Vent: My bright idea for a kitchen accent wall went totally wrong
I painted one wall in my kitchen a deep navy blue, thinking it would look modern. After it dried, the whole room felt smaller and way darker than I expected. I learned that a dark color needs a lot more light than I had, even with my three overhead lights. Has anyone else tried a dark feature wall and had to fix it?
Our guest bedroom looked like a dungeon with one dark green wall, so I totally get it (and @nathan_davis is right about it feeling like a cave). I had to add two extra lamps just to make it feel normal again.
My cousin painted his bathroom black once and we had to bring flashlights in there just to find the soap. He ended up repainting it a light yellow a week later.
