Does chocolate brown accent wall make your livingroom look smaller

Depends on the size of the room and the amount of light

It might make your room seem cozier and welcoming. A matte finish absorbs light and a semi-gloss/gloss will reflect it. Go for it! The beauty of paint is that it's easy to change

Depends on your living room (light-ing, layout, furniture etc)

I have chocolate brown accent walls but my room is very long.. how big of a room are we talking about?

Hello Barbarajcbell, Yes, an accent wall will make your room look smaller, no matter what room it is or what color the accent wall. It makes your room look smaller because it breaks up the continuous flow of color that makes your room look like it's bigger.

Good Luck and thanks for asking HOMETALK for information :)

Depends on how large the room is and how much natural light there is during the day. At night lighting is also strategic. Just depends on the look you are going for.

I think dark colors tend to make rooms look smaller as a rule. White and light colors make things look more expansive. As it is just one accent wall, the other colors you use, plus the furniture arrangement and the room layout may counter-balance the effects of one dark color in the room.

Fischer Luce is so right on all she has mentioned 📌

No! Especially since it is only 1 wall. The key is what color the other 3 walls are. If they are a lighter neutral, you should be fine!
