Tips on choosing the right wall color
One of the most important things in design, whether it is clothing, cars or decor, is definitely color. Choosing the right color for any of these things is difficult because of the variety of colors and their nuances offered. When it comes to colors for your interior wall, they can make or break the look of your home. Colors affect our perception of the space around us, and our choice of color reflects whether we want the room to shine with coziness, energy, grandeur, classics and so on.
Be inspired
Think about the colors that make you feel good. Find inspiration somewhere in your house. Is there any furniture that you think is special? Some artwork that has interesting color patterns? Maybe a rug, some home accessories that will serve as an inspiration for the main color choice? Take some style items, such as your favorite shawl, sofa pillow or tablecloth, and choose a shade that would compliment your wall. Use these ideas to create your personal style.
Take baby steps
Even if you think you have chosen the right color, it may not be safe until you see what it looks like on a wall. To minimize the risk of errors, experiment with the color in slightly less frequently used rooms, such as a hall, powder room or a pantry. If you like the result, there is no reason not to use the same color in other rooms.
Mind the Mood of the Room
When weighing approximately the appropriate color for the room, keep in mind that they may fit. Do you want the space to be energetic, calming and resting, formal, orderly or dramatic? There is a suitable group of colors for all desired moods. The basic rule is that soft, neutral and cool colors create a restful and soothing atmosphere, while stronger colors create a dramatic and energetic atmosphere.
Use the power of light
The color may look different due to different amounts of light to which a room is exposed. If there is plenty of natural light in the room, the paint really looks like the one chosen from the palette. On the other hand, fluorescent flash will change the color of the color and give it a bluish tone. Glowing light source emphasizes yellow and warm tones.
Test your choice
You can play by testing different colors in certain areas on your wall or on a billboard. According to high-ranking suppliers of premium colors, a sought after look is recently stronger colors on the ceiling that will give dramatic style throughout the room. A great trend when it comes to painting the interior also takes risks with the colors not every day, such as chocolate brown, olive green and basically all the strong vibrant colors that can fit well with your chosen mood and furniture in your room.
Different rooms make a composition
It creates a good sense of texture when colors just flow from one room to another, creating a perfect "canvas art" atmosphere. When you open the door to a room you can see one piece of the other, and so on. And that is why you should not choose colors for your rooms separately, but create a coherent look. On the other hand, there is no reason to use the same color in any room that would be boring. On the contrary, you should use a variety of colors, but they are meant to complement each other.
Follow the color selection tips, but don't forget that color choice for your home is a personal decision after all, it's a space where you spend most of your time, so don't blindly follow tips and tricks, but choose something that is "out of the book" , but without neglecting your own taste.
