Create an Accent Wall

If you are looking for a sure way to transform the look and feel of your living room, an accent wall is a good idea. The best accent walls focus on an architectural feature or draw inspiration from a décor piece in the room. Don’t limit yourself to one single colour while going for an accent wall. You can try stripes on the accent wall and bring together all your favourite colours.

Go for Contrasting Ceilings

One of the most neglected and overlooked surfaces of your room is the ceiling. You can create a statement with a strikingly contrasting ceiling. Opt for a bold, vibrant-coloured ceilings for a neutral schemed room or choose a muted shade if the room has bright-coloured walls. Pick a cool shade like lilac or blue if you have low ceilings and wish to create an illusion of height.

Don’t Stop at Walls, Paint the Floor

Who said you have to stop at your four walls when it comes to painting? Painting the floors is also a great way of changing the overall look of your living space. If you love simplicity, plain white or neutral hues can work well. If you want to go for a quirky look, opt for two contrasting paint shades.

What is a warm colour?

As the name suggests, it makes one think of sunlight, something that is comforting. On the colour wheel it consists of orange, red and yellow or combinations of these with similar tones.

When choosing paint colours to use for the walls of your home, it is important to be clear about the mood you want to set and whether you want it to feel cosy and intimate or light and airy. This is the reason why you need to know the difference between warm and cool colours.

If you are planning to create a soothing and cosy ambience in your room, warm colours are the way to go.

If you assumed that warm colours only mean reds, yellows and oranges, you are mistaken! Any colour that has an undertone of these colours will feel warm. You can achieve the same effect with warm greens, blues and purples as well.

Keep in mind that warm colours are stimulating in nature and complement black, white, greys and neutral colours. This is why adding a warm colour to a room will help it feel cosier. Once you have decided which colour to pick, you can try a design technique and create an accent wall too.

One of the fastest ways to work a warm colour into your living space is by turning it into a statement piece. Very rarely do we think of green as a warm colour. It is, in fact, a great colour to bring warmth to a living space. Team it up with a neutral warm brown or black to create a sophisticated environment.
