How would you like to have your cake and eat it too? Well, you can...in the world of interior design, that is! Accent walls allow you to experiment with color, texture, and tone without the commitment of altering the whole room’s foundational design.

And, what better reason to hop up off our couches (and out of our "day pajamas") than to set the scene for loads of warm-weather memories!
