Colour Me, Maybe: Paint Colours that Can Work in Any Room

A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to give any room a whole new personality. Picking the right colour, though, is often a challenge, especially when each room has its own unique character.

A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to give any room a whole new personality. Picking the right colour, though, is often a challenge, especially when each room has its own unique character.

We’ve compiled a list of some neutral colours that can work well with any wall inside any room in your house. These are guaranteed to take your home décor and design up a few notches, no matter what colour your furniture and decorations are.

Silver Linings

Silver is often underrated, but it’s a colour that works well in most rooms. This shade is a chameleon colour, which lets different elements in the room shine. It also adds a touch of luxury to your décor.

The metallic colour adds space and light to any room, while a blue-grey foundation evokes elegant restraint. It’s also a great way to add an old-world, aristocratic style to your home.

Green, Greener, Greenest

Green often scares amateur decorators, but with the right shade, you can turn it into a versatile, vibrant hue.

Herb colours, such as sage and rosemary, for example, have soothing shades, but with just a few key furniture pieces, you can turn a room into a sophisticated showpiece. Green goes well with contrasting colours, and can really help complementary colours shine.

Brown & Blendy

Mix all the primary colours — red, yellow, and blue — and you get brown, a hue that goes with any room and style. The palest hint of beige to the richest chocolate shade can make your home elements shine every step of the way.

Flat paints can give a room a vintage, old-world feel, while semi to high-gloss paints give your space a modern, uptown effect.

Going for Gold

Gold is great if you’re looking for a neutral shade with star power or one that can stand on its own. This luxe shade is as adaptable as beige, but comes with an unbeatable sense of warmth and intimacy.

Victorian stencil shades give a rich appeal, while high-gloss gold and crackle effects give it character.

Beiges, creams, and other neutral colours are anything but boring. You just have to know the proper way of combining it with certain textures and patterns to come up with attractive wall designs that don’t outshine your possessions.

Still not sure if you can pull it off? Get in touch with us now and we’ll be glad to help out.
