I also love accent walls, molding, and wallpaper in certain spaces. It is a very popular choice to paint the entire interior of a home – or at least the open, common living spaces, one color. I have a cape chalet.The room are open concept How do Ai paint the or choose color.How do I paint a accent wall? I’m very reluctant as I came from a house with walss/decided rooms? It goes with pretty much any other color (although you might want to avoid red in case it looks too Christmas-y).
Both neutrals and whites come with their own set of challenges, of course. Figuring out the dominant undertone is always the main concern. This shade has some purple or pink undertones in it, so be sure to test a large swatch to be sure that you like the look.
Classic Meets Modern Small Bathroom Makeover
Do you have comments or questions about creating a whole house color scheme? If you do want to use a wall color that doesn’t tie in that well with the rest of your house, pick a room that can’t be seen from your main living area. To keep rooms feeling balanced , I like to include one of my warm colors and one of my cool colors in every room. My whole house color schemeWhen you are finished, you should end up with 4 color family choices from the wheel.
This way, you can see how they change in the different types of light. Give your home beachy vibes by incorporating plenty of natural textures — think woven baskets, bamboo shades, and linen curtains — and even some mildly weathered wood. You can purchase Peel-and-Stick paint samples from companies like Samplize. In some homes, these areas may be completely sectioned off and could be treated as their own spaces. But in most modern homes they are open concept or open layouts and should be considered as one large space. If your finishes are more modern, go with a clean white like Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or the slightly warmer Sherwin-Williams Pure White.
Pick a trim and ceiling white – and stick to it.
Now do the same thing with the other side of the color wheel. Pick one of the cool colors that is not your go-to color. Just using the colors from the color wheel, pick a warm color that is not your go-to color. When I first started working with these wonderful clients, they wanted to update their home after living in it for so many years. They love the beach and are lucky enough to have one of the few houses in Denver that actually has a water view.
A lovely living cum dining space, this place has a strong visual appeal. This place offers an array of furniture and all of them are in contrast to each other and make the perfect color palette. The throw pillows are not too bright neither too dull but hold the look together. The cabinets in the dining room, are wooden and classic.

I personally like for bedrooms to each have their own personalities and paint colors that make sense for their vibes. They don’t have to be in the same proportion, however…sometimes some pink flowers in my blue living room are all the warmth that is needed to brighten up the whole space. Now before anyone gets too nervous about having to pick bright colors for everything, you can choose any shade within these color families. That doesn’t mean your non-selected colors can’t appear anywhere in your house. If you didn’t choose yellow, but you find a painting you love with some yellow in it, by all means use it. But those colors should not appear often and should never be the focal point of your room.
If you're afraid of color, or want your space to feel modern and clean you'll probably want to go with a monochromatic color scheme. Starting with your favorite color means that you won't be getting sick of it any time soon. Now I'm not saying that if your favorite color is cobalt blue to go paint all of your walls that color, but you can most definitely use it as a starting point. Complementary colors are more than just colors that look nice together, they’re colors that create the strongest contrast. Think back to that color wheel from elementary school art class.
Repose Gray can be a great whole house paint color, especially for new construction or a more modern home. I also love the look of it on cabinets when you have white walls. Brown and grey look much nicer when paired with white, isn’t it?
Making a color palette for a room is almost similar to selecting a color palette for the house except here you only have to consider decorating a single room instead of a whole house. It is very necessary to remember that it is your house and so you have the freedom to use any color any want, it should just suit your personality. If it is your bedroom choose colors that are restful and inspiring, if it is your hall or living area choose colors that are welcoming. The kitchen can be classic, modern, sophisticated, or anything you want. In this way, you can refer to the color wheel and make color schemes suiting the personality.

For H&G, she writes features about interior design – and is known for having an eye for a beautiful room. Here, a dramatic inky blue is a bold choice and one that you shouldn't hesitate to recreate if you dare. So a pale green shade used on the walls in a living room with blush pink accents could be inverted in a bedroom to show blush walls with green accents. This helps hide imperfections and keep the focus on the walls and trim.
Using the same color orange will tie the two spaces together but not have them totally matching. Hi Danielle…yes, you can use two different neutrals in adjacent rooms. I would try to keep them in the same “temperature” (eg. both with either “cool” or “warm” undertones) which will help them blend together. I’m happy to hear Cobalt and Turquoise can both be used.
This repetition of color is what helps to make sure that your house flows from one room to the next. Harmonious colors are next to each other on the color wheel. They go together because they're essentially made from each other.
