In this warm yet polished bedroom designed by Heidi Caillier, bewitching red walls set a romantic mood. The accent pillow features a more neon shade of red that brightens up the space while still keeping it calm, cozy, and just a touch mysterious.

Red Lacquer
High-energy yet calming, bold yet timeless, this jaw-dropping bedroom designed by Brian J. McCarthy is serious goals. For a similar effect, stick to a tight two-color story with the walls in a show-stopping super high gloss paint and your ceiling in a flat white paint. "This finish feels fresh for a guest room, and the surprising pop of color is both warm and chic," he says.

Bubble Gum Pink
Too outrageous? No such thing. Bright bubblegum pink is a fearless choice. In this bedroom by Anna Spiro, it asserts a youthful spirit to balance out the traditional pieces, like the dresser and tight floral patterns.

Blush Pink
If this whimsical bedroom doesn't make you blush, we don't know what will. "Exuberantly feminine, yet resolutely chic" was designer Jonathan Berger's motto for decorating this Brooklyn townhouse. Berger found the suzani on eBay, while and the curvy Venetian-inspired headboard is covered in Nouvelle Orleans, a cut velvet from Clarence House that resembles ironwork but, of course, is much softer to the touch.
The antique Napoleon III rope ottoman covered in an Aubusson tapestry adds a French country chic feel to seal the deal.

Petal Pink
Here's another beautiful bedroom making a strong case for blush. Designed by Chip and Joanna Gaines, one of the primary goals of this home renovation was to honor its historical significance. One of the ways they did so was by preserving the existing fireplaces. In this bedroom, the original fireplace remains, but the room gets a fresh update with pretty petal pink paint. A classic oil painting and antique decor nod to the past while the flower sconce embraces the present.

Peach
"The bedroom gets great light throughout the day, so we wanted to go for a peachy color on the walls that would give it a nice glow with the sunlight," Ring explains.
The bedroom "feels layered in a comfortable way but not too busy—[you] feel very serene when you’re in the room," Ring says. She also wove some of the client's existing pieces into the design. The pillow, for example, was custom-made out of one of her old vintage quilts and the plexiglass butterfly artwork brings a tough of whimsy.

Salmon
The missing piece for this room was the rug, designer Avery Cox says. It helps tie together the paint colors, a light blue for the walls, and a sort of star-fish orange tone for the moldings and door. Deeper and more saturated shades of blue and yellow as well as ruddier shades of pink help contrast, too.

Coral
Nothing quite radiates like joy like coral (as far as paint colors are concerned, at least).
In this bedroom by Nicky Kehoe, it picks up the bright tones featured in the gallery wall while the trimming, which is a darker gray color, reflects the cooler neutrals in the bedding and accents. Under direct light, it appears brighter, while it mimics the more muted shade of terra cotta in dimmer or less direct light.

Cream
Who says beige and cream are boring? Dependable, versatile, warm, and subtle, these neutrals are some of the best paint colors for a bedroom. A super light taupe shade will contrast just enough with crisp bright interiors while also injecting some warmth into the space. It also brings to mind long walks on a sandy beach. Add pops of cheerful colors with decor and throw pillows or keep it classic, as designer Richard Beard did here.

Caramel
Take a cue from this bedroom designed by Danielle Colding and match your upholstered headboard to the walls.
Here, the studded boarder adds a touch of intrigue but blends right into the beige color behind it for a timeless look.

Terracotta
A Canadian townhouse's guest bedroom exudes warmth with terracotta walls. A large, statement piece of art helps break up the dark color. Though brown isn't exactly the most obvious paint color when decorating a bedroom, this warm nook makes a strong case for it. The fact that it's unexpected makes it perfect for anyone who likes to experiment with color but doesn't love bright neons and playful pastels.

Chocolate Brown
With slightly less of the red clay undertone than the brown paint in the previous room, this color is more calming than it is energizing.
Designer Fiona Lynch felt it was perfect for a bedroom. She used Rich Biscuit by Dulux and then mixed in some offbeat accents for an eclectic elegance.

Ochre and Teal
Designer Peter Dunham created a custom curtain wall and installed bedside sconces to give this small bedroom a regal feel. The mustard accent wall mirrors the upholstered headboard and warms up the room.

Cornsilk
A pale yellow door sets the tone for the warm and neutral bedroom designed by Heidi Caillier. The other door is painted a light sage green tone, while the moldings are given a coat of chocolate brown. Because the colors are kept contained to smaller surface areas, they work together instead of clashing.

Marigold
This bedroom proves just how beautiful marigold can look with navy blue and olive green.
This sunny shade also works nicely when you incorporate accent pieces with metallic finishes for a glamorous aesthetic. Think bronze pendant lights and stools with interesting frames. These finishes accentuate yellow's shining personality.

