Color Inspiration for Any Room

While everyone has different tastes, it’s no secret that certain colors work best in specific rooms. Your home is what you make it, so spruce up your interior with these paint color suggestions!

Kitchen with bright yellow wall

The kitchen

Whether or not you’re a rock star in the kitchen, it’s still an area that is one of the most frequently used in the home. Deciding what color to make it can often set the tone for the rest of the house, so go with something neutral—such as light gray, white with random pops of color, or classic black-and-white. A semi-gloss or satin finish works best in the kitchen, as any type of matte sheen will require more maintenance.

 

Seafoam and white bathroom

Bathrooms

Create a spa-like atmosphere in your bathrooms with a contemporary neutral palette matched with an accent color. Think seafoam green with bright white, taupe with a light purple or pink, or a modern metallic finish for accessories or hardware, like the sink or trim. For the trim and cabinetry in the bathroom, make sure to choose an acrylic-based paint.

 

Bedroom with deep blue walls

Bedrooms

The bedroom is where you retire at the end of the day and hopefully get some satisfying rest. This is where color is your ally. Many experts say a shade of blue is the way to go, as it naturally welcomes a sense of relaxation. Simultaneously, blue is chic and sophisticated You can achieve this aesthetic by incorporating blues in your bedding, walls, furniture, and accessories. Use light and dark neutrals to create contrast without disturbing your rest.

 

Living room with purple walls

The living room

Go bold in the room where you kick your feet up at the end of the day. Stick with a cooler palette and incorporate patterns in stylish furniture and decor. Splashes of warmer contrast tones will brighten up this space. Ultimately, the living room is your refuge and entertaining hub, so your paint color choices can be as unique as your personality. Classic interior paint with a satin or eggshell finish works best for the living room and bedroom.
