Painting the walls can have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your space, no matter if you are decorating your entire living space or just one room.  In addition to fitting your home’s overall aesthetic, it is important to choose colors and patterns that work well with each other.  To help give ideas and inspiration we at L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc would like to share the current interior painting trends today.

Accent Wall

If you are looking for the perfect way to make your living room, feel new and fresh, but not sure where to start, you can ask for recommendations and scour the internet for inspiration. Adding an accent wall will give your space some personality, whether you paint a stripe, or something more abstract.  Before they become glaringly obvious, adding an accent wall is also a great way to cover up any imperfections in your walls.

Ombre

An easy way to make your room feel lighter and airier is combining complementary colors to create an ombre effect.  Where the light will shine through the gradient, this can be done on any wall or ceiling.  Select three paints in varying shades of color that start from darkest at one end to lightest at the other end to do this.   Paint each stripe in its designated shade before painting over it with a lighter shade, starting from the top and working down.  If you need help choosing the right color scheme, a professional can help you out.  

Monochromatic

Monochromatic is one of the most popular painting trends right now. You add accent colors through furniture, art, and accessories and you to paint your space in one color is required for this look.   Creating an interior that feels like one cohesive space is the idea. You can do it on just one wall, or you can go the traditional route and paint your entire room.

Geometric Patterns

Geometric painting is the way to for those that want to make a bold statement.  The living room is one place where it can really make an impact, though there are plenty of ways you can use it in your home.  By painting an accent wall or as the main design element on your ceiling, use geometric patterns as part of your color scheme.

Inspiration Through Nature

To let nature inspire you is one great way to decorate your living room.  It will make the process of picking paint colors easy, as there are so many different colors and textures that can be found in nature.

Metallic Paints

One of the best ways to make a statement in your living room is using a metallic paint. When paired with neutrals, metallics are bold and look elegant, as well as looking great on their own.  Consider about which colors you want to be the room’s focal point when contemplating what colors to use.  Try using bronze or copper shades instead if you have an abundance of dark colors in your room.
