Most Bangalore homeowners make one big mistake: choosing accent wall colors based only on how they look in daylight. But those same colors can appear dull, muddy, or harsh under evening lighting — and completely ruin your room’s vibe.
In this guide, our experts at Yash Links Interiors share how to create a perfect accent wall that suits your home’s layout, matches your lighting, and makes a lasting impression.
An accent wall is the room’s visual anchor — a single wall painted or decorated differently to create depth, contrast, and focus.
Behind the bed in your master bedroom
Behind the sofa in your living room
Framing the dining table or study nook
Bold paint shades (navy blue, deep green, terracotta)
Textured wallpapers (linen, metallic, geometric)
Wooden paneling or stone cladding
Custom murals or wall-mounted art
Pro Tip: Your accent wall should highlight the room’s best feature — not compete with it.
Bangalore homes receive varying amounts of natural light depending on orientation, surrounding buildings, and weather. Choosing colors based on showroom lights is a recipe for regret.
Picking a color that looks great at 12 PM but turns dull or strange at 7 PM.
Paint large test swatches (60cm x 60cm) directly on your wall
Observe them during morning, afternoon, and evening
Use the same artificial lighting (warm or white LEDs) that you’ll use daily
Wait 48 hours before finalizing your choice
North-facing rooms: Use warm shades like beige, mustard, or light terracotta
South-facing rooms: Try cooler tones like grey, teal, or sage green
Patterns are beautiful — but only when they fit the space. A wallpaper that looks great in a store can easily overwhelm a small Bangalore apartment.
Small rooms (under 13.5 sq.m): Stick to subtle textures or solids
Large rooms: You can confidently use bold wallpaper, geometric designs, or paneling
Think balance — the wall should feel integrated, not overpowering.
