Choosing the perfect shade for your walls is undoubtedly a rather complicated process.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , told us what factors should be taken into account to simplify the task.
1. Determine the overall color palette.
Before you start choosing the shade of the walls, decide on the overall color scheme of the room. Consider the color combinations that you like and choose the main color that will determine the overall atmosphere in the room. For example, you can choose calm and gentle shades for the bedroom, and bright and saturated ones for the kitchen.
2. Consider lighting.
Lighting can have a significant impact on how colors are perceived, so when choosing a wall color, consider what kind of lighting will be used in the room. If there is little natural light in the room, choose lighter shades that will reflect light and visually enlarge the space.
3. Combine colors.
Ideally, the tone you choose to paint your walls should match other interior elements, such as furniture, textiles and accessories.
4. Try on a small area.
Before you paint all the walls in your chosen color, apply the paint to a small area of the wall and evaluate how it looks.
5. Use color combinations.
If you are unsure what tone to use for your walls, try using several colors at once to create a harmonious and stylish interior.
