How to choose the right colors

1. Don’t mix up colors when you’re not sure

The last thing you want to do is mix up colors without any knowledge and make your house like the drawing pad of a first grader. The best thing to do is decide what color tone do you want, natural, cool, warm, etc. and then choose the colors accordingly. Remember that the warm and cool colors must be balanced properly. If you are still confused, call your interior painting Dundalk service and ask for their advice.

2. Choose colors wisely

Don’t paint all of your house in just a single solid color. It would surely save a lot of time and money, but in the long run, it won't be worth. Same colors just make the interior dull and monotonous and cannot match the mood of your entire house.

3. Living room should be calming and peaceful

Don’t you agree with us? We believe that a living room is a place where you must be able to spend quality time with your friends and family. So the interiors of this place should be quiet and relaxed. We suggest you go for light shades of blue, gray or green or a combo of any two. Once you have decided the color, you can experiment with the furniture and upholstery.

If you have an open area, sectioned in your living room or dining area, without any wall partitions, don't think of choosing a different color for it. People usually make this mistake of choosing a different, darker color for such areas which makes it look bad. Try to choose the same color or any matching color to paint such sectioned areas.

4. Attention grabbing centerpieces

If you have any particular furniture piece in your living room which is placed in the center, paint the wall behind it with a different bright color. It would certainly make that piece pop out against rest of the interiors and would grab everyone’s attention.

5. Neutral shades are for long term

If you are planning to let the paint stay there for a long time without seeming like old, invest in some good quality neutral color paints. Neutral colors remain evergreen and go well with every trend.
