Got Stripes? Interior accent colors that work.

I was looking through some images of Dallas interior painting projects that our company has recently completed… I found a common thread among the pictures that I liked. Many of the rooms had accent stripes painted either as a border near the ceiling or at around four to five feet high.

One thing to consider from a homeowner’s perspective is that if you want an accent wall or stripe it is a marginal cost increase when added to the cost of interior painting. For instance, the price for painting your child’s room a light blue will cost you $250 to $350 for a contractor to do the job (that price should include the cost of paint in my opinion). So you want to add an accent wall or stripe, add another $75 and that should take care of the cost of a quart of paint and the additional labor.
