Which Walls to Paint

In most living rooms, painting all four walls the same color creates cohesion. For an accent wall, choose the wall behind your sofa or the fireplace wall.

Accent Wall Ideas

A darker shade of the same color family on one wall adds depth without overwhelming. Or use the main color on walls and a contrasting shade on built-in shelving.

Paint Finish & Practical Tips

Recommended Finish

Eggshell or matte for a natural, organic feel. Satin for kitchens where you need wipe-ability.

Coverage

Most greens cover well in 2 coats. Very dark greens may need primer first.

Living Room Tip

Eggshell finish is ideal for living room walls — it's washable enough for everyday life but doesn't show roller marks like satin can.
