Afraid of a little Color?

Good Morning! Hope everyone is well this beautiful morning!

Are you afraid of color? Are all your walls white? Beige? If you like sterile white, or boring beige that is okay. However, as a color girl, I would like to give you a little bit of oomph! Lets try one wall first and we will work in color on a small scale.

Look around the room at your decor. Look at the permanent pieces. Your area rugs, artwork, furnishings, draperies, etc. These are the pieces you want to try to co-ordinate with unless, you don't mind painting. If you don't mind painting, or hiring someone to paint, then we can select colors from accessorie items or an inspiration piece.

Lets, start by picking an inspiration piece, a color in a pillow, or a rug, a piece of artwork, etc. Pick a color out of one of these pieces or just start with a color you absolutely love. Remember, you can always paint over it, if you don't like it. :)

Pick a focus wall for your color wall. This might be a fireplace wall, a wall visible from the street, a wall visible when you walk in the front door, etc. The focus wall differs depending on the space you are painting and how your space is layed out. If you are leary, then paint a small patch first about 6" x 6" and leave it for a few days. Paint your swatch next to your woodwork to see what the color will look like against the wood. This gives you a chance to observe the color in both the light and the dark.

Now paint your wall! You will be amazed at the amount of life you will add to your space by adding color to it. If you want to really live outside your box, paint 2 walls or even the entire room.

Remember, BrynnAlden Interiors also offers interior painting services :)

Happy Painting!
