5-ka practical tips for choosing the perfect color for your walls

Good afternoon dear friends!

painting walls - this is an excellent and cost-effective way not only to "revive" the interior of the apartment, but also to give it style and originality. But often at the same time there is a dilemma, what color or shade to choose for their future walls?!

Agree, how you dress says a lot about you. The same can be said about the decor and design of your home interior. Therefore, be inspired by their daily lives, personal tastes, preferences and personal style to choose exactly the color paletteThat would really fit your lifestyle! However, in addition to personal taste, there are a number of design recommendations for the choice of color for the walls. That is why, today, I picked up 5 workers' councilsWhich will help you in this difficult, as it seems at first glance, actually.

Oh yes, I almost forgot, some people like "tasty", vivid, saturated colors and shades, but use them to paint their walls is not possible for several reasons. What do they ask? Use them in your interior with the help of small strokes and accents

(For example, pieces of furniture, decorative accessories and so on. D.). The main thing - is balanced to connect them with the entire interior of his house.

1.Look for color elements present in the space. Keep in mind that the shade of the floor, furniture and accessories also plays an important role in the selection of colors. For example, if your furniture is fairly light, you can easily use a darker shade to play on the contrast and vice versa.

The main thing in the design always remember ratio: 60/30/10 (basic background / secondary / or decorative color of the walls / furniture, floor / accessories and decorative elements).

Always try to choose a relatively neutral color for the walls, because the less likely that it goes out of fashion, or just tired of you. If you want to bring a brighter color and shade in your interior, put it on one wall or part of wallTo create emphasis.

2.Take into account the size of the room and the desired atmosphere. It is well known that light colors and tones create visual illusion volume (size), While the dark color palette visually reduces the space. For example, if the room you want to repaint the already narrow enough (corridor, WC), would be more correct to use a light color.

You also need to take into account the atmosphere you want to create in your room. In this case, dark colors can play a role and make your space more intimate, cozy and enveloping (bedroom). Therefore, it all depends on what you want to feel going into this room.

3.Do not forget to take into account the natural light. Remember! That the amount of natural light in the room greatly affects the color of the walls. So, if your room is quite dark, choose a lighter shade. If, however, your room is filled with natural light, it is appropriate to use, and darker, more saturated colors. Indeed, the perception of colors varies depending on the lighting.

It is advisable to select multiple samples paint and put them on the wallTo get a 100% view of the final result.

4.The homogeneity of the color palette. I recommend to make a visual connection between the rooms of your home. Using a relatively simple and neutral color palette, which will serve as the perfect backdrop (basis) for the entire interior of the apartment in general.

This principle is particularly applicable to the open spaces (flat-studio), as the general form must be balanced and harmonious.

5.In case of uncertainty - select gray! Light gray color is suitable for almost all styles of interior, and in general to all! And if in doubt, use a lighter shade of gray to create a neutral background. And then you can spend a bit of time and money trying to finalize its interior and adding color it with the help of furniture, decorative items and accessories!

Believe me - it works almost correctly!

And what color the walls are most like you? I will be glad to your comments!
