When planning your home painting and interior design, keep the colors balanced. Too much of a bright hue can be overwhelming, but too many neutrals in one place can come off boring and unappealing. The best design schemes incorporate several shades which go well together, including at least one eye-catching accent. To strike the right balance, here are a few ideas for incorporating just the right pop of color.

Doors & Trim

If you want to express your personality and creativity on your home’s exterior, use a vibrant color for the front door, the shutters, or the trim. This can create a playful and inviting look and helps fill blank spaces or balance a large garage door. You can even coordinate the color choice with the flowers and other features of your yard. The same principle applies to indoor home painting. A door, baseboard, or window frame can be the perfect place to use your accent color.

Paint Unexpected Areas

Painted floors are growing in popularity, as are colorful ceilings which draw the eye and can help make the room feel taller or shorter as needed. You can also put bright colors in partially hidden areas, like the inside of a bookcase, for a bright but subtle touch. The more unexpected the painted area, the more of an impression it will make.

Create an Accent Wall

If you have fallen in love with a paint color, but it’s too bright for the whole room, paint just one wall. Make that wall the visual centerpiece of the room’s design, adding furniture and decorative elements like flowers and wall art for extra contrast. Just be sure to pull the color throughout the room’s decor in the form of rugs, furniture, and pillows.
