1. Accent Walls

Creating an accent wall is a simple and effective way to add a modern touch to any room. Choose a bold colour that complements the rest of the room's décor. An accent wall can be used to highlight architectural features, such as built-in shelves, or to create a focal point behind your bed or sofa.

Tip: Choose a colour that contrasts with the other walls to make it stand out.

2. Two-Tone Walls

Two-tone walls are a trendy and sophisticated way to add depth and interest to a room. This technique involves painting the upper half of the wall one colour and the lower half another colour, usually separated by a chair rail or a strip of painter's tape.

Tip: Use neutral colours for a subtle look or bold contrasting colours for a more dramatic effect. This approach works particularly well in dining rooms, bedrooms, and living rooms.
