For the interior paint schemes for your house, choice of all family members is important. There are many other things to consider like the room location, number of windows and doors in the room, a garden visible or facing the room that affects the color schemes, the person to use the room, and if the room will be used for guests or will it be a quiet place.
Once these things have been well thought of, you can proceed to choose the interior paint colors that most aptly fit the kind of room that you desire. To make your job easy, here are some of the latest and most popular color schemes, explained in detail.
Neutral Colors
Neutral colors such as beige, gray, tan, and cream, work well with all kinds of furniture, accessories, and flooring. This makes them an ideal choice for ceilings as well as walls.
With neutral paint in the background, bright-colored fabric, curtains, carpets, furniture, and rugs, should be used to brighten up the room’s atmosphere.
Red
Socially active people who entertain guests a lot, must opt for red. Associated with desires, passion, hunger and vitality, it makes for an exceptional choice for dining rooms where food is served or living rooms where parties, social gatherings take place.
There is just one drawback though, and it is that, red being a very bold and dark color, tends to over shadow everything by its sheer intensity. So, the room accessories, furniture, and other stuff will have to be very creatively chosen, if the entire room is painted in red.
Also, red can make the atmosphere of the room very dark and gloomy, so care should be taken that there are enough windows and ventilation in the room to balance that out.
Blue
Someone looking for a peaceful, calming, and relaxing place, should opt for blue color schemes. Blue, the color of the sea and the ocean, has a very cooling and refreshing impact on the surroundings, and thus, is ideal if your home is in a hot area.
Green
Green is a color that signifies nature. It is vibrant and lively, at the same time very calming and soft. It works very well in rooms that are attached to a garden or have a window, which faces a garden. The green on the walls look like an extension of the garden, giving an outdoor feel to the room.
Earthy Colors
Earthy colors such as brown, brick tones, umber and terracotta, lend a kind of security and permanence to the atmosphere of the room.
They give comfort and happiness to the inhabitants of the room like no other color can. Earthy colors, similar to the neutral colors, work well with room furniture and accessories of all kinds and colors.
If the paint colors for all the rooms in the house are chosen with care, people living in the house will enjoy its beauty and their personal comfort for years to come. So, what are you waiting for? Start the process of painting the house by asking the choice of your family members, today!
