Remodeling companies help homeowners maximize the use of their space, transforming their homes into their ideal living spaces. There are many decisions involved in this process, from deciding whether to change the layout of your home to choosing flooring materials. We often think of paint colors as one of the finishing touches on a remodeling project, partly because it’s relatively easy to change. However, it’s best to pick a color that you like the first time. The sizes and floor plans of the rooms you are painting can help you rule out certain colors, making it easier to make the right choice.
Are you repainting small spaces in your home? Here are some colors remodeling companies suggest you avoid.
Charcoal Gray or Black
Generally, the darker the color, the smaller the space will feel. If you’re starting with a space that’s already small, something as dark as charcoal gray or even black will make it feel like the walls are closing in. That’s not exactly the feeling you want to have in your home, no matter the room. If you have a huge room to paint, dark colors will feel moody and dramatic, but you’ll want to use lighter neutrals in small rooms.
Navy Blue and Forest Green
Navy blue and forest green are best avoided in small spaces for the same reason. Both can bring understated elegance to a room, but they’re better as accent colors if the space is small. Navy blue, in particular, is versatile, pairing well with several other colors. Forest green goes well with earth tones and works well as an accent color in spaces with a lot of natural wood.
Saturated Oranges and Vibrant Reds
It’s not just dark colors that can make an already small space feel cramped. Bright, vibrant, and overly saturated colors also have this effect. A vibrant and intense orange can bring life to a large space, but in a small space, it just feels chaotic. Similarly, reds can make a space feel loud and overwhelming. Warm colors can certainly bring life into a space, but you should opt for more muted hues for a more comfortable room.
