For reasons we don’t need to go into, millions of people are planning fresh starts this year. With a bit of luck, 2022 will not be nearly as an eventful as the previous 24 months.
Moving home is really the ultimate way of pursuing a fresh start and new beginnings. Even if you don’t plan on leaving your immediate locality, there’s something refreshing and revitalizing about relocation.
Albeit, once you’ve dealt with the inevitable headaches associated with removals.
After picking up the keys to your new home, thoughts immediately turn to making the place your own. A comprehensive interior paint refresh often being the first project movers have in mind.
Repainting interiors takes time, effort and money. The way you go about the job will have a major impact on your comfort and enjoyment of your shiny-new home. You want to get things right first time, but where to start with such an epic range of colors and shades available?
As with most things, the key to making the most of your fresh start lies in keeping things simple. There will always be time for creativity and experimentation at a later date, but there’s no need to rush into anything too wild.
If unsure which way to go and in search of a timeless option you won’t forget, each of the following is guaranteed to bring your new home to life:
Light Blue
First up, a beautifully subtle hint of blue can be just the thing for most rooms of the home. Particularly in the bedroom, where cool and relaxing colors work best. One of the great things about choosing a subtle light blue is the way in which it can be paired with so many other soft pastel shades. It blurs the lines between a bolder color and a neutral, adding personality to your interiors while keeping things perfectly simple.
Light Gray
The same can also be said for light gray, which can be brought into any room of the home with great effect. Light gray is the color to go for if looking to make the features of your home stand out, as opposed to the walls themselves. It’s essentially about creating the perfect backdrop to accentuate everything that makes your home unique and beautiful. Soothing, calming and atmospheric, light gray can also be surprisingly good for making small rooms feel larger than they actually are. It’s also an extremely easy color to pair with more dramatic accents around the room – whites and blacks in particular.
Taupe
What’s fantastic about taupe is how despite the fact that it is neutral, it brings a beautiful touch of color to any interior space. It can be picked up with a wide variety of different undertones – anything from brown to lavender to grey. Taupe delivers the kind of timeless sophistication that never looks out of place in any classical of contemporary home. It is also perfectly suitable for every room without exception, taking the guesswork out of putting your interior color scheme together.
Charcoal
Darker colors like this are best avoided in smaller rooms of the home, where they can further increase the sense of confinement. But when painting larger spaces or looking to create a cozy ambience, charcoal comes highly recommended. It is a fairly dramatic and romantic color, which like most neutrals can be paired with almost any other color imaginable. Don’t be afraid to bring darker colors into your spaces, as the effect that can be achieved by combining them with brighter colors can be quite remarkable.
White
Last but not least, there is absolutely nothing wrong with going back to basics with a pristine white paint job. In fact, white can be just the thing for creating the ultimate blank canvas for the rest of your interior décor. White doesn’t have to be boring – there are so many creative and inspiring options to choose from. In addition, there is nothing better than white when it comes to pairing contrasting colors for the features and accents around the room. The ultimate fool-proof option and just about as fresh as it gets.
