Color is a very powerful thing and the use of certain colors can be found everywhere. It can change our mood or stimulate the senses. If you are outgoing, bold living room colors suit you best. At the same time if you are the shy type, passive colors are your thing. It is important to use the right combination of colors to make your room more inviting and relaxing. If you can, do not use more than two colors in any given room. One color as the main color and the other as the trim. If you really want to choose the best combination of colors for your living room you should try using a color palette. They can easily be found at a local paint store and someone is always willing to assist you if needed. Remember that different colors are associated with different moods. Light blue brings tranquility, purple is power or royalty and yellow brings happiness.
So when you have washed and rinsed all the paint work down and stripped any old paper off the walls you will be ready to begin the decorating. You will have spent hours at the local DIY store collecting color charts to make sure that the colors you choose are right for the room and you almost certainly will have a number of empty tester pots that you have used to paint one foot square samples of color dotted about the walls. You will want to ensure the finished look when the paint is dry is to your satisfaction so the tester pots are a good idea. The lighting in a room will vary the shade on the walls and often the biggest challenge is selecting a scheme that compliments the natural light the room has to offer. Creating a board known as a mood board is a great way to actually see how the colors look together and visualise the finished room. It allows you to really see which colors clash or complement each other and avoids expensive mistakes. When you are selecting accessories to compliment the scheme make sure you have your mood board at hand, a miniature handbag sized version is a good idea for shopping trips.
Though a lot of people find it not appropriate to use colorful paints for their houses, an artist know for her illuminated furnishings line pushed people to make a room for vivid colors inside the house. In todays abode, color plays a considerable role in accentuating interiors and design areas of importance in rooms that are out of proportion. Structural features can be used to be effective in order to create a space through the use of color. Bookcases, doorways and windows can sum up more interest to walls full of colors. To stress importance, according to a Sherwin-Williams employee, she discloses that it is good to paint doorways a little more light or dark than the wall.It maybe quite a transformation but it gives attention to detail.Another example would be to use cooper finish for translucency thus providing good reflection to the structure.
But be cautious to use brown colors in a small living room as it may dominate the room, oppressing the colors of your furniture and accents. Shades of Tan or taupe will work, although. Reds: The color Red is a classic shade because they are so bold, vivacious and daring. Reds work especially well with light colored furniture, making it stand out even more. Still, people like to use red as an accent color with just a hint of that shade, more than a main wall color. But nowadays, a few people dare t o paint their walls red too. Blues: Blues are cool and most often related with French country, Victorian or marine designs. In the more traditional uses, blue is great for expressing formality due to its consoling nature. Nonetheless, blue suggests countless different hues that can change outlook as well as atmosphere.
If you want to be daring, one can use two different colors. For instance, a bookcase can be painted in green and placed in a room with blue walls. However, there is also continuity throughout the house if same colors are used. A room with panels gives a chance to use opposite colors. One can also use paints to give effect to the panels if it is not there through the use of one color on the bottom third of the wall and another one on the upper wall. Creating an "accent wall" in clear colors for out of proportioned rooms can give a concurrent effect. However, if you wish to have your home an emotional effect, you might as well paint one big wall, start on each corner going to the middle, and leave a vertical space enough for an artwork to be hanged.
Home decorating is a major undertaking and not just about the living room color scheme. Before you start, make sure you have totally de-cluttered the room and thrown out all the unnecessary accumulations of the previous decor. All your furniture and carpets will need to be protected and whilst in an ideal world you would all have the room empty, in reality you probably spend time moving the furniture around the room to access all areas. If you imagine you are professional home decorators it will help you to think about how to prepare your room. Tape around the floor at the edges of the skirting boards to ensure no paint creeps onto your beautiful flooring, and if it does happen to you must clean it immediately, do not leave it for later on, or it will probably be there forever. Using tape to ensure you get straight well defined edges where colors meet in the corners will ensure a professionally finished look, also use this tip when painting ceilings to ensure you do not inadvertently paint the walls.
