Choosing the right color for your walls is important because it can create a vibe that you love. Dream in color when considering what hue is best for you. Did you know the color yellow can give an uplifting feel to a space and create a warmness that’s irresistible? Colors with a cool undertone can offer feelings of calmness if that’s what you seek. Not only do colors impact our emotions, but they can have profound effects on our health. The color blue is said to decrease respiration and lower blood pressure, and it’s best in high-traffic rooms that people spend a lot of time in, according to ArtTherapyBlog.com. So, choosing the right color goes beyond design and décor, it gets at the core of our wellbeing, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

TIP 2: Accent Walls

Accent walls help accentuate a focal point. But choose wisely. Accent walls are best against solid walls. Reconsider making a wall with big windows or doors the accent wall. Instead, use a nearby solid wall to give that splash of color to the room or space. Additionally, don’t do more than one accent wall in a space. Let that one standalone and be the star. But feel free to do accent walls in other rooms in your home if you’re called to do so. Choose a bold color for your accent wall.

TIP 3: Wallpaper Party

Speaking of accent walls, if you’d rather not paint, consider wallpaper, you can choose from a variety of colors, patterns, and textures. You can turn any wall in your home into a superstar! Liven up the entranceway where you hang your coats and place your shoes, or choose a busy pattern to liven up a room in one area like a guest room or bathroom.

TIP 4: Fade to Black

Blacks and navy blues are back, and they feel so elegant. Don’t let these dark hues scare you. They have character and mystery, and when paired just right with your furnishing, these colors can create some of the most luxurious spaces in your home. Paint black on a solid wall near a set of beautiful windows. The contrast between the natural light flooding through the windows and the reflection on that dark wall can create a sensual and comforting feel. Let your imagination run wild.
