Choosing the Most Complementary Paint Colors for Every Room

October 20, 2016 By Rick Thomas

choosing-most-complementary-paint-colors-for-every-roomColor is a hugely important aspect in our everyday life. Psychologist and marketing experts agree that paint colors affect mood and temperament. The color red evokes a sense of energy, passion and urgency – think about clearance stickers in clothing stores. Blue is linked with feelings of trust and dependability – hospitals, insurance companies and spas often choose this color. Similarly, paint colors have a strong influence on your home decorating ideas. Not every room is created equally, and it’s important to be intentional about wall paint color selection to optimize room size, mood and function. Here are a few painting tips to help you decide the most complimentary paint colors for each room in your home:

Size of the Room

The size and dimension of the room play a huge role in determining complimentary paint colors. If you are looking for a color to highlight a certain angle or fixture in a smaller room, consider a monochromatic color scheme to get the effect. Choosing to utilize bold paint color choices in your trim can also greatly affect the dimensionality of the room.

Desired Mood

Are you looking for a tranquil bedroom or a warm, energetic living room? Each space in your home has a specific function, and choosing specific paint colors for each room is important. Consider using a cool blue from Benjamin Moore paint colors for a bedroom or bathroom, or a vibrant orange paint color for accent wall paint in the living room.

Windows and Lighting

How much natural light hits each room in the house? If your kitchen has a lot of natural light, be aware that the paint color will remain true throughout the day. For a classic approach to interior design ideas, consider painting kitchen cabinets a contrasting color, while keeping a neutral color on the walls.

Color Terminology

It’s important that you understand the terms used when describing color as you select colors for your home. Hue is the name of the color, and the value of the hue describes how light or dark that specific color is. Saturation and Intensity are also used to describe the various weights and shade of a specific hue – chances are that you will not want to use a highly intense paint color in a small room.

Always test your choices. After you’ve evaluated size, mood and function of your room, pick up a few samples and test them out throughout the home. At Bluenote Painting, we know that choosing the best paint colors for your home can be a trying task. Contact us for a quote on your northeast Oregon home and to utilize our paint color experts.
