Painting is a great way to update any room at a low cost. Different hues have the ability to affect your mood in different ways; with the right colour combinations, the interior of your home can be vibrant and exciting, while simultaneously being calming and refreshing.
If you’re looking to do some property upkeep and create a sanctuary, consider these five paint colours.
1. Lilac and lavender
Lavender is known as a soothing aromatic, but as a colour, this light-purple shade can soften a room, creating the perfect place to relax. If you gear towards a warmer shade, try lilac, a pale purple with a pinkish tinge.
These colours can add comfort and calm, or luxury and regality. Play around with them to achieve the mood and feel you desire!
2. Light green
Shades of green can cool down your surroundings and help you destress, with tones such as forest green invoking the tranquility of nature, bringing life to a room while still making you feel grounded.
A gentle, pastel shade is the perfect choice for those who’d like to return home to wind down after a long day.
3. Light blue
Light blue paint can make a room feel airy, a small room appear larger, and a room with limited natural light feel brighter. To create a cozy room, balance your light blue walls with warm-coloured interior decor and furnishing.
Contrary to dark blues, which evoke sadness, light blue is a relaxing colour that puts people at ease. Explore warmer shades of blue for family and communal areas such as the living room and kitchen.
4. Pale pinks
You wouldn’t normally associate pinks – a shade of red, which promotes energy – as being relaxing, but painting your walls a pale or dusty tint of pink can help reduce tension, and actually help you cool down if you’re feeling angry.
It’s a soothing and nurturing colour, which is why it’s perfect for nurseries, regardless of your baby’s gender.
5. Greys
Greys are the most flexible colour scheme in the world of interior paint, where even having grey undertones in your blues and greens makes a whole lot of difference to a room.
Its minimalistic appeal can make your home look classy instantly. Warmer greys have a casual, organic feel, so use it in any space for a chic-urban look!
