By painting one wall of a room a deeper color, Cheryl Eisen virtually creates a special area within it. She advises, “If you are putting a little desk or a dining area against a wall in a larger room, making it darker will ground it and make it feel like a separate space.” Add a mirror for increased depth. This wall was painted with Ben Moore chalkboard paint.
