Many people head to the shops and spend a ton of money on new accessories, décor pieces, and furniture to freshen up their living space. However, the best way to give your space a new life is often the cheapest—paint! It’s amazing how a fresh coat of trendy paint can completely transform your room. So, choose your shade, roll up your sleeves and get paintin’!
Got room for something sweet and summery?
If you want to give your living space a chic, modern and sweet update, opt for the new pastel craze—ice cream colors! They are very gentle, fun and feminine and can go well with any décor style. Probably the best way to incorporate this palette into your home is to start slowly by repainting only your door frames and doors or your wooden floors. If you opt for a complete pastel look, you risk ending up with a space that is too sweet and girly, so be careful! Another great vibe you can achieve with paint is a chill coastal look that’s perfect for the summer. Adore your walls in relaxing teal, ocean or sapphire blue and finish the look with a few sea-inspired art pieces and decoration. This look also mixes well with natural linen and rattan.
Royal purple
If you want to boost luxury and make your royal affinities and aspirations stand out, opt for purple! For centuries, this color was reserved only for crème-de-la-crème, so what better way to glam up your space than with royal purple. Choose a chalky matt finish that has a very modern vibe and looks great with most other colors and interior design styles. Bold colors such as this can be quite hard to paint so that it looks neat and clean, so you better call the professionals. Luckily, there are companies that offer fast and quality painting services that will help you achieve a perfect coverage for a very reasonable price. Tell your painters to add some grays and off-whites along with the purple, and you’ll have a very seductive yet elegant living space.
Go au naturel
If pastels are too feminine and purples too bold, you can go back to basics with soft, natural tones between browns and grays. These colors will give your space a warm and elegant look that plays well with almost all other colors. This basically means you can be as adventurous and experimental with accents and décor as you like without risking any hits and misses. Go with blues and mimosa yellows for a nice pop of color.
Opt for a stylish accent wall
If you’re looking to strike a nice middle ground between being bold and subtle, you can opt for painting one accent wall. Pick one of your walls and give it a new shade of your favorite color. The best thing is that you can go as bold as you wish and you’ll still not overwhelm the space and make it look ridiculous! Take your accent shade and use it on a few pieces throughout the space to tie everything together.
Try this trick for tiny spaces
If you want to treat your small living space to a fresh paint job, try this neat trick to make the room feel bigger. Match the ceiling, walls and floor paint to create a streamlined look that almost erases all room boundaries and makes your furniture and decoration float in space. The best shade for achieving this interesting and impressive look is brilliant white. This shade will not only give you a beautiful and clean background but also direct extra attention to the rest of your non-white furniture and make it stand out even more.
You don’t need a fortune to give your living space an extreme transformation. All you need is some trendy and chic paint and you’re all set!
