At first glance, a complete transformation of the premises is only possible with a full renovation.

It would seem that to achieve the desired result, the appearance of all the walls in the room should be changed; there is no other way.

However, Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, assures that the work can be significantly simplified by limiting the “processing” to only one wall out of four.

This design technique is called an "Accent Wall".

Why "accent"? Because it is what will attract the primary attention of a person entering the room.

What needs to be done with one of the walls

While the appearance of the three walls can be left the same, the fourth wall should be made as bright as possible.

You can choose any style, any paint and any wallpaper. The wall can be made monochromatic or multi-colored. You can use drawings.

The main thing is that the surface becomes bright and easily “stands out” next to neutral walls.

One such wall will be quite enough to transform the room. At the same time, the interior will not be overloaded.
