Which wall to make the feature wall, and colours that suit your light.
How this works
The best accent wall is the one your eye lands on first: usually behind the bed, sofa or fireplace. Avoid the window wall, because backlighting makes the colour look dark and flat. North and east facing rooms get cool light, so warmer colours work best. South and west facing rooms can carry cool or deep shades.
