Paint Craze - Refresh your space with a coat of paint!
Since I have recently been on this paint kick...I thought I would do a post about WHY!
After all the tape is gone, and the mess-up's are fixed...it's kind of therapeutic ;)
Want to give your space a refresher?
Color is a great little trick that is inexpensive and (hopefully) fun to implement. PAINT!
Repainting a room can bring a completely different feel to your space, create a more clean appearance and lift the spirits of it's inhabitants!
But what color should you paint your "need a refresher" space?!
Here are a few ideas, tips and tricks.
Gray is becoming the ultimate neutral because it looks good with almost any color.
When you hear 'gray' you think dreary, but this is a wonderful gray that has a lot of light in it, especially when paired with white trim.
Plus, it's a color that works well with so many other colors.
Soft Blues. A color that pretty much everyone loves and lives with daily. It is easy on the eye and easy to live with.
Be Bold. Rich Colors create amazing contrast. It may seem like a huge undertaking to select such a dark color, but if you pair it with whites, lights and neutrals, it could be a "stunning" effect. (This paint color shown below is "Stunning" by Benjamin Moore ;) )
For added interest and immediate art, use your paint on your walls as your art. Create thick, horizontal stripes in small areas of your home to WOW you every time you walk by. No need for that stairwell to be boring!!
Look outdoors... What do you see?? Bring a color that is inherently outside your home, to the inside of your home. If you live in a place like THIS, then you have no problem doing that! The beautiful teal of the ocean makes for a huge impact in the turquoise walls of this home.
House of Turquoise had a great find. See more of this home HERE.
Create dimension. If you live have a very small area, or a wide open area, there are some situations that allow a pop of color in contrast with the rest of the walls in the house or room.
Choose wisely. This pairing below of navy and taupe is an excellent choice as the navy blends well with the furnishings and creates a dramatic wall to lead you outdoors.
And don't just leave the painting to the walls! Check out Centsational Girl's refinishing post here to grab a few ideas to give your FURNITURE a refresher!
