Wall Paint Color Ideas

If you are just starting to decorate your room, it’s time to think about what wall paint colors.  Understanding color theory is a good way to help you pull off the ambiance you are looking to feel. There’s a lot to it, but here are a few wall color ideas to get you started.  So often we use the words cool and warm to describe colors.

Cool Toneswall-paint-colors

Cool tones will relax the room, using wall paint colors such as blue, gray, and violet. Drawing from the palette of cools sets a tone in a room that is restful and relaxed.   Cool tones can help a small room feel larger.  It ticks the eye to make the walls look like they are receding, which will make a small room look larger.

So if you use the word relaxed or calm, then a cool color is right for that room.

To create a warm feeling for your room, use warm paint colors such as red, orange, gold, and brown. The subtlety of these colors creates a comforting feeling and can be enjoyed day or night.  If using brighter shades of red or orange remember to balance these colors with a neutral.  Warm colors provide an intimate feeling.  So if cozy and intimate are your words then warm tones are your choice.
