How to choose an accent wall
Find the natural focal point in the room.
The focal point of a room is not always the wall you see when you first walk in. Go with the wall that you want to draw attention to because it's interesting or unique in some way.
For example, in a room with a fireplace, accent the fireplace wall. If you have built-in bookshelves, an interesting nook, wainscoting, or something else architecturally distinctive, highlight those elements.
