All the walls in my house are a taupe color, and I left them that way when I moved in because I figured I could use furniture and accessories to add color. I love color but I also love to change up things every now and then, so I didn't want to be locked into a color choice that I might regret later.
However, the more I looked at the wall where my couch is located, the more I thought it begged to be an accent wall. I have a lot of greens and blues in my house, but I decided using one of those colors as an accent would be too much. Eventually, I chose Spiced Cider - SW7702 - from the Sherwin Williams HGTV Home collection.
This is the couch and wall before I painted. You can see how the couch almost blends into the wall.
Adding the accent wall really makes the couch, pillows and accessories pop. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
