The colors we choose for our homes are one of the most influential decisions we can make that can modify the style and feel of our environment.
Color has a very powerful effect on our emotions, as studies show, and mixing the right colors together to harmonize can create an environment that pleases our soul.
It can be tricky to find the right color combinations, so we’re here to help you out. Here are some of the best color combinations you can use for every room in the home:
Living Room Colors
Depending on your family makeup, a living room will have a different vibe. If you have kids, you’ll want more vibrant colors. Couples will want an entertaining space for the living room.
These color combinations are perfect for the living room:
Earth Tones
Warm, earthy tones are perfect for the laid back living room meant to be cozy and comfortable.
Think of how great muted browns, greens, and creams will feel while cuddled up on a couch watching movies with the family at night and then transform an open and airy scene when the sun shines through the windows.
Neutral Metallics
For a more sophisticated look, a living room with cool tones such as gray and creams mix well with softer metallics like silver and brushed nickel.
Modern sofas and metallic framed mirrors will make for a great party hosting space.
Dining Room Colors
For dining rooms there’s really just one question to ask yourself. How serious do you take your dining experience? Are you a table setting person or a grab and go type?
The colors will help to set the mood for a variety of dining experiences.
Coastal Color Palette
For an open air feel to your dining, white and blue are the perfect combination to make you feel like you’re on the deck of your own sailboat.
There are many dining room sets available for purchase that would match. Even seat cushions with a white and blue stripe are plentiful.
Warm and Rustic
Another great color palette for dining rooms is a pairing of a few warmer colors such as rust and reds.
Add some copper accents, dark woods and a few industrial touches.
Bedroom Colors
Your bedroom is your sanctuary. No other room in the home is more personal. Choosing the right color is crucial for this room. It will be the first color you see in the morning and the last you see at night.
Vibrant and Fun
For those who like a more bold approach, there’s no shame in going all out with color for your bedroom.
A cheerful yellow or deep teal can certainly switch up the mood of your bedroom.
Tranquil Beach Tones
Otherwise, a calming color palette that reminds you of ocean waves and warm sands can help create an environment that lulls you to sleep.
These colors include turquoise, light tan, soft blues and cloud white.
Kitchen Colors
Kitchens are often the busiest room in the house. While traditionally kitchens were whitewashed, modern kitchens have become much more interesting.
Half and Half Kitchens
One very popular choice for kitchen colors is to make the upper cabinets a light color and the base cabinets a darker tone.
Popular colors for the bottom is a dark navy or a charcoal. White or cream for the top.
Greens Abound
A monochromatic kitchen full of greens and teals with a speckling of raw wood and white walls create a fresh looking kitchen.
It’s just asking for an indoor herb garden and vegetables to be served daily.
Bathroom Colors
Bathrooms are the smallest rooms in the house, so the colors chosen often need to take this into consideration.
Black and White
The perfect duo, using black and white in your bathrooms creates enough contrast to make the room look bigger. It’s also the easiest color to match towels to.
Citrus
Bright lemon yellow, orange, and lime green look great in a bathroom. Of course, with colors this vivid, you’ll want a light background color with these colors as accents.
Conclusion
Color adds so much to our lives but we often take it for granted. Next time you decide what colors to use in your next room makeover, take your time.
Finding the right colors may take some trial and error but when you’ve hit the jackpot it will just feel right.
