How To Choose The Best Interior Paint Color Schemes

October 21, 2012 Loren

 

Color is considered as one of the most important aspects in home decoration. Color has the function to create the atmosphere in the room. Whether you want the room to be lively or soft, the color can help you to create the atmosphere. Many home designers recommended you to use the matching color since it will create balance and unify the entire house. If you are planning to design the interior paint color schemes for your home, you are recommended to find the inspiration first and consult with the family members and home designers before applying the idea.

The first thing to do in designing the interior paint color schemes is deciding the rooms which you will paint. It is important for you to consider whether the room will use the continuous color scheme or change the color from one room to another. If you are choosing the continuous color scheme, you are recommended to pick one color or a set of colors before applying those into various rooms.

You need to change the shade slightly. Use the lighter or darker tone with the same color. As another option, you can change the amount of that color used in each room. For example, you can use the color as the main color in the living room but you add the accent color only in the bedroom.

For the people who do not want to use the same colors for every room but still want to get some unity, you are recommended for you to choose the same color scheme for the neutral rooms. Those neutral rooms are including the hallways and other rooms which do not serve specific purpose including bedroom and kitchen.

In choosing the interior paint color schemes, you have to remember the purpose of every room. For the rooms which have the relaxation purpose, you should choose the cool and relaxing colors. Those colors are including blue, lavenders, or white. If you want to get the warmer atmosphere for bedroom, you should choose soft hues instead of primary colors such as bright red. Red and other bright colors are more recommended for high traffic areas. Many designers recommend you to use the red color in the kitchen since it can encourage the healthy appetite. You can use the single focal wall of bright color to give the charge every time you see it.

You need to select three colors for your interior paint color schemes and three shades of the same color. You are recommended to follow the 60-30-10 rule. It means a color should be used to cover 60 percent of the room, the second color is covering 30 percent of the room, and the last color covers 10 percent of the room. For example, if you are using the blue color for 60 percent of the room portion, you can use the brown or dark blue furniture for 30 percent of the room while white as 10 percent can come in various small accessories such as lamps.

You have to find the fabric or other accessories which have the colors which match with your interior paint color schemes. Those are including the striped pillow, couch, or table clothes. It will not be difficult for you to choose the best color for your room décor.
