Tips for Painting Statement Walls

The Paint Centers • Sep 21, 2023

In interior design, statement walls have become a dynamic and creative way to express one's unique aesthetic vision. This is a powerful method of transforming an ordinary wall into a canvas for artistry that injects personality into any living space. Although inventing the concept of a statement wall in your mind and the actual task of painting one may seem like disparate tasks, we're here to help bridge that gap. Here are some strategic pointers for painting your statement walls.

Tip 1: Spotlight the Wall

The fundamental premise of a statement wall is its ability to command attention. It's intended to be the centerpiece of a room - where the eyes are naturally drawn. This could be the wall behind your television, encompassing your fireplace, adorning family portraits, or situated behind your bed. Capitalizing on these areas will complement and enhance their attractiveness rather than cause a distraction. In the absence of a focal point, we recommend selecting the shortest, width-wise, wall in your space. Adorn this wall with artwork, a mirror, or framed photos to curate an engaging visual centerpiece.

Tip 2: Striking vs. Bold

Remember, while painting statement walls, bigger isn't always better. The term 'statement wall' may conjure images of strikingly vibrant hues like red, orange, or pink, but these colors might not align with everyone's home aesthetics. A statement wall does not necessarily have to feature ostentatious colors. The intent is to create a distinctly significant element that still cohesively harmonizes with the rest of your decor. For instance, rather than an intense red, a deep black shade can elicit curiosity without verging on disrupting serenity. Alternatively, in place of lime green, visualize a verdant, earthy tone that encapsulates the tranquility of dense forests. Benjamin Moore presents a versatile palette of colors that can make a statement without overpowering your overall style.

Tip 3: Complementary Rather Than Clashing Colors

Creating a statement wall that either clashes with the surrounding colors or doesn't stand out enough due to excessive caution are common pitfalls. Instead, explore ways to enhance a room's color scheme. If your den flaunts a dark green bookcase, avoid painting the wall in a similar shade. Opt instead for a color that complements that green, bringing balance. Add elements of the chosen color for your statement wall to other parts of your room, like throw pillows, area rugs, or small furniture pieces. This is a subtle way to harmonize and enhance. To ensure the perfect color mix, our experienced team is ready to provide guidance.
