Which wall should be the accent wall? (Painting)?

Should it be the first wall you see when you walk into the room, or should it be the wall with the bed against it?

The first wall you see is shorter, has the window, desk, and shelf with birdcage. I feel that painting this wall different/darker will be too busy.

The wall with the bed is longer and will have nothing else, although it's off to the left side of the room. I'm leaning toward painting the bed wall darker, but will it throw off the balance of the whole room? Any suggestions?

    accent walls do their job well when the 'focal point' of a room is on the wall that is different. in this case, the wall would do great if the bed is against it. it gives the room more depth and visual interest.

    happy painting!

    I'd go with the bed wall. Coordinate or match some of the colors in your linens and comforter, etc. Pick a bold color if the other walls are subdued.
