Are you looking for ways to update the design of your home? If so, you should include interior painting as part of your home renovation plan. The color of the walls can make a significant impact on the overall look and feel of your living spaces.
With so many colors and shades available, it can be difficult to choose the best ones to complete the palette. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Greater Rockwall shares tips and tricks every homeowner should know when updating your interiors with a new color scheme.
Use the 60-30-10 Rule
When it comes to decorating your space, remodeling experts recommend the 60-30-10 rule. It involves dividing the colors into different components – 60 percent of a dominant color on the walls, 30 percent of a secondary color on upholstery, and 10 percent of accent color on accessories. This way, your living spaces can look cohesive and balanced.
Go for Neutral Paint Colors
Many homeowners assume painting their interior walls with neutral colors has to have a laid-back design. However, you can still get creative with how to use these particular colors.. A striped wall in neutral colors, for example, adds beauty and personality but still keeps the room looking relaxed. Neutral wall color with a pastel ceiling is also a great way to amp up the color without compromising the relaxing energy of the space.
Flow Color Throughout Your Home
Flowing paint color throughout the rooms not only creates a soothing vibe but also gives the illusion of a larger space. This can be extremely useful if you have a small home. To use flowing colors in your home remodel, choose a neutral paint color as your signature hue. Each room may have accent colors, or you can incorporate the same accents across all rooms but in different amounts.
Try a Lighter or Darker Shade
One of the easiest ways to choose the best interior color is to start with the colors you love. But what if your favorite color doesn’t fit well with your interiors? Before you abandon your paint color choice too quickly, try a lighter or darker version of it. Although many paint colors appear on a paint strip in gradual shades, you can also ask your paint store to customize it by percentages of light or dark shades.
Bring the Outside In
Bringing the outside in is a popular inspiration for interior color schemes. These are calming and peaceful. Whether you choose forest green or soft blues. If you’re interested in looking outside for ideas, don’t forget to sample your paint colors at all times of the day and night and with the window treatments closed and open. Doing so gives you the most realistic view of your possible choices.
