So, you have chosen to paint a room in your house a different color. Your first step is finding a color that expresses not only your personality and style, but also sets the tone you want the room to convey when someone walks into it. Going to Home Depot or Lowes and picking out the perfect paint color in the sea of paint swatches can be an extremely daunting and overly colorful task. Sky Blue? Mauve? Bubblegum Pink? The possibilities seem endless, but these tips will help you brush off those worries and paint your way to greatness.
You’re the
Inspiration
Do you have a painting that you’ve always wanted to feature
in your living room? Base the wall color you choose on your inspiration piece,
and use both to compliment each other! Once
your color and your inspiration are chosen, creativity will flow to all corners
of the room.
99 Red Balloons
Different colors set different moods in a room, making
people feel certain ways. If you want to wake up every morning with confidence,
paint your bedroom orange or red. Your office could do with some blue as it
allows you to focus and make decisions. Splash yellow on the walls of your
living room to help stimulate conversation, or use pink to create a sense of
comfort and welcoming. Check out a color emotion chart and see which color you’re
feeling.
50 Shades of Today
The best part of paint is that it is not permanent. If you
don’t like it today, you can change it tomorrow. So don’t be afraid to take a
risk and go with something dramatic, complimented by subtle accessories. Using
the same color in every room in your house shows continuity, but don’t be
afraid to mix it up. Throw in a splash of color in your powder room and make it
stand out against the rest of your house.
Paint It Black
Looking to make a statement with neutral colors? Painting with neutrals will always be on trend simply because they never betray you. But try using black with your neutrals to mix it up and add a chic look to any room in the house. By complementing neutrals with bright, dramatic or accented accessories, any room in your house can instantly look more stylish and modern. In addition to regular black paint, consider painting a wall in your kitchen, playroom or basement with chalkboard paint to create a wall that your kids are supposed to draw on!
