I think it’s time to tackle another room in our house. The problem is, I don’t have a very big budget, so trying to get creative. I’m looking for big bang and little bucks (aren’t we all though). I’ve been digging half walls, especially black ones for quite a while now. I love the idea of it being trimmed out with a chair rail, bead board, board and batting or even shiplap – but, that’s an expensive I don’t want to take on right now. So, I’m going to play with paint and create a high contrast, two toned effect with just some blue painters tape.

I REALLY want to do something with our little powder room, so I think this might be a great room to experiment with. My gut says I should go black, because it’s as high contrast as you can go. But, if you keep scrolling, there’s a couple of really great green options as well.

And because green always has my heart, let’s admire these foresty, emerald hues as well. I think if I choose the darkest green out there, it will give me that dramatic effect of the black, but just with a hint of my favorite color.

Just for fun, how about a blush and charcoal combo as well. Isn’t this a sophisticated way to play with pink?

Ok, what do you think? Do you have any theories on whether a high contrast half wall will make the walls and ceiling appear higher or lower? I feel like keeping the lower half dark and the upper half white won’t weigh the room down too much. I’d love to hear what you think.
