An accent wall can add great color to an entire room without making the color overwhelming. An accent wall could be a great place to showcase family photos or antiques. Also consider different painting techniques with your walls. Sponging or textured your walls.
5-Baseboards and Ceilings-Don’t forget to consider painting baseboards and ceilings. When fresh paint is applied to the walls the baseboards and ceilings could stand out in a bad way. A fresh coat of paint will complete the interior. Once a wall colors are decided try and select a complimentary color to use for the baseboards.
