Six ways to use colors in interior decor.

Let's talk about the use of colors to brighten up your house.

Color Ideas.

Can you give me suggestions on how to combine colors to paint my house?

We can say this, follow rules is not always a good thing. If you choose a tone that has no affinity, just because it is a trend, you will get tired quickly. Classic colors, such as navy blue, burgundy, and bottle green, are less fleeting. Mixing hot and cold colors helps to divide attention between two poles. When choosing a vibrant color, the expert's tip is always to look for two lighter shades in the chart.


Harmony.

My teenage daughter chose the water-green damask fabric for one of the bedroom walls. What color should the others have? She has an antique white dressing table. Can I color?


You can leave the room in shades of water-green, the environment will be light, with an aspect of nature. Combine with lilac accessories; if you want to dare, try something fuchsia. On the dressing table, bet in a stronger tone than one chosen for the wall. The white should be only for the ceiling, doors, and baseboards.


Set of Stamps.

Is there an ideal color pattern for each room?


The first thing to do is to choose a predominant color or pattern. Choose which one will have the most striking fabric and leave the other elements with dull colors or smaller versions of drawings. Avoiding stripes on large pieces is another tip.


Painting Furniture.

I have colonial and rustic style furniture, as they are dark in color, I would like to know if it is possible to paint them in matte white.


The furniture must be sanded in the direction of the grain with specific fine sandpaper to the type of wood, always taking care of the rounded parts of the piece. Then, the surface must be cleaned with a cloth or air compressor to remove dust and other residues. For painting, we advise the use of a standard roller or gun and paint based on acrylic PVA. In the most worked parts, an extra brush finish can make a difference. After the first coat, wait three to four hours to apply then the second coat, which will guarantee the homogeneity of the finish.


In the Bedroom.

I have a 10-year-old daughter, and she likes the color navy blue for the bedroom. The furniture is all white. What colors can I use to liven up the environment?


Navy blue is a deep color and suggests introspection, creating a high contrast experience with the intensity of white. If you want to balance these tones in a child's room, it is necessary to include details with more light, but without committing excesses. Light and delicate colors, like lilac, hydrangea, and turquoise, can be the right choice, as they bring softness to the room. We have pointed out that to balance them to work with various shades.


Centerpiece.

I have a gray wardrobe and want to know what color do I paint my room?


Gray allows various combinations; we use it a lot in our projects. On the walls, you can apply shades of green, such as pistachios or even details in lime green. Turquoise is a great option and tends to leave the atmosphere chic and elegant. About bedroom furniture, light wood, or off-white lacquer finishes are good options.
