5 Unexpected Ways to Add a Pop of Color to Your Home

As you’ve probably heard by now (especially if you’ve been keeping up on our blogs), painting your home’s interior is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to change up the look of your home. Nothing can alter a room’s mood and tone more than a fresh coat of paint, and with the right planning, you’ll still be able to coordinate your favorite pieces of furniture with your new hue. But what if you’re already happy with the colors of your walls and ceilings?

If you’re seeking new ways to add a splash of color to a room without altering an entire wall, the Orlando painting professionals at New Ceilings have a treat for you. Here are five unexpected suggestions for brightening up any room space:

• Turn your stairs into a focal point of your entrance. If you have a multi-story house and your stairs are made of wood or plaster, this is the perfect way to add a little visual appeal to your entryway (or wherever your stairs are located). Paint each riser in a solid color. You can even achieve an ombre effect by painting a shade lighter every third step or so.

• Touch up your trim. All too often, we see homeowners leaving their moulding and trim in a stark white color. While this is a beautiful and classic look, why not try mixing it up? You can paint your wall and window trim in a color that compliments your room; or you could even paint the trim the same color as the walls and ceiling to create a luxurious, opulent look.

• Spruce up a few shelves. Painting your room’s add-ons is an excellent way to brighten up a room. If you have any floating shelves, paint them in a variety of vibrant colors and adorn them with pictures and vases. You could also paint them all the same color to achieve an elegant, classic look.

• Paint an interior door (or all of them). A bright statement shade isn’t just reserved for the front door! Experiment with using color on your interior doors. As with idea number two above, feel free to try using different shades on the trim as well as the door. You may wind up with a color trio you simply love.

• Add some color to your cabinetry. Your cabinets could use some love! Whether they’re in the living room or in the kitchen, try choosing a color for the panels and trim! A dusty green or true red might be good for a vintage themed room, and dark blue or plum add a touch of elegance to any area.

Experimenting with interior paint is so much fun for any homeowner–and can result in an absolutely stunning home.
