haze. It is incredible (greenish undertones, blue in bright light and a very grey grey in the evening).
