Decorating with dark or bold hues

If you have a particular love of bold or dark colors and a natural flair for decorating or ever wanted to try something completely daring and different with your interior design then painting your walls with deep hues may ​be ​your ​biggest​ challenge yet. Here are some considerations to take in mind:

  • You don't have to go all in: If you are not quite ready for the full plunge of committing to one intense shade all over your room, then try painting one accent wall. This will provide an almost theatrical backdrop of color behind whatever beautiful piece of furniture you decide to put in front of it. For example, if you paint the wall behind your bed in your master suite a deep emerald color, it will not only bring about a serene, natural-like feel to your room, but it will also artfully complement your rich, mahogany colored bed frame.
  • Stark contrast: If you choose to paint your walls an intensely dark color, this gives you the opportunity to buy bright, white furniture to provide the perfect amount of contrast that your inner designer craves. If you choose a dark gray or brown, try buying a cream-toned couch with dark wooden legs to make your living room pop with contrast.
  • Bringing together different eras: Deciding to paint your walls with a dark tone is one way to allow you to decorate with furniture of various styles in a way that still looks cohesive and put together. It paves the way for that antique looking mirror to blend in nicely with your favorite, glossy modern-looking dinner table.
