Painting the rooms in your house is a simple and inexpensive way to completely change the look of your home. If you’re undecided about what color you want the Painters in Torrance to paint your rooms, follow the guidelines below.
Make A Small Room Appear Larger
If your rooms are small and you want them to appear larger, you can fool the eye with the color of paint you choose. Lighter colors make a room appear bigger and gives it more openness. Some colors to consider include white, cream, pale blues and pale greens. If you want color on your walls, painting your ceiling white will also make the room look larger and brighter.
Bright Colors
If you want to paint the walls of your room a bright color, choose furnishings that will tone the bright color of the room down. For example, if you paint the walls of your living area a dark color that’s bright, white or cream colored furniture will help to strike a balance in the room. Bright walls and bright furnishings will compete with each other and the room will appear erratic.
Flow
As you walk through your house, you want the transition from room to room to flow evenly. Contrasting colors in adjacent rooms will conflict with each other and appear choppy.
Trim Colors
Deciding what color to paint the trim in your room is as important as choosing the room color. The color of your trim can drastically change the look and feel of a room. A trim that’s the same color as your walls gives the room a smooth, continuous look. Trim that’s painted lighter than the walls can make the room look more open and detailed.
Trim that’s darker than the walls may make the room look smaller; however, with the right colors, it will modernize the space and appear soothing.
