To paint a wood accent wall, start by sanding the surface to ensure a smooth finish. Apply a primer, especially if you’re covering dark wood or using a lighter paint color. Once the primer is dry, paint the wall with a roller for large areas and a brush for edges. Consider using a paint sprayer for an even, professional look. Satin or eggshell finishes work well for accent walls, as they offer subtle sheen without being overly glossy. Let the paint dry fully between coats for the best result.
