Do you need help figuring out where to start with an accent wall, or just looking for fresh ideas? Here is a list of our favorite accent wall ideas.

Benjamin Moore Paint Color of the Year for Accent Walls

The 2024 Benjamin Moore color of the year, Blue Nova 825, is a mix of blue and violet inspired by space. It’s a gorgeous, deep statement color that works well on all walls and makes a beautiful accent wall paint.

We love Blue Nova 825 or similar blues as an accent wall adjacent to creamy neutrals and offwhites. For an extra bold look, contrast with a light aqua. For drama, rich browns would elevate Blue Nova 825’s presence in the room.

Geometric Accent Wall

This accent wall idea looks great with any decor scheme but fits exceptionally well in bold, modern styles.

With one accent wall paint color or two, use paint tape to create shapes or lines running the length of the wall diagonally or straight across. You can use patterns like chevrons or simple stripes or go for a more organic look with various lengths and angles. For a dramatic but easy-to-do accent wall, cut the wall in half diagonally and paint each half a different complimentary color.

Try color blocking with four Benjamin Moore accent wall colors. Like the geometric design, you’ll use tape to block off your squares or other shapes. Choose a combination of bold and soft colors that all work well with your other three walls to keep it from being too chaotic of a look.

Gallery Accent Wall

Gallery walls are as popular as ever. Using an accent wall for this design is an excellent idea because it will be an attractive focal point in the room and make creating the gallery easier. Creating a gallery wall on a larger wall or walls can be daunting, as it involves figuring out placement and covering the entire space. An accent wall is for your gallery!

Choose an accent wall paint color that looks great with your frames. Jewel tones would be a beautiful choice if all your frames are black. If you like to mix and match frame colors and finishes, a dark neutral or a fun, bright color would work perfectly.

Ombre Accent Wall Paint 

This color makes for an amusing accent wall. Choose two or three Benjamin Moore paint colors that have a similar tone. Start with the darkest color at the top. Between the top and middle colors, you’ll paint a layer of each so they look like they’re melting into one another. The same goes for the middle and bottom colors. Of course, this is your accent wall, and you’re the artist. Feel free to reverse the order or use more paint colors.
