Would love to get Input on choosing paint colors for the adjoining walls of an Accent Wall. Like if accent wall in a bedroom with minimal light is Indigo batik torn on side walls. Trim and ceiling is alabaster. Trying to decide if walls should be alabaster too or do a light blue gray. Don’t want to take away from the focus wall though

How do you feel about BM Kendall Charcoal? I have many clients that use that for a feature wall. I personally love the drama!

Hi Kylie, My whole house is Alpaca, I want to do an accent wall in my bedroom. Thinking about Mink, Backdrop or Gibraltar. What are your thoughts?
Thanks.

In reply to Kim. Hi Kim, it sounds like the LONG wall might just be the best choice!

Hi Kylie! Loving all of your info! Wondering what wall would work best for a feature wall in our bedroom. We have a tall headboard that is at a diagonal in the corner between the North and West walls. Both walls have large windows on them almost the entire length of the wall. This is the only place our tall headboard fits. So I would almost have to paint both walls the feature color to make it not look awkward. I don’t want to make it feel boxy by having two feature walls and two neutral walls. Or should I paint the longest wall in our room which is the South Wall that you do not see as you walk in so you would have to turn to see it. The south wall has the door into the bedroom. It would have our tall armoire and I could dress that wall up with a feature picture Etc. The East wall is nothing special, it is our dresser with mirror and also closet door so I don’t think that would make the best feature wall either. I love the idea of creamy gray walls with a blue / Grey feature wall. Just not sure which wall is best!! Thanks for any info you send my way! Your blog posts have saved me from many mistakes already 🙂

Hi ! Great post! i have snowbound on my trim and fireplace and I want to do a feature wall on fireplace, we love blue/navy/charcoal (all of the above really) but they all seem so cold against the snowbound. (in our house it looks a very sharp white). I would love your recommendation for a colour that is dark but warm with snowbound? Even a green or green undertone ?

In reply to Ella. Well, I think Gauntlet Gray is a STUNNER, as long as it suits the floor, countertops and backsplash. HOWEVER, I do worry about it with the light green feature wall, as light green isn't a colour I would normally partner with Gauntlet Gray :)

I fell in love with SW Gauntlet Gray as soon as I saw it at our home improvement store and have been planning on using it for my cabinet painting project in a few weeks. My husband said it was too "moody" of a color to use in the kitchen, but I think it would contrast well with our light-colored floors and light green feature wall with bead boards. Do you think it would still be a good color to use on kitchen cabinets?

Great post, as always.
The chandelier in the first photo is gorgeous! Can I ask where I can possibly buy one?
Thanks so much!
