These especially work for small spaces as they brighten up the room during the daytime and make it look bigger. Also, for big places, they work as a great canvas to decorate the space. Accent colors The idea of adding a pop of color is to make the place look more welcoming and fun.

There are many patterns and textures that you can give to a wall, but the design and color must be decided prior.
