If you’re wondering whether or not it’s time for a remodel, the answer is likely yes. Experts believe that rooms should be given a full makeover every 5 to 10 years. This lets you keep up with interior decor trends as well as have a fresh mentality in your home- you’ll never get bored!
One of the most fun things to do when remodeling your home is to repaint your interior. You can get really creative with updating your home in this way.
Once all is said and done, you’ll feel incredibly refreshed. After all, having everything feel new once in a while is a huge breath of fresh air.
Read on to learn how to repaint your home with some of the best room color schemes out there!
1. Minimalist
In 2020, minimalism in decor is an even bigger trend than ever. This is basically the idea that ‘less is more,’ and it applies to what you keep in rooms. You don’t want clutter, excessive shelving, or over-the-top decor.
There’s a specific color palette associated with minimalism, too: whites, beige, and some grays. To keep with the current trends, this may be a color scheme to look into when repainting.
2. Monochrome
If you want a simple color scheme but don’t find minimalism appealing, that’s totally alright! Monochrome color schemes are also extremely en vogue right now.
Classy and sleek, a white wall with harsh black accents and trim may be just what you need to keep your house feeling energized. Not only is it a really cool look, but you can include furniture and decorations of pretty much any color and never worry about the room clashing.
3. Dual Color
Dual-color schemes are also all the rage right now. Specifically, white in conjunction with a light blue, green, or purple is something that a lot of people are trying this year.
The combination of these colors with white gives them a soft edge and allows them to stand out against the rest of the room. For added fun, get furniture (or furniture covering, if you’re on a budget) to match!
You can also have a dual-color scheme that doesn’t involve white. The only rule here is to make sure that they don’t clash. Forest green will look awesome with a light lime color by giving off the vibes of nature and foliage, for example. Get creative!
4. Beachy Keen
One dual-color scheme that warrants a section of its own is a beach color scheme. This means that you can have blue paint with beige accents or vice versa. Light blues are awesome if you want to imagine the water’s surface, but a deep navy is great for thinking about its depths.
These colors are reminiscent of sand and water and will immediately make you feel transported to a tropical paradise. You also can invent new color schemes reminiscent of the beach, including colors like seafoam green and teal. Experimenting with texture can also be a lot of fun here!
5. Psychology Driven
A lot of the color schemes that are popular right now are supported by color psychology. This is basically the idea that each color is evocative of a different emotion or mood and that moods can be controlled and positively influenced by the use of color.
There are lots of ways that color psychology can be used in paint schemes to make your home a better place. You can select colors that represent the mood that you want to be in when you enter certain rooms of your home, switching the color to go with a specific area. You also can mix and match colors, putting multiple moods within one room at once!
6. Blue for You
According to color psychology, blue is a color that may appeal to certain areas of the home because it evokes calm feelings. Specifically great for bedrooms and other areas for rest, this color may help you relax and fight against anxiety.
If you want some tips on the right blues to choose for your room, talk to professionals at an awesome painting company. This advice can tilt your room’s decor from ‘pretty good’ to ‘stunning’ in just a few simple steps.
7. Canary, Dandelion, and More
Yellow is, according to color psychology, the color of warmth and energy. If you’re painting a room in which you do a lot of thinking or work and want to keep motivated, a shade of yellow (or multiple!) might be right for you.
As you can see from this Pinterest board, yellow goes well with all sorts of colors and decorations. Pale yellow goes especially well with other shades of yellow like dandelion and sunflower hues.
8. Think Pink
Pink is the color of romance and kindness, according to psychologists, making it the perfect color for the kitchen you share with your significant other. It also makes sense to use it for accents in a bedroom, although you’ll want to make it light so it doesn’t clash with your blue walls.
There are tons of color schemes that you can use to incorporate the color pink. Use it in conjunction with white or beige to make it look classy and sleek. It also goes great with robin’s egg blue or a very pale yellow. One word of advice, though: don’t mix and match different shades of pink in one room. It will end up looking like jumbled cotton candy, we promise.
