Modern homeowners, either moving into a new home or just looking to spruce things up, might consider repainting their interior walls. But most people wouldn’t know where to start their make over. With so many paint colors to choose from that could make or break a room, a little bit of guidance is needed for a modern home. Whether it’s age-old white, or something more colorful, each can change the feel of a room instantly.
Red
When used in the wrong room, red can have an oppressive undertone, but an interior wall in a room with plenty of space and light can bring an energetic and radiant feeling to the room, especially when combined with brown undertones,
White
We couldn’t have this list without having white on it. White is a color that never goes out of fashion and can be used on nearly any wall. When in doubt, white seldomnly detracts from a room. There’s a reason it’s also the most common wall color.
Black
Just like red, black has to be used cautiously. It can easily make a room feel heavy and dark. But in the right room, black can create a modern chic that works well in a kitchen with appliances that have a brushed steel look. Black paint also goes well with white skirting and ceilings.
Gray
Gray when used improperly can give a dated and worn appearance to a room, but when used in context to what kind of fashion choice the room is, it can pull objects in the room together and give a modern and simplistic feeling overall.
Deep-Gray
Deep-gray comes in many twists, like sharkskin, which has a bit of green mixed into the paint. Deep-grays with a bit of color can be used surprisingly well with pastel colors. Not only can deep-grays be used for the interior of your home, but they can also be used for the outside as well.
Soft Blue
Soft blue is a calming and serene color, perfect for bedrooms or bathrooms. It creates a tranquil atmosphere, making spaces feel open and airy. Blue also has a cooling effect, which is ideal for rooms with a lot of natural sunlight.
Warm Beige
Warm beige is a versatile and neutral color that works well in living rooms and common areas. It provides a cozy and inviting ambiance without being too overpowering. Beige pairs well with a variety of furniture styles and color accents, making it a flexible choice for many interiors.
Sage Green
Sage green is a soothing, earthy color that brings a touch of nature indoors. It’s ideal for kitchens, dining rooms, or any space where a peaceful and fresh vibe is desired. This muted green is subtle enough to act as a neutral while adding a bit of character.
Muted Yellow
Muted yellow adds warmth and brightness to any room without being overwhelming. It’s perfect for spaces that need a bit of cheerfulness, like a kitchen or a playroom. The gentle tone of muted yellow energizes a room while still being easy on the eyes.
