How to Choose The Wall Colors In Your Home

The colors in your home can affect so much more than the style. They can change the way you feel while living in your home - which is why choosing the colors in your vacation home are so important! When you come back to your vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks, you may want to feel invigorated, relaxed, or maybe even fun. No matter what you want to get out of your vacation home vibe, here are a few tips to help you choose the colors in your space.

Creating an Elegant Look

Neutral colors are always a win, especially in the bedroom. When going for a neutral look, that doesn’t mean you are choosing a simple white or beige, because varying shades of neutral colors such as almond with red toned browns can be luxurious and subtle. Plus, you can add splashes of color with the furniture and accessories! Just remember, the lighter colors, the more spacious the room will appear! Using varying shades of rust, mahogany, or garnet can provide elegance and an earthiness and richness.

Creating a Subtle Look

A monochromatic approach can really add a soothing touch to a room. You can use subtle colors like blue, lavender, pinks, sage, soft yellows - these all create a romantic feeling of tranquility. You can select a darker color for the wall, and then another in the same color scheme but different shad and slightly lighter for the trim. Of course, you don’t have to fall into the old rule of one shade and one texture. You can really make an impact in your space by just changing textures and colors in a room.

Creating a Vibrant Look

If you want to add a real POP to your room, vibrant colors are for you! Look for oranges, gold, reds, and dark purples. You can also complement these colors by selecting colors that are next to either like gold and orange and then one from the opposite side of the color wheel like purple. Black and red can really create a stand out contracts, and also lends to an Oriental look.

Don’t Forget Your Ceilings

You can make a high ceiling feel lower by painting it a darker shade. In the same way, you can make a room feel larger by selecting a lighter color for your ceilings than your walls. You can also add a tint of color to your ceiling paint to tie it in subtly.
