STYLISH SQUARES
With some simple layout techniques and two paint colors, you can transform a plain wall into the focal point of a room. We divided a wall into four large quadrants, then created drama by applying two contrasting colors: pale blue and khaki. The end result - a stylish and modern accent wall.
