Colour Suggestions for Walls So as To Enhance Home Interiors

The writing is most certainly on the wall! The best way to boost your interior decor scheme at home is to get new colours on your walls. Paying close attention to the colour scheme on your walls is the simplest method to create a great impression on your guests.

 

• Colours play a pivotal role in deciding your moods. However, it helps to understand what colour to use in which space – using red in a bedroom may not be a good idea because the colour is stimulating. Using soft colours like a light blue, white, beige, grey or neutral tones work well in a bedroom.

 

• This is not to say you should shy away from bright and bold hues. You could use them as highlighters for certain areas of the home that you want to draw people’s attention to. It could be an archway, or a niche in the wall – you could use a warm bright shade there even as the rest of the space has a neutral tone.

 

• If you have a smallish space at home but want to make it look bigger than it is? Using the right colour scheme can go a long way. A dark colour on the wall gives the illusion that it is closer to you, while a light colour or soft tone will make it look like the wall is far away.

 

• If you want to make your space look big and also make it seem like it has a lot of height from the ceiling, make sure to paint the ceiling wall white or a soft colour. Also, using fewer contrasting colours helps walls merge, and you don’t notice the point at which the wall ends and the ceiling begins.

 

• What kind of a personality you are goes a long way in helping you and your designer agree on the colour scheme. If you want a formal look to your space, you could use blue (navy shade), but if you want to make it zesty, then you could choose lemony or aqua colours.

 

• Typically, colour schemes are tonal, complementary or harmonious. When you follow a tonal scheme, you can pick one colour, and use it in different tones of the same colour across a space. If you want a harmonious calming scheme, you could choose colours that are adjacent to one another on the colour wheel. This scheme makes the space look calm and soothing. If you want a complementary look, you could use contrasts to add zing to your space.

 

• Do you work from home? Then, you should paint your work corner walls a calm tone of green or blue, so they help you stay focused and productive.

 

Even as you use the right colours for your home interiors, don’t forget that lighting schemes complement colour patterns, so plan your lighting accordingly. Get the help of an expert if you are unsure of colour schemes. Make your home the best place to be in!
