Home Remodeling | Guide to Pairing Paint Colors<\/h2>\n

Home Remodeling<\/a> | It can be hard enough choosing one interior paint color you’d love to live with day after day, but what about the ultimate design challenge: Finding two or more colors that work well together! Where does one even begin to look? “A great place to start is to find something in your home like a work of art or rug that combines the color you love with other colors,” says Sharon Radovich. “That will give you a sense of which other shades would be complementary.”<\/p>\n

Gray on Gray<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Layering various grays is a great way to use this popular color\u00a0at home.\u00a0However when it comes to choosing different shades to work with, resist the urge to simply slide up or down the paint swatch from the store.\u00a0“Choosing a lighter and a darker shade from the same color family won’t give you enough contrast,” Espinoza says.<\/p>\n

Balance the Bold<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Accent walls can add a splash of color to a room, but when it comes to balancing a bold paint color you don’t have to rely only on white for the surrounding walls. In this home office\u00a0combined energizing orange with a pale green for a fresh look that satisfied her color-loving clients without overwhelming the workspace.<\/p>\n

Go With a Classic<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Some of the timeless color duos in interior design are pale blue and bright red, kelly green and pink, and navy blue and white. “Navy and white is definitely a classic combination.” To give this palette different moods, Ayres says, “add yellow accents for an upbeat, preppy look or mix with grays and blacks for a more serious feeling.”<\/p>\n

Twice as Nice<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

On the hunt for the perfect interior neutral? There’s no need to zero in on just one. Designer Lindsay Espinoza freely mixes two or three go-to neutrals in a single setting. “I like to have one main neutral for hallways and most walls in a house,” she reveals. “Then I use a second darker color to make accent walls and architectural details pop.”<\/p>\n

Trim Tips<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

If you already have a single color you love, consider painting the trim around doors and windows a color other than white. You might pick up a color from an accent rug or upholstered bed frame, as in this gray and pastel bedroom.<\/p>\n

It’s Easy Being Green<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Green’s myriad variations not only look beautiful with other colors (think red, pink, yellow, violet), they also look great when mixed together. “One of the main reasons green works so well with other colors and with varying shades of itself is because it is found abundantly in\u00a0nature,” says Jackie Jordan, Director of Color Marketing for Sherwin-Williams. This inviting living room features Sherwin-Williams’ Dill (SW 6438) on the walls.<\/p>\n

Inspiration All Around<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Some of the most pleasing color combinations can come from existing artwork or accents. That’s the case with this bedroom’s eye-catching blue and brown palette, which is inspired by the bird’s nest artwork on the wall. “The owner spends her mornings working in this room so she wanted a space that would both nurture and energize her.”<\/p>\n

Go With the Flow<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

When faced with an open floor plan, many homeowners find it fun to distinguish separate areas using a variety of paint colors. To create harmonious views from one space to the next, choose colors that are close to each other on the spectrum\u2014blue to green to yellow, for example\u2014or hues that may be different but are alike in shade, such as soft tomato red and warm beige.\u00a0–\u00a0Bob Vila<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
