As much fun as it is, painting your home is not a cakewalk. It requires investing time, thoughts, and obviously, money into it. With the right decisions, you can give a mesmerising look to your home but wrong choices can turn your home into a drab place. From dark and light to bold and subtle, to shades, variations and so much more, the options are many. But with the plethora of options available, it can sometimes get confusing.
For city homes, paint has a significant role to play in whether the house looks cramped or spacious. So, let’s go ahead to figure out which paint colours will dazzle on your walls.
5 Incredible Paint Colour Ideas for 4BHK Owners in Mumbai
Here are 5 ideas to ponder upon and start your paint job to transform your 4BHK into a beautiful, sophisticated, and soothing haven.
Try pastels for a picturesque home
Think of candy colours, aren’t they pretty? Want to add these to your home? Try out pastel colours. These are less saturated colours, the ones you get when there is enough white mixed with a primary or secondary colour. Examples are baby pink, sky blue, mint green, lavender, aqua blue, peach, pastel yellow, steel blue, sea green, and more.
Pastel colours are versatile and can be used in every room, from the kids’ room to the kitchen and bathroom. With their relaxing and serene vibes, pastel colours can turn your bedroom into a soothing abode. Better still, as per colour psychology, a charming pastel hue around you can even induce you into sleep!
You can invite pastels into your home in many ways. Either let it go solo or combine with white or grey for a stunning décor. If you are confused, opt for mint green as it is the safest bet. Complement these walls with a bright-coloured furniture piece or an artwork. While every shade of pastel lends charm and serenity to bedrooms, the popular shades for living rooms are soft blues and light green colours.
Monochromes are always in fashion
Opting for a single colour i.e. monochrome for a room or even the entire home is a great idea. It is visually transfixing and timeless. Monochrome isn’t boring if you are wondering. Variations in shades, textures, and tones can create appealing monochrome walls.
For example, if you are going with blue, there are multiple options such as sky blue, bold blue, classic blue (the Pantone colour of 2020) and more.
A tip to help utilize monochromatic colour scheme wisely is to use three colours, the base shade, the lighter version of the base shade and a darker shade. For example, if you choose the violet colour, you can opt for lavender and light purple as the other shades. This colour scheme works best for bedrooms. Soothing lavender can lend a tranquillity and welcome feel to your living room. And which child wouldn’t love a purple-themed room?
When you plan, think of all the elements including furniture, fabrics, curtains, upholstery, ceiling, shelves, and accessories. Use different shades and textures to bring about coherence and unity.
Bring in luxury with subtle neutrals
Neutral shades for homes are timeless and never fails to add a sophisticated look to the home. Perhaps, the best thing about neutral colours is that they are compatible with the most popular design trends. You can even add contrasts by teaming up the shades with bright units. For example, opt for bright and colourful accessories and furniture to light up a room painted in beige or white colour.
One of the favourites among neutrals is grey and it is best to add a subtle feel to the interiors. When painting the walls of your bedroom or living room with grey colour, use lighter shades as they lend a warmer feel to space but to create a visual impact, choose darker shades of grey.
Neutrals are best suited for Mumbai flats because, in this bustling city, you’re looking for a sanctuary for yourself and your family. To avoid the risk of the design going boring or flat, bring in character and dimension through curves, tones, shape, and textures.
Create captivating interiors with corals
Even before Pantone announced Living Coral as the colour of 2019, interior designers had used the colour through innovative ways. You can create an accent wall with coral paint or use it as the main colour for your walls.
In your Mumbai home, coral can be used in any of the rooms, living room, bedrooms, children’s room, bathroom or even kitchen. It is the perfect colour to create a warm and welcome home which will embrace you in its stunning appeal. However, make sure you don’t overdo it and keep the balance with design elements.
Try out different designs
Why settle for plain, solid colours when you can make the walls an artist’s canvas? Bring your room to life with textures and paintings on the wall. Start with some easy designs. Polka dots for example! They will look amazing not just in children’s rooms but even in the living rooms or bedrooms. Either go with different colours or go monochrome, the polka dots will enliven your home more than you have imagined.
Another popular design is stripes, either vertical or horizontal. You can use different shades of the same colour or utilize complementary colours. Geometric patterns too can create stunning visual effects. You can try a DIY project using masking tapes and bring to life your walls with your customised designs.
Let your walls tell a story through the paint colours while making your home welcoming and encompassing! Ask yourself what colours align with your personality and what hues talk to you rather than going after trends or other’s opinions.
