Paint Colors
The colors for interior walls are the most important part in interior designing as that's where most of the room's aesthetic appeal comes from. The reason walls are painted in various colors and combinations is because, they provide a neutral or specific background for the furniture, curtains and the decorations. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right shades of colors, which you could coordinate with the rest of the portable interiors. We have a few suggestions for choosing colors for your home, mentioned below. Take a quick look!
- Light Shades: The most popular colors used as wall paint are lighter shades so that the rest of the interiors can be matched accordingly. The most popularly used colors are ivory, beige, light blue and pink, peach, gray, lilac, lemon yellow, etc.
- Dark Shades: Sometimes, using just the opposite color scheme can also be the most perfect combination for homes. Therefore, darker shades such as chocolate brown, teal, red, royal blue, olive green, royal purple, etc., are also choices, where the furniture can be either white or light colors.
- Monochromatic Shades: Some of the popular choices for modern homes are the monochromatic color scheme, where one main color along with its shades are used throughout the room. These main colors are blue, red, orange, yellow, green, violet, pink, brown, black, etc., and their shades (both light and dark) are used as secondary colors.
As mentioned earlier, ideas don't stop at just choosing colors. You have to choose, if you wish to keep your wall plain or painted with some designs. If you wish to keep it plain, you can choose to either paint all the four walls with the same color and have a white ceiling, or you could combine two colors for the two sets or walls. Ceiling designs also add a dramatic touch to the walls. However, if you are looking for designs, we have a few ideas for the same.
- Focal Walls: These walls are when you have only one designed wall in the entire room, which has wall-art or some type of dramatic design on it. You can create this effect by painting either two side walls, or opposite walls with the same designs and colors.

There are polka dots, stripes, straight and inverted squares, linear designs, and various shapes which are used to pattern these walls. These designs are very popular among modern homes.
