Are you a little nervous about trying an Accent Wall for your home? Although they are commonly used in rooms such as Family Rooms or Bedrooms, you can try one out on a smaller scale such as the photo on the thumbnail of this blog like this Tacoma WA homeowner did. She just put a black Accent Wall behind a mirror in the Bath. That's a great way to test it out to see if you like a different color on 1 wall of the room.