Lemon Yellow
It's always a good idea to consult the color wheel at every step of the decorating process. Knowing which colors complement one another will make everything easier, from ideating to shopping, and, of course, living within the final result. A good example of a job well done? This gray and yellow bedroom designed by Juan Carretero. There's no doubt that yellow represents cheer, so if you want to spread warmth and energy, this is the color for you. You'll love how the bright striped ceiling brings in a more playful element to the more traditional guest room.

Ireland, these white-painted wicker twin beds are topped with mosquito net canopies for an ethereal touch. The rose-printed canopy toppers offer a slight contrast in pattern but keep the color story consistent, and the yellow walls anchor the entire space.

Peach
The open floor plan in this Chicago family apartment designed by Bruce Fox called for cohesion between the dining and living room areas. That soft peachy paint and deep pink sofa are reflected in the printed armchair at the head of the dining table, and also mimic the rosy glow of the pendant light. The color scheme was inspired by a photograph taken of the family in London during spring when the city was veiled in cherry blossoms.

Charcoal
The traditional, neutral furniture in this room designed by Balsamo Antiques and Interior Design make a minimal visual impact so the moody colors, artwork, light fixtures, and other decorative accents can stand out.

Khaki
Designer Garrow Kedigian defines a neutral as "anything that isn't jarring," which is a super helpful way to reframe things if cream, white, or gray simply isn't cutting it in your living room and you can't figure out why.
Certain spaces just call for something outside the box, whether it's because of an architectural style, light exposures, or existing furniture. Here, the walls are painted Benjamin Moore's Rattan.
What color to paint the walls?
Are you going to paint the walls in your apartment, but don't know what color? This problem is familiar to many, because choosing the shade of the walls is not so easy.
Going to the store, you need to remember that a lot depends on the right choice of wall paint. Properly painted walls can transform any room, visually expand it and increase overall functionality. Many people think that the walls should be painted in some base color, from which they should be repelled in the future. Today, this approach is considered not very correct. Not only the attractiveness of the interior, but also your mood and well-being will depend on what color the walls will be painted. It should be easy and comfortable for you to live in your apartment.
Since different rooms in the apartment have different purposes, the question of what color to paint the walls is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Each color has its own character and has a different effect on the emotional activity of a person. This must be taken into account when thinking about what color to paint the walls. In addition, do not forget that the walls are just a backdrop for furniture, paintings, carpets and other interior details. If you want to make them more expressive, then choose calm shades.
You can choose the color depending on the sides of the horizon. For example, walls in rooms with south-facing windows can be brighter and more saturated than those with north-facing windows. The "northern" room is better to decorate with light colors that reflect light. Warm colors are ideal - yellow, yellow-green, yellow-pink, golden, pink. And for the "southern" rooms, choose cold colors - purple, blue, green. But at the same time it is necessary to take into account the level of illumination of the room.
If a tree grows in front of the windows of the "southern" room, then the room will also be dark. In this case, the walls should be light and warm.
The color of the walls in the living room should be calm, but at the same time uplifting. After all, this room is used both for family recreation and noisy gatherings with guests. For large and spacious living rooms, blue, golden, yellow, gray-blue colors of low saturation are suitable. And for small living rooms, you should choose more saturated shades that create a festive mood - purple, violet, peach, blue, yellow.
Bedroom is a place of rest, so you need to create a relaxing atmosphere in it. It is better to paint the walls in the bedroom in calm warm colors close to white - pink, blue, green, beige. The color should not be bright, otherwise it will irritate the psyche.
The walls in the hallway are best painted in light colors. The entrance hall is a small narrow room, devoid of daylight, so light walls will make it visually larger.
What color should I paint the walls in the nursery? This issue should be taken very carefully, not forgetting to ask the child for advice, because not only the student's progress, but most importantly, his mood and mental health depend on how well the color scheme is chosen.
On the one hand, we need bright colors that will stimulate the baby to play and develop. For preschoolers, orange and red are suitable, for schoolchildren - blue and green. But, on the other hand, bright colors tire children, so they need to be used very carefully. It is best to paint the walls in the nursery in several colors, by zone.
If a nursery is intended for children of middle and senior school age, then ideal conditions for rest, sleep and study should be created in it. Light restrained tones for these three conditions are perfect: gray, gray-blue, gray-green, white. These colors have a positive effect on human brain activity and will be in perfect harmony with everything that a child will decorate their walls with: children's drawings, collections, posters, car and airplane models, sports equipment, a cup .
.. in short, everything a child is interested in at this age .
Kitchen walls are best painted in light, bluish or greenish tones. They create a feeling of coolness and expand the space of the kitchen. Also, the kitchen can be painted in bright saturated colors. For example, orange and red will stimulate the appetite, while blue and green will suit those who follow the figure.
It is desirable to make the walls of office calm, because this is a place of mental labor. Suitable beige, light brown, gray, green tones. Yellow color is suitable for people of creative professions.
Bathroom is usually painted in light colors as it tends to be small. Visually enlarge the bathroom will help white, light blue, lilac, pink, light green, yellow.
When choosing paint in our stores, you can use special palettes - with their help, you can easily choose colors that blend well with each other.
Also, our sales consultants will help you in the selection of colors and provide professional advice.

