Often in design advice there are recommendations to create bright accents. The simplest example is painting one of the walls, which is called an accent.
The idea has become popular among the masses, but professionals warn against rash decisions and advise opting for calm shades and colors.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to do the right thing.
Firstly, bright colours are tiring.
The effect will not last long and soon the bright spots will start to irritate and tire you.
An example would be a kitchen with bright facades, or a living room with an accent wall.
Secondly, bright colors are difficult to combine.
One of the main conditions that must be observed during renovation is harmony of color and style.
As for bright accent solutions, they will have to be combined with furniture and other decor of a similar color, which is not always possible.
That's why bright colors on walls go out of fashion, and the interior is considered outdated.
Thirdly, repairs are more expensive.
Before applying paint to the walls, they need to be prepared by hiding all cracks and unevenness.
The brighter the color, the more difficult it is to paint and the more expensive the preparatory work. But that's not all.
If you need to repair or restore something, then in the case of bright walls it will be more difficult to do this than with calm shades.
To sum up, the expert notes that in the long term, only a universal interior justifies itself.
As for accents, instead of paint on the walls, it is better to use textiles, furniture or other decorative items.
