In photography classes you learn, “color is seductive.” It is. Color adds an entirely new element to a space. It can be aesthetically pleasing and attractive. However, it can also clash and trigger unexpected emotions.
So, when choosing a paint color for a room in your home, how do pick the right one? Don’t fear! Rainbow Paint is here.
Experiment First
Before you spend money on paint, paint an entire space, and hate the color, test out the color or colors that you are interested in in a smaller space. Pick a patch of a wall that you know you can paint over or a small room like an accent wall or guest bathroom.
Start With What You Already Have
Pick your favorite large rug, a piece of artwork, or maybe that accent table you love. Choose interior color ideas that compliment that piece. Test them out, and narrow your selections down to a color scheme or two to three colors that you think will work for that space.
Lights, Paint, Action
You’ve got to pay attention to the light in the room. If you’ve got a big window, your room will get a ton of natural light and best display your paint colors. However, if you have fluorescent lighting, your paint will have a cooler blue tone. If you have incandescent lights, the warm orange and yellow tones of the paint colors will stand out more.
Next to a door or window, bold bright interior color ideas may be too much. In a room with no windows, consider lamps. There are so many types of lamps of all shapes and sizes that can serve as practical decor and literally light up your room.
Texture Adds Depth
Beyond the 2D painted walls of your room, you need a little depth to the space. With different paint techniques, you can add that depth directly to your wall. Not feeling that adventurous? Try a textured wallpaper. What, wallpaper? Yup. Wallpaper is back.
Furniture, lamps, blinds and shades, and decor will also help add depth. Try furniture with different finishes. For example a glossy finished wooden table paired with a rustic lamp can complement each other well while also adding various textures to your space.
