Accent Wall Color - Using Paint Samples
Thoughts from Shawn, our professional nursery designer

"Creating an accent wall – using a color to paint one or more walls differently from the other walls in your nursery – can add interest and excitement to your baby’s room. If this is your preference, I recommend you accent the wall behind the crib. An accent wall works best if it enhances the natural focal point of the room – which in your nursery is most likely the crib.

"Test with paint samples to preview your paint colors. I much prefer actual paint samples to dry paint swatches. Paint your Sapling sample in the areas that you will be using it. Be sure that you let it dry completely before evaluating the color. Paint as large of a sample of Sapling as you can to most effectively evaluate the color – surrounding colors on the wall will make the color look different than when the entire wall is painted."
