If one wall could tell a story, what would it be? An accent wall is not just a trend – it's an opportunity to bring personality, depth, and an eye-catcher to the space. One wall, one shade – and the whole room's vibe changes.
Why create an accent wall?
An accent wall is an easy and quick way to bring a new look to your home. It doesn't require painting the whole room, but still strongly affects the atmosphere.
An accent wall can highlight the headboard, the dining area's background, wallpaper, or even the shape of the staircase.
The best part is that the accent wall works in many kinds of environments – whether the style is classic, modern, bohemian, or Scandinavian.

Depth and atmosphere with dark shades
If you want a strong look, dark shades are the right choice. They create contrast and depth – and make the room a bit bolder.
🖌 Recommended shade: Hornblower
Dark blue, a genuine denim blue shade that brings dignity and a focal point to the space. Especially suitable for the living room or dining area.
💡 Tip: Use matte paint so the color looks deep and soft. Add light elements alongside – like a white sofa, a light painting, or a brass lamp – to balance the whole.
Softness with light shades
A light accent wall is not boring – quite the opposite. The right shade can elevate the entire room's look and bring light, harmony, and soothing warmth. Light shades give space to breathe and are perfect for Scandinavian interiors.
🖌 Recommended shade: Stone in Love
This soft linen gray is the perfect choice when you want a subtle but elegant background for the wall. The shade has just the right amount of warmth and natural understated elegance. It suits the bedroom, living room, or even a hallway wall to bring a calming rhythm.
💡 Tip: Paint a bench, shelf, or mirror frame next to the accent wall in a matching shade. This way, the wall and furniture blend harmoniously, creating a thoughtfully unified result – a small gesture, big impact.
Playfulness with bright shades
If you want a touch of energy, choose a bold color for the accent wall! Bright shades bring joy and are especially suitable for children's rooms, workspaces, or hallways.
🖌 Recommended shade: Honeycombe
A warm natural honey shade that brings life to a light interior. Perfect for a study or a wall that gets sunlight during the day.
💡 Tip: Let the shade speak for itself. Change the decor as little as possible so the wall can shine in the spotlight.
Summary – make your home your own stage
An accent wall is a detail in the room that draws attention and tells something essential about the resident. Whether your shade is subdued or eye-catching, one wall is enough to bring new energy to the space.
