Outdated Colors: Paint Over These Colors in Your Home
by Kevin Smith AuthorSome paint colors are particularly popular now, like matte
blue and deep gray. Similarly, some paint colors have gone out of style. Are
any of these paint colors in your home? Interior painters in Alpharetta
recommend that you paint over the following outdated colors.
Off-White
Sort-of white but not quite there, off-white is outdated,
especially if it has yellow tones in it. If you want the clean look of a white
walls and the expansive look it lends to homes, commit to a true white. Your
walls will look much more elegant and spacious. White walls can even make your
wall art look finer.
Beige
A boring color that's now used in the lexicon to refer to
dull things, beige is an outdated color that needs replacing. A soft brown,
it's not necessarily an ugly color. However, it's so dull that it represents a
missed opportunity to add actual character to a room. If you like the natural,
earthy tone of beige, consider repainting your walls something more stylish.
Try a natural wood shade of brown with notes of green.
Red
Sometime in the 1990s, red walls became popular and were
often painted on the walls of studies, dens, and dining rooms. However, red is
a color that has no place in your home. Studies have shown that red has an
aggravating effect on the human mind. It can even make you tense or stressed.
If you like the warm character of red, try an alternative paint color that
won't make you flip out, like desert pink or natural amber.
Baby Blue
Unless you have a child that's still in a crib, it's time to
get rid of baby blue. This color was once popular in bedrooms, bathrooms, and
other rooms that wanted to have a soothing vibe, but its overly light and
pastel tone just isn't in style anymore. Paint over this childish tone with a
metallic light blue, sea blue, or blue-gray, which are more modern
alternatives.
Some strong and vibrant paint colors may need to be primed
before they can be repainted. Also, it may take several coats for some of your
new palettes to set. The best way to get a successful new paint job is to trust
in a professional. Call interior painters in Alpharetta
today to get a fresh and stylish new coat of paint in every room of your
home--or at least where the above outdated colors have held on too long.
