Thoughts to Ponder While Painting
If you're going to be painting your room soon, it's worth it to seriously consider the colors you choose. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you stand and stare blankly at the color wall at your home improvement store:
Be Zen
When choosing the colors for your bedroom, you want the overall feel to be relaxing and peaceful. When you walk into your bedroom, if you don't automatically feel that way, it may be time for a color change. Blues and greens are obviously the top picks but even if those aren't your favorite, you can still choose peaceful shades.
Steer Clear of Crazy
While your inner colors may be all about bold purples, rich reds, and exciting yellows, it may be better to incorporate those colors into your kitchen, office, or hobby nook. If you really must have bold colors in your room, try to mute them down by using a calmer shade of the color or only using it on one wall as an accent. Another idea would be to use that color on your pillows, lamps, and photos instead of flooding the room with it.
Don't Forget About The Baby Bedroom
While it's easy to use these pieces of advice in your bedroom, don't forget about the kid's bedrooms! So many want to splash fun and exciting colors all over the bedroom that your child sleeps in, but don't forget that sleep deprivation in children is just as bad as it is for adults. While it may be tempting to paint your princesses room bright pink or your little fireman's room bold red - try to keep the tones muted and save the bold colors for their playroom.
