Paint color: mistakes to avoid


We can of course use several colors in the same room. You just have to pay attention to the dosage: the strong color can be either dominant or in keys. Another rule: always mix a cold shade with a slightly warmer shade. For example, a cold gray, that is to say slightly bluish, should be associated with a beige that has a hint of red in it. Avoid a greenish and cold beige. By using only cool hues, the final mood will be cold and soulless. On the contrary, a maximum of warm colors will give a side too heavy to the room. Mixing cold and warm shades is the key to a warm and harmonious decoration.

What are the neutrals for?

The neutral comes to break the color. The color energizes the room: it can be applied on a wall or in a passage where you can afford to have a total colorful look and create like a box (entrance, hallway, stairs). On the contrary, in the living room, the color used will be neutral and the more sustained color will just recall on skirting boards, doors or a piece of wall.

How to awaken the neutral hues, sometimes seen and reviewed, without repainting?

In a room, if the walls are white or off-white, bring color by marking the headboard, skirting boards or a door with a stronger hue.

Is the association of a primary color with a secondary color possible? For example, yellow with purple.

It can work. After, everything depends on the violet: it must be cold and pull rather towards the violin, with a point of blue therefore. On the other hand, a purple that has too much red will be badly associated with yellow.

Yellow is a color very present in deco for the spring-summer . How to apply it to the wall?

Yellow will be used in keys: we will not repaint a whole room in this shade! The yellow can be effectively contrasted with hues a little darker like a bluish purple (Lips purple shades of Peintures1825), a deep black or a putty. This shows that yellow is a bright color that can be easily used without getting an old-fashioned and tacky side. It is then energized and modernized. Associated with black, we even get an ultra chic hotel style.

What do you think of black decoration?

It's my favorite color! I love the pieces in total black look. In one of my projects, the entrance was completely black and the kitchen totally white, monochrome: the floor, the walls, the elements, everything was the same white. And as the kitchen was visible from the entrance, it created a magnificent contrast.

  

What is the right color for the room?

In this room dedicated to rest, we will avoid colors too hot, like red, which excite a little and are not ideal for sleeping. But I have already used coral in a room, with black and brown tones in a rather masculine atmosphere. For a more feminine room, use the mauve and fuchsia tones.
