1. Picking A Wall
An accent wall is a wall painted a different color from the rest of the room and will naturally garner attention. Choosing the right wall will highlight an already prominent feature of the room.
It's best to select a wall in an open area that has lots of light, either natural or artificial.
The wall that your eye is pulled towards or that has interesting architectural features is especially good.

4. Painting the Wall
Start by taping the edges of the wall you're painting with masking tape or painter's tape. No querrá pintar otras superficies. Cover the floor with a tarp.
Cut in a 2 to 3-inch area where the wall meets the ceiling and around trim or lighting fixtures, using a brush.
Using a brush or roller, fill in the rest of the wall. Make sure the paint is evenly spread. Start painting from the ceiling down to the floor in long, even motions.
Depending on the color, you may have to use more than one coat. Be sure to let the paint dry between coats.
