Accent Walls: Which is Better? Opposite a Natural Light Source vs. a Different Wall

Join me as we explore the pros and cons of placing an accent wall opposite a natural light source, such as a window. Whether it's in a living room, bedroom, or area of a home, you'll discover that having an accent wall opposite a natural light source has important benefits such as helping to bring out color variation in the wall paint as well as bringing emphasis to that area. You'll also discover some disadvantages of this location such as being too far away from a window to benefit from the light, or not working with the layout and focal area of a room. Taking both the pros and cons into consideration, I'll share what you can think about when deciding which wall to choose as an accent wall. What do you think? Is it better to locate the accent wall opposite a natural light source? Share your thoughts in the comments.
