How to Decorate With Accent Colors

Introduce Color in Unexpected Places With Paint

My favorite rooms always seem to be inspired by whatever colors I'm currently obsessing over. While I could happily reside in a space that's drenched in color, I realize some people prefer to use it more sparingly in their design. When we think of adding pops of color, though, the obvious route always seems to lead back to a throw pillow or accent chair. I'm preferring more innovative versions of accenting a room that involve paint and a little imagination. Click through this gallery to see some of my favorite examples for introducing color in unexpected (but brilliant) places.

I have a red accent wall that my children say i must get rid of, but i really like it. I have been wanting to add another color in the room recently with the red but im confused on what color. As of now white is the other color but in this house its not a practical color obviously, its alot of work trying to keep it clean ! I'm also confused on what do i paint an alternate color. It would be nice and very helpful if there was a site i could upload a pic of my room and get suggestions or even better a virtual paint your room to try on different paint colors. :-) When im crafting im not that intimidated to try differnt paint colors because a small project is so easy to just repaint but a whole room i find is very intimidating.
