Ok, it is perfectly fine to just paint one wall. That is a great color. If the others are white, I would freshen them up with a fresh coat of white, just so it pulls it together and looks clean. You could dress up other parts of the room with pillows in a mocha color, or other objects in the same color as the wall. Maybe a rug or something. Mocha and white are great together, but you also want to include a bright color to make it pop, such as a coral or a turquoise blue. You could do a mocha/coral pillow set. Pier One has great choices, and you can order online. Good luck!~

You can paint your home however you want. If you like the way it looks with one wall being a different color that's fine, just leave it like this then. It's you who lives in there and if you're satisfied then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You don't have to have the same taste as others or live your life by their fashion.
I've seen a few homes where one wall wasn't the same color like the rest and it looked nice and it's probably not as rare or weird as you might think.

I'd definitely leave it just one wall. It means that when you get tired of the mocha you can paint it a different colour and give your room a whole new look without a whole lot of work.

It's only paint. Try it and if you like it, do not worry about what anyone else thinks. It's your house so enjoy it.
By the way, I did this in the bedroom - painted the headboard wall in a rich shiny red to contrast with the taupe on the other walls. It's great and I absolutely love it.
Forget trends, do what you want. If you don't like the way it looks, it's simple to paint over it.

It's common to have one or two walls painted a different color. Your house is yours to decorate however you want to. If you think it looks great with one wall painted that color then leave it alone and enjoy :)

After applying thousands of gallons of paint I know this as a fact.
The customer is always "right" even when they aren't.
It's your place. If it suits you then don't stress about opinions from others.
The good news folks,,, is that paint, can always be painted over.

It seems like everyone is in agreement; if you're happy with the work that you've done just sit back and enjoy! Isn't it a great feeling to look at something that you've accomplished yourself and really be happy? You can accessorize with lots of different colors too. Nice Job!!

A lot of people have feature walls (where you paint one only).

It is still okay to do just 1 accent wall. It'll look great.
