Painting Rules - Mood Continued

Establishing a mood with your wall color is as important as what you put in the room!  Here are more palettes that set a tone for how you want people to feel when they visit.

  


Often seen in children's rooms, the whimsical palette uses bright colors with accents in bedding, floor coverings and accessories that are equally as lively. 

  A neutral palette consists of colors "stripped" of their vibrancy, not just browns, greys or off-whites as many people think.  These combinations are useful when attention is wanted on artwork and furnishings without a lot of drama. Neutral pallets are often used when selling a home so potential buyers don't have a strong reaction to any room.

Regardless of what kind of mood you want to evoke or whether your colors are vibrant or neutral, you can choose them in the warm spectrum of reds, oranges and yellows or in the cool spectrum of blues, green and purples depending on what appeals to you.
