Accent Walls. You either love 'em or hate 'em. At least, that's the general consensus I hear when people are thinking about re-decorating their home. Personally, I think it's a great way to add some color without being totally overwhelmed by it, especially if you choose an extremely bright color. Here are some inspiring rooms to get you thinking.

Only annoying if you use the phrase "accent wall"

First pic on the bottom row: does anyone know the name of that color and who makes it? Thanks.
My vote is for orange!
These are all gorgeous. I used to hate accent walls until I bought a house that pretty much begs for them. I now have two and am considering adding two more.