Not sure how to choose a wall paint color and afraid the end result won't match your expectations? Here are 5 tips to help you decide.
1. Trust your first instinct
It often happens that you plan to paint the walls in a certain color, but then, when you see a wide range of shades in the store, you start to doubt.
In this case, designers advise not to change the original decision - a spontaneous choice is likely to be not the most successful.
It's best to have a detailed room design on paper. Color combinations will already be thought out in it, and the temptation to change your choice will become less.

2. Match the furniture
If we are talking about a complete renovation, it is important to first decide on most of the furniture, and only then, what color is better to paint the walls. The combination of shades in this case will be more balanced, besides, you can choose the tone, starting from the pattern on the upholstery of the sofa or chair.
Another argument in favor of this advice is that repainting the walls is cheaper than completely refurbishing the room.
3. Choose a paint with rich pigment
Regardless of the shade (it can even be very light), try to choose a paint with rich pigment.
It is this finish that will ultimately give the room depth and look interesting in different lighting conditions.
This paint can be found in the assortment of foreign manufacturers Portola Paints and Farrow and Ball.
4. Don't give up on testing
Even if you fall in love with a certain tone in the store, don't buy it right away. Ask for a paint sample and test it at home under different lighting conditions. Light does wonders for color, so seeing how a particular tone looks in your room is very important.
5. Choose the right test site
When testing a paint sample, it is important to select the correct test site. Test paint next to other finishes and as far away from distracting elements in the room as possible. So you can accurately understand how the room will look after the repair.
And one last piece of advice. If you still can't wait to buy paint directly in the store, always give preference to a lighter palette.
Sometimes you want to add more color to a space, but in a real room, the lightest shade will most likely look brighter than in the jar.

1. White
The most popular choice for painting large surfaces due to its versatility. White and its shades (beige, cream, ivory) visually enlarge the space, make it lighter. White is uplifting and calming, and also helps to focus.
Any furniture and floor finish can be combined with white. If it seems that the interior looks boring, feel free to add bright colors. It can be bright furniture or an accent wall.

But in fact, this is one of the most stylish interior solutions, of course, with the right selection of proportions and combinations with the environment.
An interior with a black wall becomes elegant.
Its depth emphasizes the details, gives expressiveness. It becomes the perfect backdrop for artwork and vintage furniture. A classic combination: black walls and light furniture or floors.

3. Brown
It is suitable for classic interiors, as it is considered quite conservative. Brown is also recommended to design a relaxation area, as it soothes.
In order not to make the interior too gloomy, it is recommended to combine brown with white and other light colors such as beige. This rule works both when choosing furniture and when choosing what colors to paint the walls in a room. Another good combination is brown trim and turquoise accessories in the interior.

Pastel Pastel colors are very diverse and look great in any interior. Pistachio, mint, soft blue, pale yellow or pink can be the main background, making the room airy and delicate, or balance a bright and contrasting wall and furniture.

5. Purple
Violet and its shades (lavender, mauve, lilac and violet) attract attention and set the tone for the interior. They also inspire a person and have a positive effect on brain activity.
When designing an interior, it is important not only to choose the right color, but also to determine its quantity. Violet rarely decorate large surfaces. As a rule, it is used as an accent and balanced by other elements.
Soft and calm shades of purple can be used in classic interiors. In pop art, minimalism and hi-tech, more saturated options will look good. Against a purple background, light-colored furniture looks the most advantageous.

7. Blue
Blue creates a feeling of peace and tranquility. Despite the fact that it belongs to the cold palette, the right combinations with other shades and competent lighting ensure its harmonious existence in the interior.
For small rooms, a combination of blue and white is suitable. White will visually make the room wider, and blue will bring freshness. To keep the interior from being too cold, you can use shades of blue, close to blue and turquoise, in combination with beige. Furniture in a blue interior can be neutral, wood-like or, conversely, bright contrasting colors.
The variety of green tones is so great that it can be used in any interior. Light shades will visually enlarge the room, dark ones will make the interior elegant and deep.
Green and its shades blend well with each other and wood.
