10 Practical Tips for Perfect Wall Color
1. Use differences of scale and proportion to create interest
in a room. Using all pale tints in a room can make the colors look weak and dull, using only midtones produces monotony, and
a plan composed entirely of dark shades will feel gloomy. Combinations, however, create a dynamic and refreshing decor.
2. When painting each room a different color, paint spaces between the rooms,
such as foyers, hallways, and staircases, in grayed-down colors to create transitions.
3. Pick a color for your home and use it in different amounts in each room.
It can be the dominant color in one room, the secondary color in another, an accent in the third, and the color of an accessory
in a fourth, for example. This technique will create harmony throughout the house.
4. Light colors are expansive and airy; they make rooms seem larger and
brighter. Dark colors are sophisticated and warm; they give large rooms a more intimate appearance.
5. If you want dark or intensely colored walls, tint the primer the same
color as the finish coat. READ MORE
