Dark walls are getting a lot of attention recently. Dark paints give the house a feeling of homey and cozy cottage vibe. This might sound like the easiest choice, but it can be tricky. Below are some tips and tricks to successfully pull off dark-colored walls and make them less scary.
Know Where to Paint
It is important to note that dark colours make a room look smaller than it is. It is highly advised that you have large windows to allow natural light in the space. You can also opt to paint one main wall dark and bright on the other walls. This makes the wall stand out.it will also make the room feel a bit longer than it is.
There are zero rules on how and where you should paint dark colours in your home, but they look better in areas like the master bedroom, bathrooms, and living rooms. Or you could make your whole home one dark-coloured home. That would make it stand out. Another trick is, if your walls have a low ceiling, paint the trim the same colour as the walls. This will hide the trim and make your walls appear taller.
Choosing Décor
Similar to using dark furniture with light-coloured walls, light furniture in a dark room will give the space the contrast it needs. You can also opt to go all dark with pops of colour on décor like vases, throw pillows, rugs, etc. this always gives a feel of elegance, say an all-black space with gold or mustard pop-ups. Whatever you decide will look amazing. Just play around with your creativity.
Pick the Right Finish
Any paint whether dark or light requires a perfect finish. Therefore make sure you choose the right finish to cover up your paint. This helps a lot in avoiding stains on the wall that may damage your paint. Most professionals like us would recommend trying a semi-gloss or matte finish instead.
