A red accent wall would look great..but make sure you pick a 'cool' red..one with no orangey tones..your paint store should be able to help you with that..and you will probably have to go with 2 coats of paint..and if you want something not too dark or bright try a more matte red ..that will keep it from looking to 'bright'

I would be careful.I don't know what finish your silver paint is, but the tones or the values of the paint should match , so go to a good paint shop and get someone to help you find the right match. It's a lot of work painting and you want to be sure before you start. Good luck

Answer 6

Definitely! Pick a red with blue overtones, not yellow.
Try cherry red, raspberry, or bugundy.
I would suggest using the sofa wall, or the biggest wall, for the red.
