We’re stepping outside our decorating comfort zone in 2024, and what better way to do that than with a two-tone wall? This painting trick has been around for some time – color blocking, anyone? – but it remains a great way to experiment with more dynamic palettes, and designers and paint experts alike are finding new and exciting ways to approach the look for a contemporary home.
As far as paint ideas go, the two-tone wall is also really versatile. ‘Two tone walls work great in traditional homes where a picture rail or dado rail is in place,’ says Flora Hogg, interior designer and color consultant at Craig & Rose. ‘They provide definition and highlighting architectural details.’ They’ll also add interest to a box-like new build and everything in between – so why not give it a try? We’ve rounded up our favorite examples to inspire you to get started.
