Whole House Paint Color Ideas

Are you looking to change the color of your home but don’t know where to start? It can feel daunting to create a color palette that will work with what you have, make the entire home have a good flow and feel connected. This beautiful family home features neutral interiors with a restful color palette that can easily be replicated in many homes across the country.

What I love the most about this home is its simple approach to design, decor and color. As you will see, this is a house where many of us can see similarities with our own home, from its floor plan to its size. I wanted to show that we don’t need to own a multi-million dollar home to have it done right.

When choosing the colors for each room of your house, start with its exterior. Make sure that all the colors complement each other. If you like to add something interesting, choose an unexpected paint color for your front door. This always add personality to any exterior. When it comes to the interior, choose colors that make you feel good. Neutral paint colors always give you the opportunity to play with the decor more. Choose a color that can work with seasonal decors such as Christmas, fall and summery colors.

This family home will present you with a very current color palette. Take notes on wall, trim and exterior paint color. You might want to save this information for when you’re ready to pick the right color for your home.

I am also adding some images with all the details specified for easy pinning. Look for them under “Home Bunch Easy Pin!” and pin away! I hope you enjoy the post!

If you're feeling adventurous, color-block with two bold shades. Follow this living room by Katie Brown as an example, using the fresh color combination of fire engine red and violet in this space. And see how the pillows tie everything together so nicely?

Hand-painted murals can mimic the effect of wallpaper by introducing a story and pattern. But it's also safer inn splash zones like the kitchen, where wallpaper may feel a little more risky for some. Here, the lavender swirls of paint on a buttercream backdrop complement the elaborate blue chandelier, too. Then the classic, neutral cabinets and island ground the space.

In this modern yet retro bedroom designed by Atelier ND, the walls are painted in Pontefract by Paint & Paper Library for a bold and rich mood.

Colors in the interior: how to choose

One of the first and far from the easiest steps in design: we share ways that will help you choose colors for the interior.

The choice of colors for the interior is one of the main issues that arise at the very beginning of the creation of a design project. Even a clear understanding of what color you want to see in each room is clearly not enough: you need to choose a shade, similar colors, accents and harmoniously combine them. In this article, we will try to help you with a choice that you will not regret after the repair. nine0003

  • Checking colors in real conditions

The color scheme in the interior - what dictates the style?

Style and color go hand in hand in our passions: often we ourselves do not even know what we choose in the first place. However, if you have a precise style, this can help you a lot with your color scheme:

  • Styles such as shabby chic, vintage, Provence, French have light pastel colors without too bright accents.
  • Classic style, art deco, modern also do not differ in brightness, but can have darker and more saturated colors and high contrast.
  • Scandinavian style has a light and natural base, but does not exclude bright accents.
  • Loft and English style love to play with muted dark hues. nine0012
  • Pop art, kitsch, retro and boho chic are the brightest and most colorful interior styles.
  • Contemporary, eco-style, country and chalets will be based on the natural colors of wood, stone, sand, foliage.

Read in detail about the chosen style and study the photos of the interiors - maybe there is a ready-made solution. Do not forget that with good taste you can mix elements of different styles, creating interesting mixes: the choice of color in this case can also be a field for experimentation. nine0003

If choosing a style is difficult, read: "How to choose an interior style for a future apartment."

Desired mood and color preferences

Each of us has colors that we prefer more. It is a pity, but not all of them are suitable for the basis of the interior. For example, if you love purple, you should not make purple walls: you will quickly get tired, and the color will begin to psychologically press. You can always stop at light walls and a purple chair or carpet. nine0003

It's no secret that psychologists advise choosing calm, light and cold shades for the bedroom, and warm colors for the kitchen that awaken the appetite. There is no need to memorize these rules: think about what kind of atmosphere you would like to create in the room, and the basis of the color scheme will come by itself, on associations. Designer and decorator Olga Rozet calls this an intuitive approach. From the story of her lecture, you will learn a lot of useful things: "Color in the interior: from a scientific approach to an intuitive one." nine0003

Choosing the basis

The color basis in the interior is usually set by the largest objects: floor, walls, ceiling, large furniture. But the main color may not be one; it will be even better if you take several close shades, for example, a little darker and lighter than the selected one.

Very often in the interior the floor will be wooden or imitate wood, as well as cabinets, tables, shelving, so the tone of the wood or the black/white color of the furniture can set the color balance of the entire interior. If you are not going to paint furniture, take designer furniture or make it to order, look at what shades are available from the manufacturers available to you that fit into your budget and taste. nine0003

Ultra violet: the "new black" in the interior

Sometimes furniture can also act as a constraint, especially if you want to keep some of the old when renovating: the task of fitting these shades into the new desired palette can be difficult.

Choosing an accent

Your favorite or mood-setting color can be an accent, not necessarily bright and iridescent, but always contrasting to the base one. There can also be several accents: either close in scale to each other, or, conversely, of different colors. Accent colors should be harmoniously combined not only with each other, but also with the base. The number of such objects that stand out should be controlled by your sense of proportion and taste. nine0003

Balancing the gamut

How to achieve harmony between colors? This is even more difficult than choosing a gamma. Designers use various tools for this purpose, such as a color palette. About what a palette is and how to create one yourself, we just wrote: "Interior color schemes: we create and use." Ready-made color combinations can be found on the Internet.

The second option is to create a collage: it will help you figure out the percentage of colors in your interior. In any graphic editor, you can take samples of wall paint, flooring (as well as furniture and decor) and put them side by side. Putting everything together, it is easy to understand which color is superfluous and which should be added for balance. nine0003

I sketched the collage in the first image below from IKEA furniture and decor for my upcoming renovation, so that in the future it would be convenient to choose the color of the floor and walls. The second and third images are collages of my completed bathroom. They show how I chose the tiles: thanks to the collage, it became clear that darker and larger ones look better.

Checking colors in real conditions

When choosing colors in the store before renovating, don't forget to check. You should always have samples of primary colors with you, without relying on memory, and a piece of the final material or a painted sample should be taken home and see how the shade changes with different lighting in the interior.

Check live and those colors that will be adjacent in the room, putting them side by side in different combinations: due to the device of our vision, the same color can look completely different if it is surrounded by different colors. nine0003
