Experiment with dark paint colors to make your home feel alive.
In the old days, white was the predominant paint color of choice. The owners choose the light color to create an illusion of space. It was a favorite because it gave a light and airy feeling to the room. However, things have changed today. People are not afraid to experiment with dark colors. They’re ready to try bold and dramatic hues in their home.
Choose dark colors to create magic
Remember that nothing transforms a room faster than a few cans of paint. You don’t have to choose dull and boring shades for your home. You can liven up the living room, add personality to the bedroom and create a fun atmosphere in the children’s room with the help of dark colors. If you want to create drama in a dull and sterile looking room, you should experiment with dark colors. You will have to make several decisions starting with the choice of the room. What room do you want to paint? Is the living room where you will entertain guests? Or is it the private office in the basement of your house? This is how you can create a beautiful house with the help of bold and bright colors.
- A perfect choice for a large room
If the room is large and you want to create a cozy atmosphere, choose a bright shade for the room. It will make the room perfect for having conversations with friends and spending time with family. A large room can make your guests feel uninvited. Therefore, it is better to choose bright shades of indigo, blue and brown to make a huge room feel intimate.
- Tiny room problems
But remember that if the room is small, you should not paint it in a single dark color tone. It will make you feel claustrophobic. Instead, here are some things you can do to add bright, bold colors to a small room:
- Accent walls are a great way to add color to a small room. If you use a single color for the entire room, it will make the room appear smaller than before. But, using an accent wall will add a pop of color to the room without making it stuffy.
- Add neutral tones like black, gray, and white to provide a break from bright colors in the room. If you choose to paint the furniture a bright green, choose understated browns or whites to harmonize the color scheme.
- If you want to paint the entire room in a dark shade, be sure to accessorize the room with light colors. For example, if you want to paint your bathroom in a dark blue tone, you can go for light-colored vanity cabinets.
- Also, use lighting fixtures to create a contrasting effect in the room.
Experimenting with a dark color in your home is a welcome change from drab paint colors. It will make your home feel alive without having to spend a fortune on an expensive home renovation project. If you find choosing dark colors for your home a risky project, hire an experienced painter to help you. Take the advice of color consultants and decide on a color scheme that suits your personality and adds personality to the room.
