I have a light living room with 3 walls; it opens into the kitchen. It faces west. There is a full tall cathedral wall, another the same that tapers down to the front wall which is all the same height and has a fireplace and 2 windows. This wall does not have much wall space, it is all window and fireplace.
Which of these 3 walls should I paint darker? It's not a big room, but it is bright because it opens into the kitchen. I may not be describing this right, but I guess my main question is: I have 3 walls and I want to paint them; 2 one color and 1 another color. Do I paint the shorter wall with the windows darker or lighter then the other 2? I do not have a photo at this time. If you picture a room with a cathedral ceiling and put a wall up in the middle so you have a 1/2 cathedral that is my living room not big, but with a high ceiling in half.

I am not sure, but I have seen a room with a cathedral ceiling and the wall opposite the windows was painted in a beautiful red as the accent wall. The red was not a bright red but rather a deep red. It was stunning. A good way to get opinions is at your paint store.
A professional painter recently painted the walls in our office with an accent wall. We were told that the wall opposite of the entrance is the one that should be painted with the accent color so that when a person walks into the room, it's the first thing that is seen.
