Everyone knows that accent walls are over. In the early 2000s, painting one wall a different color was one of the most popular techniques for brightening a room, but as we enter 2026, the idea feels much less fresh. However, that doesn't mean that walls can't be artfully used to integrate color into the home.
Sofía Vergara's dining room walls are the prime example. Rather than painting a single wall, the actor transforms the space above her table with a large painting. The gold-framed wonder features a grouping of green trees, with notes of blue and yellow woven throughout. It's the perfect contrast to her cream-painted walls.
